Overview

William Thomas, bardic name Islwyn (3 April 1832 – 20 November 1878), was a Welsh language poet and Christian clergyman. His best known poems were both called Yr Ystorm ['The Storm'], and were written in response to the sudden death of his fiancée. Biography William Thomas was born in Wales on 3 April 1832 to Morgan and Mary Thomas, near Ynysddu where Morgan was an agent to the Llanarth family. Although his father was probably a Welsh speaker, his mother was probably an English-speaker and he was educated entirely in English. His fluency and love of Welsh came from the minister of their Calvinist Methodist chapel, Rev Daniel Jenkyns, who married his sister Mary and was greatly admired by the young poet.
