Rhys Kaminski-Jones

Rhys Kaminski-Jones is a Research Fellow at the Centre for Advanced Welsh and Celtic Studies (CAWCS), affiliated with the University of Wales. His work bridges Welsh, English, and Celtic literatures from the 18th century to the Romantic era, with a focus on revivalism, Britishness, and imperialism.

• British Academy-funded project on William Owen Pughe
• Monograph: Reframing Welsh Revivalism: True Britons and Celtic Empires, 1707–1819

Research interests include Celtic revivalism (1700–present), cross-linguistic literary interactions, and the role of antiquarianism in imperial and national contexts. His teaching modules cover Celtic revival texts, Arthurian legends, and research methodologies.

Publications trends emphasize Welsh Romanticism, transnational Celtic networks, and archival reinterpretations of bardic traditions, often exploring intersections between local revivalism and global British imperialism.
