Description
A Concise History of Wales by Geraint H. Jenkins is a comprehensive and engaging account of Wales' history from prehistoric times to the present day. Within a remarkably brief compass, Jenkins explores the emergence of Wales as a nation, its changing identities and values, and the transformations its people experienced and survived throughout the centuries. Despite facing seemingly overwhelming odds, the Welsh developed ingenious ways of maintaining their distinctive sense of self, resisting political, social and cultural subordination. This book provides a fascinating and authoritative exploration of Wales' complex history, from the Neanderthals to the opening of the Senedd in 2006. Lavishly illustrated, this volume offers enthralling material for scholars, students, general readers and those interested in Welsh culture and history.
