Iolo Morganwg
EDWARD WILLIAMS (1747-1826) was and remains better known by his bardic name, IOLO MORGANWG.
As his bardic name suggests, Iolo was a native of GLAMORGAN, and it is this county and its history that became the focal point of his bardic vision.
Like his father, Iolo worked at his trade as a STONEMASON.
He is also considered a ARCHITECT OF THE WELSH NATION on the strength of his contribution to the eighteenth-century cultural renaissance. He upheld Wales's reputation as a civil nation in Bardism and the Gorsedd of the Bards. He was also the first to suggest that Wales should have its own national institutions: a Library, Academy, Museum and Folk Museum.
