Mary-Ann Constantine

    Mary-Ann Constantineová sa zameriava na štúdium literatúry obdobia romantizmu s dôrazom na Wales a Bretónsko. Jej tvorba skúma hlboké prepojenie medzi krajinou, históriou a ľudskou psychikou. Constantineová majstrovsky vplietá do svojich príbehov bohaté motívy folklóru a mýtov, čím vytvára diela, ktoré sú súčasne intelektuálne podnetné aj emocionálne rezonujúce.
