About the Author
Nicholas Williams was born in Essex. While still at school he taught himself Cornish and became a bard of the Cornish Gorsedd for proficiency in the Cornish language in Newquay in 1962, taking the bardic name Golvan. He won first prize in the Gorsedd verse competition in 1961, 1964, and 1965. He read classics, English language and Celtic in Oxford and was awarded a PhD in Celtic in Queen's University, Belfast in 1972. Since 1977 he has been lecturer in the Department of Irish, University College, Dublin. His dormant interest in Cornish was reawakened by the adoption of Kernewek Kemmyn, an event which he considers a disaster for the Cornish Revival. He published Cornish Today in 1995 and Clappya Kernowek in 1997. He won first prize in the Gorsedd verse competitions of 1997, 1998, and 1999. He has recently translated the entire New Testament from Greek into Cornish. His Cornish translation of Genesis appeared in 1995. He has also written widely on Irish and Manx. He!
