Book Description

ISBN-10: 0708314899 | ISBN-13: 978-0708314890 | Publication Date: November 15, 1998

This volume traces the profound changes which took place in the economic and social life of Cardiganshire during a period of nearly three hundred years. Particular attention is given to the post-1800 period, for it was in the 19th and 20th centuries that the social forces which had been operating over a much longer period of time came to transform the economic, intellectual, religious and educational life of the people. The volume has been designed to enable the reader to comprehend the course of such revolutionary changes and to understand how and why such a small, remote and poor county should have contributed so richly to the life of Wales.

Editorial Reviews

Review

“One of the most striking features of the whole volume is the high quality of its lavish illustrations . . . This volume makes a massive contribution not only to the series of Welsh county histories, past and present, but also to our understanding of the general history of Wales. All those who have been concerned with its production deserve our wholehearted felicitations on bringing into being such a significant book .” –Glanmor Williams, Archaeologia Cambrensis
