A Short History Of Wales

By Owen Morgan Edwards

Book Overview

A Short History Of Wales is a comprehensive account of the history of Wales, written by Owen M. Edwards. The book covers the period from the earliest times to the present day, providing a detailed overview of the country's political, social, and cultural development. It explores the impact of the Roman invasion, the rise of Christianity, the Norman conquest, and the Tudor period, as well as the Welsh language and literature, the industrial revolution, and the country's role in both World Wars. The book also delves into the struggles for Welsh independence and the modern-day devolution of power to the Welsh Assembly. With its engaging writing style and insightful analysis, A Short History Of Wales is an essential read for anyone interested in the history of this fascinating country.The Romans allowed the Welsh families and tribes to remain as before, and to be ruled by their own kings and chiefs. But they kept the defence of the country--the manning of the great wall in the north of Roman Britain, the garrisoning of the legion towns, and the holding of the western sea--in their own hand.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
