The sixth volume of an authoritative series presenting a penetrating analysis of the social history of the Welsh language during the 20th century, comprising 21 essays by renowned scholars based on thorough research exploring the negative and affirmative aspects of the Welsh language in literary and religious, political and legal, educational and cultural fields.
This is the first full-length history of 20th-century Christianity in Wales. Beginning with a description of religion and its place in society in 1914, it assesses the effect which the Great War made on people's spiritual convictions and on religious opinion and practise. It proceeds to analyse the state of the disestablished church in Wales, an increasingly confident Catholicism and the growing inter-war crisis of Nonconformity. Liberal Theology and the Social Gospel, the fundamentalist impulse and the churches response to economic dislocation and political change are discussed, as is the much less traumatic effect of the Second World War.
