Byron Rogers (author)
Byron Davies Rogers (5 April 1942 – 3 August 2025) was a Welsh journalist, essayist, historian and biographer. In August 2007, the University of Edinburgh awarded him the James Tait Black Memorial Prize for the best biography published in the previous year, for The Man Who Went into the West: The Life of RS Thomas. The then Archbishop of Canterbury, Rowan Williams, said of the book: "Byron Rogers's lively and affectionate biography is unexpectedly, even riotously, funny." As a freelance feature writer for newspapers it was said that Rogers wrote with "magnificent flamboyance".
