He dedicated his working life to the Welsh language, literature, culture and history. He believed, among other things, that "the Welsh language is the most British thing in Britain, spoken from the Firth of Clyde (Clwyd), through Cumbria (Cymru) to Dover (dwfr), before the English came in, and taken over the Channel to Brittany by emigrants" and that Welshness would survive better, as it had done for centuries, within the structure of Britain, rather than by imposing on itself an English-style "home rule" based on a culturally and historically arbitrary boundary. He played a major part in championing the concept of Gwynedd "as part of the national unity of Britain". Literary scholar, broadcaster and translator 1123958666 14943 1985
