Resumo

The overall context of this study concerns Wales history. More specifically, its locale regards the emigration of Welsh subjects to Argentina after the second half of the 19th century. My purpose, during the analysis, is to investigate Up into the Singing Mountain (LLEWELLYN, 1960) as to identify how Welsh identity travels to Patagonia and the effect of the Pampas on the novel’s characters’ sense of national pride. Findings indicate how the Pampas transform characters’ idea of themselves, their language, and their habits: especially in what regards Huw Morgan, the narrator.
