Pennod 92 - Dechreuadau Llenyddiaeth Gymraeg Patagonia
A ninnau wedi rhoi sylw i lenyddiaeth Gymraeg Gogledd America mewn cwpl o benodau cynharach, dyma gyfle i ehangu’r drafodaeth ac ystyried y modd yr ehangodd y ‘diaspora’ Cymraeg wrth i’r Wladfa – neu’r ‘Wladychfa’ – ym Mhatagonia gael ei chreu. Ond dechreuwn trwy bwysleisio’r cysylltiad rhwng y profiadau Cymreig a Chymraeg yng Ngogledd America a hanes cynnar Y Wladfa trwy graffu ar gyfnod Michael D. Jones yn yr Unol Daleithiau. (Ac mae anghytundeb cyfeillgar ond gweddol boeth rhwng y ddau ohonom, wrth i Richard Wyn Jones geisio hawlio’r clod am ‘ddarlith ymfflamychol’ a draddododd Jerry Hunter mewn cynhadledd yng Nghaerdydd yn 2001, sef ‘Cincinnati: Crud Cenedlaetholdeb Cymreig?’). Ond canolbwynt y bennod yw degawdau cyntaf gwasg Gymraeg y Wladfa, wrth i ni ryfeddu at ymdrech i greu cylchgrawn heb wasg argraffu cyn symud ymlaen i ystyried amrywiaeth ddiddorol o gynnwys Y Dravod. * The Beginnings of Patagonia’s Welsh Literature As we’ve given attention to North America’s Welsh-language literature in a couple of earlier episodes, here’s an opportunity to widen the discussion and consider the way in which the Welsh ‘diaspora’ widened as Y Wladfa – or Y Wladychfa – in Patagonia was created. But we begin by emphasizing the connection between Welsh experiences in North America and the early history of Y Wladfa by examining the period Michael D. Jones spent in the United States. (And there’s a friendly but fairly heated disagreement between the two of us, as Richard Wyn Jones tries to take credit for an ‘inflammatory lecture’ which Jerry Hunter delivered in a conference in Cardiff in 2001, namely ‘Cincinnati: the Cradle of Welsh Nationalism?’) But most of the episode focusses on the first decades of the Welsh-language press of Y Wladfa, as we are amazed by an attempt to create a periodical without a printing press before moving on to consider an interesting selection from the contents of Y Dravod.

Pennod 91 - Cranogwen
Mae’r bennod hon yn canolbwyntio ar Sarah Jane Rees (1839-1916), y fenyw amryddawn o Langrannog a fabwysiadodd yr enw Cranogwen. Trafodwn ychydig o’i hanes rhyfeddol, gan gynnwys ei hymwneud â diwydiant morwrol Cymru, a’r ffaith iddi herio a goresgyn rhagfarn yn sawl maes mewn cymdeithas a oedd yn rhywiaethol iawn. Edrychwn ar ddetholiad o’i cherddi, gan ddechrau â’r bryddest ‘Y Fodrwy Briodoasol’ a ddaeth yn fuddugol yn Eisteddfod Genedlaethol Aberystwyth yn 1865, a hithau wedi curo dau o feirdd gwrywaidd enwocaf y cyfnod, Ceiriog ac Islwyn. Ystyriwn ei chyfraniad pwysig fel golygydd Y Frythones a chawn gyfle i grybwyll hanes ei thaith lwyddiannus i’r Unol Daleithiau. Dyma gyfle i ystyried pwysigrwydd Dirwest yng Nghymru’r cyfnod hefyd . . . a chlywed am dueddiadau Piwritanaidd Richard Wyn Jones. * Cranogwen This episode focuses on (1839-1916), the multi-talented woman from Llangrannog who adopted the name Cranogwen. We discuss some of her amazing history, including her work in the Welsh maritime industry, and the fact that she challenged and overcame discrimination in several areas in a society which was extremely sexist. We look at a selection of her poems, beginning with the long free-metre poem ‘The Wedding Ring’, which was victorious in the Aberystwyth National Eisteddfod in 1865, as she beat two of the nation’s most famous male poets, Ceiriog and Islwyn. We consider her important contribution as the editor of Y Frythones and we have an opportunity to mention her successful trip to the United States. Here’s a chance to think about the importance of the Temperance movement in Wales as well . . . and to hear about Richard Wyn Jones’s puritanical tendencies.

Pennod 90 - Aelwyd F’Ewythr Robert
Dyma ni’n parhau i drafod Gwilym Hiraethog yn y bennod hon, gan graffu ar garreg filltir o lyfr a gyhoeddodd yn 1853, Aelwyd F’Ewythr Robert neu Hanes Caban F’Ewythr Tomos. Byddai rhyw wyth trosiad Cymraeg o nofel wrthgaethiwol ddylanwadol Harriet Beecher Stowe, Uncle Tom’s Cabin, yn ymddangos erbyn canol y 1850au, ond cyfrol Gwilym Hiraethog yw’r mwyaf diddorol o safbwynt llenyddoldeb, uchelgais a chreadigrwydd. Yn ogystal â chyfieithu ffuglen Saesneg i’r Gymraeg, aeth y llenor o Lansannan ati i lunio cyd-destun ffuglennol Cymreig a Chymraeg gwreiddiol er mwyn cyflwyno’r stori Americanaidd i ddarllenwyr yng Nghymru. Dyma ffuglen am ffuglen – metaffuglen o’r iawn ryw – sy’n cynnwys sylwebau miniong am y berthnynas anodd rhwng rhai darllenwyr Cymraeg a ffurf y nofel. Rhyfeddwn wrth ystyried y modd y bu i lawer o ymneilltuwyr Cymreig wrthwynebu darllen nofelau a nodi bod Aelwyd F’Ewythr Robert felly wedi helpu naddu troedle ar gyfer y ffurf lenyddol honno yng Nghymru. Ac am y tro cyntaf yn hanes y podlediad hwn, ceisiwn drafod llun yn fanwl! ** Here we continue to discuss Gwilym Hiraethog in this episode, looking in detail at a milestone book which he published in 1853, Aelwyd Fy Ewythr Robert neu Hanes Caban F’Ewythr Tomos (‘Uncle Robert’s Hearth or the Story of Uncle Tom’s Cabin’). Some eight Welsh translations of Harriet Beecher Stowe’s influential antislavery novel, Uncle Tom’s Cabin, would appear by the middle of the 1850s, but Gwilym Hiraethog’s volume is by far the most interesting in terms of literary quality, ambition and creativity. In addition to translating the English fiction to Welsh, the writer from Llansannan created an original Welsh fictional context in order to present the American story to readers in Wales. It’s fiction about fiction – proper metafiction – which contains pointed comments about the difficult relationship between some Welsh readers and the form of the novel. We wonder as we consider the way in which some Welsh Nonconformists opposed reading novels and note that Aelwyd F’Ewythr Robert thus helped carve out a foothold for that literary form in Wales. And for the first time in the history of this podcast, we try to discuss a picture in detail!
