The Sleeping Bard; Or, Visions of the World, Death, and Hell

'The Sleeping Bard; Or, Visions of the World, Death, and Hell' is a novel written by Ellis Wynne. It was an adaptation of Sir Roger L'Estrange's translation of the Spanish satirist Francisco de Quevedo's Sueños, giving savage pictures of contemporary evils, and is seen as a Welsh-language classic. It is generally said that no better model exists of «pure», idiomatic Welsh, as yet uninfluenced by English style and method.
