Richard Parry and Douglas Hedley

Coleridge in Wales

Hay Festival 2016, 

Does Wales understand Coleridge in a unique way? An exploration of hidden Welsh treasure.  Classical baritone and activist Richard Parry uncovers how R.S. Thomas, leading 20th century artist/poet David Jones and Welsh literary wizard Iolo Morganwg found Coleridge a compelling travelling companion, and Coleridge scholar and author Douglas Hedley explores why Coleridge’s significance as a philosopher, theologian and public intellectual is often overlooked in this event marking the arrival of the travelling.
