Yn bell o fod yn unffurf, roedd llenyddiaeth Gymraeg y ddeunawfed ganrif yn faes ymrafael. Rydym ni’n archwilio’r canfyddiad hwnnw yn y bennod hon wrth gloi ein trafodaeth estynedig ar yr anterliwt a’i chyd-destun(au). A ninnau wedi ystyried ymosodiadau’r diwygwyr crefyddol ar y diwylliant traddodiadol hwn mewn pennod gynharach, dyma gyfle i weld yr anterliwtwyr yn taro’n ôl. Craffwn ar ddwy anterliwt sy’n llwyfannu’r ymrafael crefyddol ac ideolegol hwn, Protestant a Neilltuwr gan Huw Jones o Langwm a Ffrewyll y Methodistiaid gan William Roberts, Llannor. Gwelwn ffyliaid y dramâu hyn yn lladd ar y Methodistiaid yn y modd mwyaf anllad a thrafodwn y ddeuoliaeth ddiddorol sy’n nodweddu’r testunau hyn. Ond wrth nodi bod yr anterliwtiau hyn yn hyrwyddo ideoleg eglwyswyr ceidwadol, sylwn hefyd fod rhai oddi mewn i’r gymuned honno yn poeni am natur y traddodiad. ** The Fool and the Preacher: The Anterliwt (part 4) Far from being uniform, Welsh-language literature of the eighteenth century was a contested field. We examine that realization in this episode as we conclude our extended discussion of the anterliwt and its context(s). As we have considered the attacks by religious reformers on this traditional culture in an earlier episode, here’s an opportunity to see the composers of anterliwtiau strike back. We look at two anterliwtiau which stage this religious and ideological struggle, Protestant a Neilltuwr [Protestant (or ‘Anglican’) and Nonconformist] by Huw Jones of Llangwm and Ffrewyll y Methodistiaid [‘The Methodists’ Whip’] by William Roberts, Llannor. We see the fools of these plays belittling the Methodists in the bawdiest of ways and we discuss the interesting dualism which characterises these texts. But as we note that these anterliwtiau promote the ideology of conservative Anglicans, we also observe that some within that community worried about the nature of the tradition.
