Much of the social and industrial history written during the last
quarter of the twentieth century presented Welsh working-class
culture in terms of a thirst for knowledge that was secular,
economic and political. The emphasis was squarely placed on the
influence of the union lodge and the workingmen's institute, and
priority was given to the importance of sport and the public house
in the life of the working class. Relatively little attention was
given to religion and its continuing influence on industrial
communities, despite the fact that the 1904 - 5 revival brought
many thousands into contact with the chapel. Inspired in part by
the challenge of socialist and labour agitation and in part by
theological considerations, Nonconformists moved away from
specifically political involvement and developed their own
responses to the social questions of the day. This new edition will
appeal to a fresh generation of scholars and readers interested in
Wales's Nonconformist history, presenting an exploration of Welsh
social thinking, politics and religion.
