Richard Hughes Williams : ウィキペディア英語版 | Richard Hughes Williams Richard Hughes Williams (1878 – 26 July 1919), or Dic Tryfan, was a Welsh language writer of short stories, born in Rhosgadfan in the old county of Caernarfonshire (Gwynedd), north Wales. Most of his stories are set in the slate-quarrying communities of his native Caernarfonshire. He was known to the renowned Welsh novelist Kate Roberts, an early admirer of his work who grew up in the same area. == Work == Richard Hughes Williams's stories were first published in ''Papur Pawb'', ''Cymru'', ''Yr Herald Gymraeg'' and ''Y Goleuad'', and appeared in two collections during his lifetime: ''Straeon y Chwarel'' and ''Tair Stori Fer.'' A posthumous selection of his work was published with an introduction by E. Morgan Humphreys, and in a second edition containing an additional short story and an additional critical essay by John Rowlands, in 1996. Richard Hughes Williams's stories are commonly set among the men who work at the slate quarries, and highlight both physical hardship and danger they endure, and their good humour, courage, and solidarity. Often they focus on a quarryman of unusual eccentricity or poverty, and sketch the incidents, humorous and tragic, that lead to his early death.
