Produktinformationen zu „A History of Wales, Vol. 1 (World Digital Library Edition) (PDF)“
A History of Wales from Earliest Times to the Edwardian Conquest was originally published in 1911 and was the first survey of the history of early Wales ever compiled.Prior to this work information was scattered among various fragmented manuscripts, typical in Latin or Welsh. Whether from the writings of Roman historians or the records of the Welsh oral tradition, the majority of ancient manuscripts combined history with myth, intermixed with rumor, rarely attempting to separate or distinguish between them.In his History, Lloyd took on the task of sorting through and validating this voluminous information. The resultant history is a rich exploration of Welsh culture. It provides a concise, easily read and understood odyssey through many ages of Welsh history.While painstakingly factual, Lloyd’s History does not diminish in anyway the dark brooding texture of the culture that comes from its mist-enshrouded myths and legends.As a consequence, this work is well able to inform the intellect of the historian on a search for verifiable truth and fact, and still stimulate the imagination of those whose research will culminate in more speculative results such as Ellis Peters’ Cadfael mystery novels. The in-depth researcher will appreciate the detailed footnotes and annotated bibliographic citations Lloyd provides throughout both volumes of this history, as well as the objective reporting of the history, without flavoring it in favor of any particular interpretation or theory.
