About the author
Born on March 4, 1836, in Anglesey, he grew up in north Wales and later became known by the pseudonym Dewi Môn. He was a Congregational minister as well as a poet, and his work connected faith, learning, and Welsh literary culture.
Over the course of his career, he served in ministry and went on to become head of the Congregational college at Brecon. Sources also describe him as an influential teacher and public figure in Welsh Nonconformist life, with a reputation that reached beyond the pulpit.
He died on January 7, 1907. Remembered both for his religious leadership and his writing, he stands out as one of the Welsh literary churchmen of his generation.
