Subject: Apology X-To: Welsh-L%irlearn.bitnet@hearn.nic.surfnet.nl To: Multiple recipients of list WELSH-L It seems I have irritated a lot of people by starting the discussion of historical novels set in Wales, so I offer my apologies. I write in English because although I have been interested in Wales for several years, I have not had the opportunity to learn Welsh. It is not, as someone seemed to suggest a few days ago, because I am some sort of culturally hegemonic American doing my part to wipe out other languages. DeAnna Bueckert deannab@utxvms.cc.utexas.edu
