Modern Wales - Politics, Places and People

This work presents a series of studies that examine the impact of democracy and the growth of the idea of nationhood in the making of modern Wales. The author explains key aspects of the making of modern Wales in the 19th and 20th centuries. He discusses topics that include political issues from the age of Lloyd George to that of Nye Bevan, a variety of localities, both rural and industrial, and the major political personalities of the period. The book also covers the dominance of the Liberal Party to the World War I, the ascendancy of Labour from the 1920s to the 1990s, and the revived form of nationalism in recent times.
