When has Wales been able to describe itself as an independent nation, and will it ever be able to do so again? The question of national identity has affected the Welsh throughout their history, as Professor Gwyn Williams shows in this superb and highly stimulating book. Drawing on myth, legend and poetry, on the talents and ambitions of soldiers, labourers, politicians and churchmen, he tells his story with a deep understanding of his fellow countrymen and with an enviable mastery of historical detail.Beautifully written and faultlessly researched, When was Wales is a major achievement that will be of lasting value both as a general history and study text. 327pgs, Softcover, 1985, ISBN 0-14-013643-6
