A Short History of Wales

A Short History of Wales

This little book is meant for those who have never read any Welsh history before. It is not taken for granted that the reader knows either Latin or Welsh. A fuller outline may be read in The Story of Wales, in the Story of the Nations series; and a still fuller one in The Welsh People of Rhys and Brynmor Jones. Of fairly small and cheap books in various periods I may mention Rhys Celtic Britain, Owen Rhoscomyls Flame Bearers of Welsh History, Henry Owens Gerald the Welshman, Bradleys Owen Glendower, Newells Welsh Church, and Rees Protestant Non-conformity in Wales. More elaborate and expensive books are Seebohms Village Community and Tribal System in Wales, Clarks Medieval Military Architecture, Morris Welsh Wars of Edward I., p. xiiSouthalls Wales and Her Language. In writing local history, A. N. Palmers History of Wrexham and companion volumes are models. If you turn to a library, you will find much information about Wales in Social England, the Dictionary of National Biography, the publications of the Cymmrodorion and other societies. You will find articles of great value and interest over the names of F. H. Haverfield, J. W. Willis-Bund, Egerton Phillimore, the Honourable Mrs Bulkeley Owen (Gwenrhian Gwynedd), Henry Owen, the late David Lewis, T. F. Tout, J. E. Lloyd, D. Lleufer Thomas, W. Llywelyn Williams, J. Arthur Price, J. H. Davies, J. Ballinger, Edward Owen, Hubert Hall, Hugh Williams, R. A. Roberts, A. W. Wade-Evans, E. A. Lewis. These are only a few out of the many who are now working in the rich and unexplored field of Welsh history. I put down the names only of those I had to consult in writing a small book like this. ......Buy Now (To Read More)
