Deialog Carchar

Dyma’r gyntaf mewn cyfres o benodau sy’n archwilio gwahanol agweddau ar draddodiad yr anterliwt. Mae Jerry Hunter newydd orffen ysgrifennu llyfr am y pwnc ac “yn llosgi am y stwff `ma”, chwedl ei gyd-gyflwynydd, ac erbyn diwedd y bennod hon mae Richard Wyn Jones yntau’n “ysgwyd ei gynffon” gyda chyffro. Awn ati i ddiffinio’r anterliwt yn fras, gan egluro’i bod hi’n ddrama fydryddol gyda cherddoriaeth, canu, dawnsio a chwffio slap-stic yn greiddiol i berfformiadau a oedd yn debygol o barhau am ddwy neu dair awr. Pwysleisiwn fod agweddau traddodiadol iawn ar y testunau anterliwt niferus sydd wedi goroesi yn ogystal â’r straeon gwreiddiol a ddewiswyd gan y beirdd a’u lluniodd. Gan ystyried yr hiwmor masweddus sy’n ganolog i’r rhan fwyaf ohonynt, cyfeiriwn at ymosodiadau’r diwygwyr crefyddol ar yr anterliwt a’r wylmabsant a oedd yn gyd-destun ar gyfer y fath sioe.

Dirty Jokes and Moral Lessons: The Anterliwt (part 1)

This is the first in a series of episodes which examine various aspects of the anterliwt tradition. Jerry Hunter has just finished writing a book about the subject and “is on fire to discuss this stuff”, as his co-presented says, and by the end of this episode Richard Wyn Jones is “shaking his tail” with excitement as well. We provide a basic definition of the anterliwt, explaining that it was a metrical play with music, singing, dancing and slap-stick fighting central to performances which likely lasted for two or three hours. We stress that the numerous anterliwt texts which have survived are characterized by very traditional aspects as well as the original stories chosen by the poets who fashioned them. While considering the  bawdy humour which is central to most of them, we refer to the attacks of the religious reformers on the anterliwt and the gwylmabsant festival which provided a context for this kind of show.

Pennod 69 - Maswedd a Moeswers: Yr Anterliwt ( rhan 1)

Canolbwyntiwn yn y bennod hon ar yr actorion a oedd yn perfformio mewn anterliwtiau, gan graffu ar nifer o destunau llenyddol sy’n taflu goleuni ar eu gwaith a’u hunaniaeth. 

Yn debyg i gwmni drama heddiw, roedd cwmni anterliwt yn y ddeunawfed ganrif yn teithio o le i le ac yn llwyfannu perfformiadau mewn nifer o wahanol gymunedau. Dengys y dystiolaeth mai ‘llanciau’ oedd yr actorion hyn, dynion ifainc a gefnodd ar eu swyddi arferol dros dro er mwyn ‘canlyn anterliwt’. Awgrymwn fod yr anterliwt yn faes ffrwythlon i’r sawl sydd am astudio seiliau materol diwylliant Cymraeg y cyfnod. Awgrymwn ei fod yn faes ffrwythlon ar gyfer dadansoddiadau anthropolegol hefyd.

‘Talented men following a play’: The Anterliwt (part 2)

We concentrate in this episode on the actors who performed in anterliwtiau, examining a number of different literary texts which throw light on their work and their identity. 

Like a theatre company today, an anterliwt company in the eighteenth century travelled from place to place and staged performances in different communities. The evidence shows that these actors were ‘lads’, young men who left their normal jobs temporarily in order to ‘follow an anterliwt’. We suggest that the anterliwt is a fruitful field for those who want to study the material foundations of Welsh culture in the period.  We also suggest that it’s a fruitful field for anthropological interpretations.

Cewch gyfle yn y bennod hon i gyfarfod â Gwagsaw, Syr Caswir, Ffowcyn Gnuchlyd a rhai o ffyliaid eraill yr anterliwtiau. Wrth graffu ar rôl y ffŵl, nodwn fod ganddo nifer o swyddogaethau mewn anterliwt draddodiadol. Yn gyntaf, mae’n agor y chwarae â’i gastiau doniol a’i eiriau dychanol er mwyn ceisio denu cynulleidfa. 

Awn ati’n fwy athronyddol i awgrymu y gellid gweld gwaith y ffŵl ar ddechrau anterliwt yn nhermau troi torf afreolus gwylmabsant, marchnad neu ffair yn gynulleidfa sy’n fodlon aros yn eu hunfan a gwylio drama am ddwy neu dair awr. Ond os yw’n gorfodi trefn weithiau, mae’r ffŵl yn chwalu trefn hefyd, gan droi byd y cybydd â’i ben i waered. Wrth ystyried Hanes y Capten Ffactor gan Huw Jones o Langwm, sylwn fod y ffŵl Gwagsaw yn chwalu ffiniau’i stori a’i anterliwt ei hun, a gwelwn hon fel enghraifft o’r modd y gallai’r anterliwtwyr weithio’n greadigol oddi mewn i ffiniau’r traddodiad.

A Fool without Bounds: The Anterliwt (part 3)

In this episode you’ll get an opportunity to meet Gwagsaw [‘Frivolous One’], Syr Caswir [‘Sir Harsh Truth’], Ffowcyn Gnuchlyd [‘Fucking Foulke’] and other fools from the anterliwtiau. As we examine the role of the fool, we note that he has many functions in a traditional anterliwt. First of all, he begins the play with his funny capers and his satirical words in order to attract an audience. 

We go on in a more philosophical vein and suggest that one could view the fool’s job at the start of an anterliwt in terms of turning the unruly crowd at a gwylmabsant, market or fair into an audience willing to stay put and watch a play for two or three hours. But if he compels order at times, the fool also destroys order, turning the miser’s world upside down. While considered ‘The History of Captain Ffactor’ by Huw Jones of Llangwm, we observe how the fool Gwagsaw destroys the boundaries of his own story and his own play, and we see this as an example of how the anterliwt-composers could work creatively within the boundaries of tradition.

Smo Fi Ishe Mynd - Edward H Dafis (Sgilti's Disco Dub Retouch)

Yn bell o fod yn unffurf, roedd llenyddiaeth Gymraeg y ddeunawfed ganrif yn faes ymrafael. Rydym ni’n archwilio’r canfyddiad hwnnw yn y bennod hon wrth gloi ein trafodaeth estynedig ar yr anterliwt a’i chyd-destun(au). A ninnau wedi ystyried ymosodiadau’r diwygwyr crefyddol ar y diwylliant traddodiadol hwn mewn pennod gynharach, dyma gyfle i weld yr anterliwtwyr yn taro’n ôl. 

Craffwn ar ddwy anterliwt sy’n llwyfannu’r ymrafael crefyddol ac ideolegol hwn,  Protestant a Neilltuwr gan Huw Jones o Langwm a Ffrewyll y Methodistiaid gan William Roberts, Llannor. Gwelwn ffyliaid y dramâu hyn yn lladd ar y Methodistiaid yn y modd mwyaf anllad a thrafodwn y ddeuoliaeth ddiddorol sy’n nodweddu’r testunau hyn. Ond wrth nodi bod yr anterliwtiau hyn yn hyrwyddo ideoleg eglwyswyr ceidwadol, sylwn hefyd fod rhai oddi mewn i’r gymuned honno yn poeni am natur y traddodiad.

The Fool and the Preacher:  The Anterliwt (part 4) 

Far from being uniform, Welsh-language literature of the eighteenth century was a contested field. We examine that realization in this episode as we conclude our extended discussion of the anterliwt and its context(s). As we have considered the attacks by religious reformers on this traditional culture in an earlier episode, here’s an opportunity to see the composers of  anterliwtiau strike back. 

We look at two anterliwtiau which stage this religious and ideological struggle, Protestant a Neilltuwr [Protestant (or ‘Anglican’) and Nonconformist] by Huw Jones of Llangwm and Ffrewyll y Methodistiaid [‘The Methodists’ Whip’] by William Roberts, Llannor. We see the fools of these plays belittling the Methodists in the bawdiest of ways and we discuss the interesting dualism which characterises these texts. But as we note that these anterliwtiau promote the ideology of conservative Anglicans, we also observe that some within that community worried about the nature of the tradition.

Pennod 72 - Y Ffŵl a’r Pregethwr: Yr Anterliwt (rhan 4)

Ac yntau’n hogyn o sir Fôn, mae Richard Wyn Jones yn ebychu ar ddechrau’r bennod hon na chlywodd ‘un sill’ am y brodyr llengar hyn o’r Ynys pan oedd yn yr ysgol. Dyma gyfle felly i unioni’r cam wrth i ni drafod y pedwar brawd o Bentrerianell, Llanfihangel Tre’r Beirdd. Yn ogystal â Lewis, Richard, William a Siôn Morris, nodwn fod cylch ehangach y Morrisiaid yn cynnwys cymeriadau fel Evan Evans (Ieuan Fardd) a Goronwy Owen. Pwysleisiwn fod gan y Morrisiaid rychwant eang iawn o ddiddordebau, gan gynnwys y gwyddonol yn ogystal â’r llenyddol. Ac yn ogystal ag astudio hen lenyddiaeth eu gwlad, roedd rhai ohonynt yn ysgrifennu rhyddiaith a barddoniaeth wreiddiol. 

Edrychwn yn benodol ar gwpl o gerddi Lewis Morris wrth i ni drafod y modd yr aeth ati i ailwampio agweddau ar yr hen draddodiad barddol Cymraeg a gwneud cyfoeth yr hen oesau yn berthnasol mewn oes newydd. Cawn gyfle i ystyried ychydig o’i ryddiaith hefyd, sy’n fodd i werthfawrogi ymhellach ei hiwmor dychanol miniog. Rhaid picio draw i Lundain hefyd wrth egluro bod rhai o’r Morisiaid yn ei chanol hi pan sefydlodd y gymdeithas Gymreig ddylanwadol honno, y Cymmrodorion.

The Morris Brothers of Anglesey

Seeing as he’s from Anglesey, Richard Wyn Jones exclaims at the start of this episode that he didn’t hear so much as ‘a single syllable’ about these literary-minded Brothers from the Island when he was in school. This is an opportunity to correct that lack, as we discuss the four brothers from Pentrerianell, in the parish of Llanfihangel Tre’r Beirdd. In addition to Lewis, Richard, William and Siôn Morris, we note that the wider circle of the Morrises included characters like Evan Evans (Ieuan Fardd) and Goronwy Owen. We emphasize that the Morris brothers had a wide range of interests, including the scientific as well as the literary. And in addition to studying the old literature of their country, some of them wrote original prose and poetry. 

We look specifically at a few poems by Lewis Morris as we discuss how he went at it to rework aspects of the old Welsh bardic tradition and make the wealth of the old ages relevant in a new age.  We also get an opportunity to consider a little of his prose, which helps us appreciate his sharp satirical humour even more. We also have to pop over to London as we explain that some of the Morris brothers were in the thick of it when that influential society, the Cymmrodorion, was founded.

Pennod 73 - Morrisiaid Môn

Caiff Richard Wyn Jones ragor o hanes llenyddol ei fro enedigol yn y bennod hon wrth i ni drafod Goronwy Owen, bardd enwocaf Ynys Môn. Awgrymwn fod delfrydau llenyddol cylch y Morrisiaid i’w gweld ar eu mwyaf eglur ym marddoniaeth ‘Goronwy Ddu’, gan fod ei feistrolaeth ar y mesurau caeth wedi gwireddu i raddaeth health yr awydd i ailafael yn safonau’r beirdd Cymraeg canoloesol. 

Ac wrth esbonio’r estheteg sy’n gyrru llawer iawn o’i waith, cynigiwn ddiffiniad o ‘Awgwstaniaeth’ (gyda golwg ar y llyfr a gyhoeddwyd gan Saunders Lewis yn 1924). Gwrthgyferbynnwn y cerddi cain a gyfansoddwyd ganddo sy’n mynegi’i hiraeth am Ynys Môn â’r ffaith na ddychwelodd i Gymru ar ôl iddo ymadael, gan yn gyntaf ddilyn gyrfa eglwysig yn Lloegr a diweddu’i oes yn America fel perchennog planhigyfa dybaco a phedwar o gaethweision. Trafodwn hefyd y dylanwad a gâi ei farddoniaeth ar fudiad eisteddfodol y ganrif ddilynol.

**
Hiraeth for Anglesey: Goronwy Owen
Richard Wyn Jones receives more of his native region’s literary history in this episode as we discuss, Goronwy Owen, Anglesey’s most famous poet. We suggest that the literary ideals of the Morris circle are seen most clearly in the poetry of ‘Dark-haired Goronwy’, for his mastery of the strict metres realized to a great extent the desire to bring back the stands of the medieval Welsh bards.

And as we explain the aesthetics driving much of his work, we offer a definition of ‘Augustanism’ (with an eye to the book which Saunders Lewis published in 1924). We contrast the finely-crafted poems expressing his hiraeth or longing for Anglesey with the fact that he never returned to Wales after leaving, first to follow a career in the Church in England and ending his life in America as the owner of a tobacco plantation and four slaves. We also discuss the influence which his poetry would have on the eisteddfod movement of the following century.

Bydd dilynwyr Yr Hen Iaith yn gyfarwydd iawn â’r modd y mae Richard Wyn Jones yn agor pob pennod trwy sôn am ‘hogyn o Ohio’ sy’n dysgu ‘hogyn o sir Fôn’ am hanes llenyddiaeth ei iaith ei hun. Dyma bennod a recordiwyd yn Ohio, a hynny o flaen cynulleidfa fyw fel rhan o gynhadledd NAASWCH eleni. 

Gan ein bod ni wedi gorffen y bennod ddiwethaf trwy sôn am ddiwedd oes Goronwy Owen yn Virginia, ailgydiwn yn y stori honno a thrafod yr unig gerdd a gyfansoddwyd gan y bardd enwog o Fôn yn America sydd wedi goroesi. Ond yn gyntaf rydym ni’n trafod y testunau Cymraeg cynharaf a ysgrifennwyd yn America – gan ddechrau â barddoniaeth gan forwyr o Gymru a gyfansoddwyd yn y Caribî. Dyma gyfle i ddysgu ffaith ysgubol: cyhoeddwyd llyfr Cymraeg yng Ngolgedd America dros hanner canrif cyn genedigaeth y wlad newydd honno, yr Unol Daleithiau. Nodwn hefyd nad ffaith yw’r chwedl boblogaidd am y Tywysog Madog, gan wybod yn iawn y bydd y datganiad yn siom i rai pobl.

‘A Country of forests and wild hills’: The Beginnings of Welsh-language American Literature

Followers of Yr Hen Iaith will be very familiar with the way Richard Wyn Jones opens each episode by saying that ‘a lad from Ohio’ is teaching ‘a lad from Anglesey’ about the literature of his own Language. Here’s an episode that was recorded in Ohio, in front of a live audience as part of this year’s NAAWCH conference. 

Since we finished the previous episode by talking about Goronwy Owen in Virginia, we pick up that story again and discuss the only poem which the famous poet from Anglesey composed in America which has survived. But first we discuss the earliest Welsh-language texts written in America – beginning with poetry by sailors from Wales composed in the Caribbean. Here’s an opportunity to learn an astounding fact: a Welsh-language book was published in North America more than half a century before the birth of that new Country, the United States! We also note that the popular legend about Prince Madog is not true, acknowledging that this ‘myth-busting’ will be a disappointment to some people.
