Brief description
This module will examine social movements, and locate them in their changing social contexts. Beginning with pre and early industrial forms of popular custom and protest, the module will study in turn the growth and decline of Chartism, crime and law-keeping, radical nonconformity, liberalism and movements of social and moral reform, trade unionism and socialism. This general conspectus will enable students to address questions of social change, political ideology and national identity, and will provide a starting point for the study of modern Wales in level three.
