Analyses the role of long-term continuities in the political and
religious culture of Wales from the eve of the Civil War in 1640 to
the Glorious Revolution of 1688 In Royalism, Religion and
Revolution: Wales, 1640-1688, Sarah Ward Clavier provides a
ground-breaking analysis of the role of long-term continuities in
the political and religious culture of Wales from the eve of the
Civil War in 1640 to the Glorious Revolution. A final chapter also
extends the narrative to the Hanoverian succession. The book
discusses three main themes: the importance of continuities
(including concepts of Welsh history, identity and language);
religious attitudes and identities; and political culture. As Ward
Clavier shows, the culture of Wales in this period was not frozen
but rather dynamic, one that was constantly deploying traditional
cultural symbols and practices to sustain a distinctive religious
and political identity against a tide of change. The book uses a
wide range of primary research material: from correspondence,
diaries and financial accounts, to architectural, literary and
material sources, drawing on both English and Welsh language texts.
As part of the 'New Regional History' this book discusses the
distinctively Welsh alongside aspects common to English and,
indeed, European culture, and argues that the creative construction
of continuity allowed the gentry of North-East Wales to maintain
and adapt their identity even in the face of rupture and crisis.
