10 editions published between 1927 and 2007 in English and held by 166 WorldCat member libraries worldwide

The Withered Root' recounts the troubled life of Reuben Daniels, reared in a South Wales industrial valley, in the bosom of the Nonconformist culture. Therein lies his downfall and that of his people, for 'The Withered Root' is as thoroughly opposed to Welsh Nonconformity as 'My People' (Caradoc Evans), though for different reasons. Revivalist passions constitute nothing but a perverse outlet for an all too human sexuality which chapel culture has otherwise repressed. Nonconformity has withered the root of natural sexual well-being in the Welsh, and then feeds off the twisted fruits

Across the great divide : modernism's intermedialities, from futurism to fluxus by Chris Townsend( Book )

8 editions published in 2014 in English and Undetermined and held by 49 WorldCat member libraries worldwide

There's nothing pure about modernism. For all the later critical emphasis upon 'medium specificity', modernist artists in their own times revel in the exchange of motifs and tropes from one kind of art to another; they revel in staging events where different media play crucial roles alongside each other, where different media interfere with each other, to spark new and surprising experiences for their audiences.
