Gwybodaeth am CREW

Sefydlwyd CREW er mwyn cydlynu rhaglen ymchwil ar lefel uwch mewn maes sy’n dod yn bwysicach o ganlyniad i sefydlu’r Cynulliad Cenedlaethol. Am bron i 2,000 o flynyddoedd, roedd cwlwm annatod rhwng diwylliant unigryw Cymru a’r iaith Gymraeg. Ond o ganlyniad i dwf y Saesneg, a ddaeth yn iaith y ‘mwyafrif’ yng Nghymru yn yr ugeinfed ganrif, datblygodd llenyddiaeth newydd yn y Saesneg. Ymhlith ffigurau blaenllaw'r llenyddiaeth hon, roedd Dylan Thomas, Margiad Evans, David Jones, R. S. Thomas, Raymond Williams, Gillian Clarke ac Emyr Humphreys. Ar ddechrau’r unfed ganrif ar hugain, gellir ystyried bod y llenyddiaeth hon yn enghraifft leol o’r llifeiriant byd-eang o lenyddiaethau ôl-wladychol yn y Saesneg.
