I'm curious if anyone has good suggestions for a book on Welsh history. I'm open to any time period and/or topic that you may find interesting.
Personally, I am particularly interested in the time period between 1535 and 1917. However, the unification of Wales seems like it could be a fascinating topic. I'd also like to stay away from military history and I generally gravitate towards cultural history. Thanks in advance.
Start digging around here for anything: http://www.reddit.com/r/AskHistorians/wiki/books#wiki_europe
Much of what is now considered Welsh to foreigners, i.e. Voice Choirs, and the traditional dress originated roughly in the 18th Century. The only problem is that Wales is so old! I'd honestly say that the Age of Saints is a good start point (Post Romans pre Normans) http://www.amazon.co.uk/A-History-Wales-John-Davies/dp/0140284753 this is a very good book! Also I'd recommend the BBC TV show 'The story of Wales' Hopes this helps!
