The 35 essays range from the first issue in 1970 until 1992 and so chronicle political thought over the past two decades. The authors include some of the biggest names in Welsh literature, history, and politics. Among the topics are Basque nationalists (by Jean-Paul Sartre), the difference between Scottish and Welsh nationalism, the 1939 fire that spawned the modern Welsh nationalist movement, and an interview of novelist Kate Roberts by Saunders Lewis.
