Beskrivning
This is the first book on John Edward Lloyd (1861-1947), widely regarded as the founder of the modern academic study of Welsh history. Published to mark the centenary of Lloyd's most important achievement, "A History of Wales from the Earliest Times to the Edwardian Conquest" (1911), this intellectual biography reassesses Lloyd's significance by setting his work in the context of his life and of the ideas and scholarship of his time. It thus provides a case study of how the past of a small, stateless nation was reconfigured to provide a new narrative of national origins.

Recensioner i media

In this remarkable book Huw Pryce does for Welsh autobiography what Sir John Lloyd did for Welsh history--establishes it as a subdiscipline of distinction. Lloyd's work is set against earlier Welsh historiography in a manner that could only be achieved by a medievalist as well as being firmly and subtly placed in the context of Victorian intellectual history. This is an unusual, if not unique, combination of skills, and along with its elegant style they make it a landmark in Welsh historical writing. Historiography is a burgeoning field and this fine book cultivates a place for Wales within it. It will undoubtedly become a classic.
