“Dylan’s problem was always that thing that he was too English for the Welsh and too Welsh for the English,” says Welsh poet Menna Elfyn. “I think he must have spoken or understood more Welsh than he let on, but in those days it was frowned upon. He has had a hard time; Britain never appreciated him the way America did. The myths don’t help. They said he was boastful but he often read other poets’ work at readings – that shows humility.”
