Gwenallt (the bardic name of David James Jones, 18 May 1899 – 24 December 1968), poet, critic, and scholar, was one of the most important figures of 20th-century Welsh-language literature.
He created his bardic name by transposing Alltwen, the name of the village across the river from his birthplace.
