Book Launch: Nathan Abrams

13 June 2026

Join Professor Nathan Abrams (Bangor University) for the launch of Jews in the Welsh Imagination: From Medieval Times to the Present. This groundbreaking new book uncovers how Wales has imagined, represented, and engaged with Jews, Judaism, and Jewishness across more than eight centuries. From medieval poetry and early modern missionary zeal to twentieth‑century geopolitics and contemporary debates on identity and nationhood, Abrams reveals a hidden but powerful thread running through Welsh cultural history. Challenging assumptions and opening new conversations, this is a major new account of Wales’s complex relationship with Jewishness.
