The Welsh Language Before the Industrial Revolution cover

The Welsh language is the oldest living European language. This volume surveys the social history of the language in modern times. Its political status is considered, together with the use of Welsh in the courts, and in religion, education and scholarship. The promotion of Welsh is also discussed.

'This book...left me with a vivid sense of the vitality and resilience of the Welsh language, and of its central importance in forming the identity of the Welsh people...essential reading for anyone interested in the history of Wales.' Welsh History Review
