Class and Community in Wales 1850 - 1939

On successful completion of this module students should be able to:

1. Identify the primary historical sources used by historians in reconstructing the history of class and community in this period
2. Locate examples of such evidence and explain the reasons for archival survival
3. Demonstrate an understanding of the relevant historiography, its evolution and the key problems currently addressed by historians in this field
4. Discuss with others the interpretative problems and prospects associated with this topic, including definition of class and community
5. Illustrate, analyse and evaluate the surviving evidence and the associated historiography in an extended written discussion

This module explores the means by which political aspirations were expressed through concensual concepts of community both local and national from the mid-nineteenth century onwards and assesses the degree to which this formation was replaced by sectional class loyalties in the twentieth century.
