People, Places and Passions - Pain Pleasure: A Social History of Wales Welsh, 1870 1945

Klappentext The first of two volumes on the social history of Wales in the period 1870–1945, People, Places and Passions concentrates on the social events and changes which created, shaped, and drove modern Wales. Russell Davies examines a range of social forces little considered elsewhere by studies in Welsh history, accounting for the role played by the people of Wales in times of war, in the age of the British Empire, and in technological change and innovation, as the Welsh traveled the developing capitalist and consumerist world in search of fame and fortune. Zusammenfassung Russell Davies examines the social history of Wales in the years 1870–1948 and challenges a number of generally held views about Wales and the Welsh, offering an alternative history of idiosyncrasies and contradictions of both the country and the people.
