  Bobi Jones - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Bobi Jones is a Christian leaning firmly on Calvinism.
Jones is a Welsh nationalist and is a strong supporter of the Welsh language.
Many Welsh scholars such as R Tudur Jones contributed to the struggle through their support of pressure groups such as Cymdeithas yr Iaith Gymraeg; while Jones has been a supporter of such campaigns, his major contribution to the promotion of the language is in the field of teaching Welsh to adults.

 A Brief History of Wales-Ch. 19-Once More A Nation   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-16)
Writing of Ambrose Jones, Meic Stephens has so succinctly pointed out that for someone to try to convince the Welsh to remain faithful to their cultural heritage at a time when the British Empire was at its zenith was a monumental task indeed.
Historian Dafydd Johnson sees Jones as way ahead of his day in his intuitive grasp of the recognition that language is not merely incidental, but [is] "an essential aspect both of the mentality of a people and of their nationhood."
Jones was convinced that the forces of materialism were destroying the ancient time-honored values, and in these historical poems and in another series entitled Y Dwymyn (The Fever), he condemned the frantic pace and mindless direction of modern life.

 GO BRITANNIA! Wales: Welsh Literature - 20th Century, Pt I
Yet it was Jones who made an important contribution to the literary revival in the early part of the century by his highlighting the existence of ancient Welsh prose classics, and he helped restore many of the former high standards which had been disappearing as a result of over dependence on inferior English models.
In his time, Jones was considered as the greatest master of the strict meters since the Medieval period, using cynghanedd in a variety of free meters to produce a more flexible form than those constrained by long tradition.
Jones, who lived in London for four years, absorbing the theatre of the West End, returned to Wales in 1930 to begin a career as a school teacher, radio-play producer, and college lecturer.

 Welsh Writing in English   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-16)
A corrective to the myths of Llewellyn is Cwmardy (1937) by Lewis Jones (1897-1939), a Marxist union activist in thc coalfield; his portrayal of the struggles of the miners and their families, and the growing politicization of his young hero, Len, is vigorous, graphic and often moving.
Glyn Jones (1905-1995), for example, was brought up in a Welsh-speaking family in Merthyr, but as a result of his education effectively lost the language, only regaining it and studying its literature as an adult.
At long last, the nature of the 'cuItural wound' of which Bobi Jones writes is being critically explored, the two literatures being seen as dual expressions of the tumultuous cultural shifts which Wales has experienced this century.

My colleague, Ifan Mason Davies, chaired the meeting, and then my cousin Professor Bobi Jones gave a brief life of the Doctor.
It has always been him sitting in the pew listening to me, but here was role reversal, and there he was, without a preacher's voice (I saw the old man in front of me moving his head to get what Bobi was saying as his voice dropped).
Bobi is almost seventy and his autobiography is coming out at Easter and that will be a fascinating window on our family and his life.

 [minstrels] After the Funeral (In memory of Ann Jones) -- Dylan Thomas
But I, Ann's bard on a raised hearth, call all The seas to service that her wood-tongud virtue Babble like a bellbuoy over the hymning heads, Bow down the walls of the ferned and foxy woods That her love sing and swing through a brown chapel, Blees her bent spirit with four, crossing birds.
Her "scrubbed and sour humble hands" become "These cloud-sopped, marble hands," "her threadbare/Whisper in a damp word" becomes "this monumental/Argument of the hewn voice." And the two conditions join, as well, in one tremendously powerful line, "And sculptured Ann is seventy years of stone." The conclusion returns to the images that inspired the monument.
But neither Thomas nor his sister were taught Welsh by their parents; indeed the young Thomas was sent to elocution lessons.

Particular attention is given to the eighteenth-century works of Ann Griffiths and Williams Pantycelyn but there is also much illuminating discussion of twentieth-century writers including Saunders Lewis, Gwenallt, Waldo Williams, Euros Bowen, Bobi Jones and Gwyn Thomas.
