This feature, originally arranged for November 16, had, unfortunately, to be postponed. The Parody is a new literary form of Welsh and is not often attempted, whereas, satire (Y dychangerdd) has had a longer vogue. In prose and verse the parody can be an effective criticism both of the style and the intellectual outlook of contemporary authors. Just as the cartoonist exaggerates a facial expression or a way of dressing, so the parodist fastens on a mannerism in the form or in the thought of an author's work. It's value, however, lies not so much in its criticism, as in the gaiety with which it burlesques popular and even great writers; and the touch of humorous malice, never wholly absent from the best parodies, adds to the attractiveness of this comparatively late-comer to the temple of Welsh literature.
