"Performing past and present: The self-fashioning of Angharad Llwyd (1780–1866), antiquary, author, and facilitator"
This paper will examine the figure of antiquary, author, and facilitator Angharad Llwyd (1780–1866), who fashioned her unique identity in parallel with the Welsh cultural revival sponsored by the Cambrian and Cymreigyddion Societies in the first half of the nineteenth century. The conjunction of sociability and antiquarianism were central to Angharad's experience, as she strove to consolidate and expand a dearly-held legacy – the collection of documents relating to Welsh history inherited from her father, one-time rector of Caerwys, John Lloyd (1733–93).
