Beschreibung:
Between 1642 and 1780, powerful social forces transformed Wales from an impoverished, downtrodden, and sleepy nation to one on the threshold of unprecedented social, economic, and political change. Drawing on an extensive range of original and published material, Jenkins reveals how demographic growth, agrarian advancements, the development of heavy industries and trade, and improved communications created the foundation for modern Wales. Among the colorful and influential personalities who appear in this book are Vavasor Powell, Sir Watkin Williams Wynn, Edward Lhuyd, and Sir Humphrey Mackworth.
Part 1 Strife and upheaval, 1642-1660: the Civil Wars and the interregnum; propogating the Gospel. Part 2 The return to stability: the social and economic structure; the pattern of politics; religion, education and literacy; cultural and intellectual life. Part 3 The age of improvement, 1730-1780: social and economic progress; political conflict and change; the spirit of enthusiasm; cultural revival and invention.
