Wales: An Illustrated HistoryPrys Morgan Tempus, 2005 - 318 עמודים In this book, a highly distinguished team of historians tell the story of Wales from the formation of the land to the development of modern Wales as a vibrant, 21st-century state. This richly illustrated history recalls the drama of Roman conquest and settlement; the wealth and wars of the Welsh kings; and the recurring revolts against English rule, romantically embodied by the rebel Owain Glyn Dwr. Wales and its people played key roles in the great events of English and European history, while the impact of the Reformation, printing, and wider education ensured the development and growth of a unique culture characterised by Puritanism, Romanticism, radicalism, and revolt. This book brings to life the legend and reality of this proud nation." |
