A brief account of Pantycelyn’s early years and the way in which he came under the influence of one of the great Methodist Revival leaders, Howel Harris, is followed by a discussion on the personal aims and intentions behind his collection of more than a thousand hymns.
He succeeded, of course, and the ‘direct power of Pantycelyn’s words’, ‘the rich, vivid imagery and the strong contrasts’, and his ‘complete mastery of rhyme’, all combine to form ‘truly great poetry’.
A perfect example of Pantycelyn’s profound influence on Welsh poets and prose writers of our time is found in Saunders Lewis’s novel Monica, ‘a direct link between Pantycelyn and contemporary Wales –; and proof of his lasting legacy’.

For most people, the initials W.W. are synonymous with the magic of William Williams, Pantycelyn, but for me it was the inlaid W.W. inside a bureau-bookcase that cast a magic spell when I first visited the Welsh Folk Museum at St Fagans in the early 1950s.
There was a tradition of fine inlaying thereat this time, which is evidenced by the number of inlaid coffrau bach, long-case clocks, etc. which still abound in the area and have undoubtedly found their way to the far corners of the world where Llandoverians have settled.
The profusion of cabinets from the Cil-y-cwm area is quite phenomenal, and although these pieces are not signed in the literal sense, many bear the 'signature' of the individual cabinet-makers in the minutiae of the details.
