'...a team of leading Welsh scholars' have by their combined efforts created a volume which is as wide-ranging as it is vibrant, and which represents an important and much appreciated addition to the existing corpus of scholarly research in the field of Welsh history...It is surely fair to say that what this volume achieves above everything else is to put Wales into context, both culturally and geographically.
