| This article examines the work of the Anglo-Welsh poet Jane Brereton in the context of recent critical interest in constructions of British national identity in the eighteenth century. It is argued that Brereton's staunch commitment to the Hanoverian monarchs and the Anglo-British center does not so much detract from her expression of Welsh identity in her poetry, but rather refracts this identity through the lens of British solidarity. In conclusion, it is suggested that, in keeping with other anglo-Elsh riters of her class and language group, Brereton's national identity is informed by ideas of British unity rather than Welsh independence | |
