Inhaltsangabe

This concise and informative guide looks back at the customs and traditions of a predominantly rural Wales during the nineteenth century. Each chapter is complemented by several eye-witness accounts that create vivid descriptions of a forgotten way of life, such as the revelries of the corn harvest, winter nights by the fireside, and the traditional &;cwrw bach&; or fundraiser. Customs are arranged into four main groups: those centred on the hearth and home, agriculture, community life, and the parish church. The Customs and Traditions of Wales explores each custom&;s origins and examines the transformation of Welsh traditions during the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries in response to industrialization. A substantial new introduction places this classic work in its context, charting the progress of the field since the original publication and celebrating Trefor M. Owen&;s life and work.
