In an extended account of national identity, this companion volume
to People, Places and Passions provides the first detailed study of
the sexual and spiritual life of Wales in the period 1870-1945. The
author argues that whilst Wales and its people experienced a
disenchantment of the spiritual world, a revolution in sexual life
was taking place. This innovative study examines how advances in
life expectancy and improvements in health were reflected in
emotional life. In contrast to the traditional emphasis upon
hardship and hardscrabble experiences, this fascinating and
beautifully written volume shows that the Welsh were also a free
and fun-loving people.
