Taking the subject chronologically from the 1890s to when the book
was initially published in 1989, this book analyses those films
specifically concerned with working-class conditions and struggle,
and discusses them within the context of the debate on the social
significance of the feature film. It concentrates on films which
depict labour organizations and political activists, as well as
life in working-class communities and actors with working-class
identities such as James Cagney. Reviews of the original edition:
'...fills a gap in film studies...the study of social and labour
history, and the development of popular culture in Britain and the
United States.'

A team of distinguished authors highlight and evoke the genius of
Welsh football stars and place them in the context of the changing
pattern of the game in Britain and internationally.
This work examines the Welsh acting tradition. Although lacking a
metropolitan centre, a culture developed in which both chapels and
schools encouraged recitations and performances. Each chapter
evokes an actor and assesses their work, career and contribution
made to film and theatre in general.
In this collection of essays, a group of musical enthusiasts assess
the international careers of great Welsh soloists in the context of
the national musical tradition. These individual careers are
examined against the background of wider local traditions such as
the Eisteddfod, religious festivals and male voice choirs. The
emphasis of the book will be on the classical and operatic but the
sheer variety and perpetually evolving nature of popular music in
Wales is reflected in both general essays and in studies of two of
the country's most successful entertainers. The book includes
detailed chapters of Tom Jones, Shirley Bassey and Bryn Terfel,
alongside contemporary music phenomenons such as The Stereophonics,
Catatonia and the Manic Street Preachers.
