Editorial Review

Product Description
This work offers an original approach to interpreting the military history of Wales, arguing that early military developments in Wales generally corresponded with those of the rest of western Europe-a line of thinking in stark contrast with traditional interpretive efforts that single out early Welsh society as being fierce and lawless. Moving past the stereotypical characterization of the Welsh as simple yet proud, this work touches on all aspects of Welsh society and helps to explain the transformation of the country from a part of post-Roman medieval Europe to the series of independent principalities eventually conquered by King Edward I of England. Included are vivid descriptions of intricate Welsh campaign strategies, military equipment, and fortifications. ... Read more

5-0 out of 5 stars A must for any study of 'y draigd goch'.
Wow, what a tome! I literally could not put it down. It was exactly the kind of information I was looking for. Mr. Davies has done a great job with this book. I actually learned a great deal from the very first reading, and I'm on my third reading now (in case I missed anything). Much of the information contained herein seems to have been mentioned only in brief or bypassed entirely in other works I've read. That makes this an essential part of any medieval Welsh library (in my humble opinion anyway). ... Read more

Product Description
This is a new edition of a book that was originally published in 1991 as the first of its kind, written when women's history in Wales was in its infancy. The chapters range widely across time (1830-1939) and place, from exploring working class women's community sanctions and the perils of being a collier's wife to the very different lifestyles of ironmasters' wives. It also tackles the idealised images of respectable Welsh women in periodicals and the tragic reality of those who committed suicide as well as the transgressive actions of suffrage rebels. ...

Product Description

More than 700,000 British servicemen died in the First World War and 35,000 of these are listed in the Welsh Book of Remembrance. Loss of life on such an immense scale meant that bereavement became a shared experience throughout Britain as individuals and communities attempted to come to terms with their grief. The war memorials found in almost every town and village bear witness to the need felt in the post-war years to commemorate the dead. These memorials have already been studied as repositories of political ideas and as works of art and public sculpture, but little work has been done on the social history of commemoration. 

This book provides the first comprehensive examination of the social and political significance of remembrance in Wales. It places the commemoration process within the wider context of Welsh history in the decade following the Great War, and studies the impact of that war upon local communities and the ways in which those communities chose to remember the fallen. 


Here is a fine study illustrating the enduring place of local loyalties in the identities of the men who went to war in 1914 and of those who survived the war. (English Historical Review) ... Read more

CHAPTER I THE EARLIEST HISTORICAL ACCOUNTS THE country which we now call England, Wales, and Scotland was known in ancient times under the designation of Britaini in Latin, Britannia. The origin or derrivation of the name has been a subject of discussion. Some native historians. such as KcnniHs, who lived in the ninth century, aud Geoffrey of Momnouth, who HOUl"ished in the tvelfth century, derived the name from BwtllS, a Homan consul, who, after conquering Spain, reduced Britain to subjection to Rome.

Editorial Review

Product Description

1937-1979 was a distinctive period in the political history of Wales. It began with a demand by MPs from all parties that a secretary of state be appointed, and ended in 1979 with the referendum on a Welsh assembly, the ‘end of a era’ in the words of Lord Cledwyn.

This book shows how devolution was an issue in Welsh politics during the period under review, how British governments responded to devolutionists’ demands, and how much was eventually conceded.

Early on, two important developments were the setting up in 1949 of the Council for Wales and Monmouthshire and the appointment in 1951 of a minister for Welsh Affairs. Significantly the Council recommended in 1957 that a secretary of state be appointed and Labour acted on that proposal in 1964. The book examines the changing pattern of Labour thinking with regard to Wales and also the various nationalist challenges that threatened its dominance in the 1960s and 1970s. The referendum on the Labour government’s devolution proposals is seen as bringing to an end a period in which both Labour and Conservative governments had been forced into a consideration of Welsh matters, and had been made to think about the precise way in which Wales should be administered within the British system.

Product Description

The sheer scale of surviving early modern Welsh court archives attests to the importance of the institutions that produces them—and they have, since the early 1970s, become major sources for a wide range of early modernists, not just those who specialize in criminal procedure. This volume discusses the fundamental and fascinating paradox of the criminal records of the Denbeighshire courts of the late sixteenth and early seventeenth centuries, demonstrating their potential to illuminate both order and disorder, law-keepers and law-breakers, and the respectable and the unruly—showcasing early modern authority as both powerful and precarious in light of the shared experiences and attitudes of its local communities.
