Abstract

‘Welshburbia: Welshness in the English Suburbs’ examines English suburbia as a site of Welsh identity formation in the first half of the twentieth century. For the descended Welsh, the experience of living on the margins in English suburbs could reinforce their own sense of liminality or ‘outsider’ status. In particular, the chapter explores how some twentieth-century artists, now prominently celebrated in Wales, were influenced and conditioned by their upbringing in the English suburbs. It frames English artists and writers of Welsh parentage such as David Jones, Norman Lewis, and John Osborne as transcultural subjects, highlighting how their childhood suburban experiences informed their creative development. This chapter also provides a case study of Lambeth-born poet, Edward Thomas examining his display of dual allegiances during the First World War and those of the wider Thomas sibling group.
