As of 2015, his work focuses on the history of Welsh manuscripts continuing up to 1800. His work has also included other projects on Wales, including The Poets of the Princes, The Poets of the Gentry, Prose Texts from Manuscripts, and The Poems of Dafydd ap Gwilym. He has written on Welsh music, as well as publishing three volumes of poetry with Secker and Warburg and Faber and Faber. A university friend and associate of Ted Hughes, he has written a memoir of the poet. He was awarded the Derek Allen Prize by the British Academy in 2006.He was elected a Fellow of the Learned Society of Wales in 2011. Source: Wikipedia (en)
