Brief description
The aim of this option module is to introduce students to the international contexts of Welsh political thought and concepts of nationality from the beginning of the nineteenth century to the end of the Second World War. It will focus on connections between the work of key individuals (from William Price and the Welsh Chartists, through Hiraethog and O.M.Edwards to Ambrose Bebb and Saunders Lewis) and events, ideologies and political trends in Britain and Europe. The module will also familiarise students with the critical use of contemporary source material in Welsh and English, as appropriate.
