{"product_id":"9781837600113","title":"Poems from the Soul : Twelve of the Great Hymns of Wales by M.Wynn Thomas","description":"Even as many in the modern world draw away from organised religion, the great hymns of our time persist: we turn to them at weddings and funerals, at rugby matches and in pubs.   Bringing together twelve of Wales's best-loved hymns, from the eighteenth to the twentieth century, Poems from the Soul reveals the heart and soul of a people's poetry. These are the poems of ordinary folk - blacksmiths, farmers and preachers - and they played a vital role in the creation of the Welsh people.   Ranging from the visionary intensity of Ann Griffiths to the striking biblical imagery of Wales's unofficial national anthem, `Guide Me, O Thou Great Redeemer', in every hymn a single, singular voice sings out, loud and strong with fear, hope, ecstasy or anxiety.   With original illustrations by Ruth J?n Evans throughout, this collection offers insights into the making of a modern nation and demonstrates the transformative power of voices raised in song.\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Hardback","brand":"Gardners","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56307808797045,"sku":"9781837600113","price":12.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0612\/7193\/3106\/files\/9781837600113.jpg?v=1762805361","url":"https:\/\/backstory.london\/products\/9781837600113","provider":"Backstory","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
