Autorenporträt
Ellis Wynne (1671-1734) was a Welsh writer and cleric renowned for his contributions to early Welsh literature and religious thought. Born in Caernarfonshire, Wales, Wynne's work is primarily known for its allegorical and visionary themes, deeply rooted in Christian theology and moral philosophy. His most celebrated work, The Sleeping Bard: Or, Visions of the World, Death, and Hell, is a remarkable example of 18th-century Welsh allegory, offering a detailed exploration of morality, death, and the afterlife through a dream-like narrative. Wynne's writing is characterized by its satirical critique of contemporary society, religious practices, and human nature. His use of allegory serves to both entertain and educate, reflecting his commitment to moral and spiritual reflection. Despite being written in Welsh, Wynne's work had a significant impact on the Welsh literary tradition and provided valuable insights into the religious and cultural milieu of his time. His legacy endures as a pioneer in Welsh literature, influencing later writers and contributing to the rich tapestry of religious and philosophical discourse in early modern Wales.
