History
"Urban Culture in Medieval Wales" is a collection of articles that examine towns and urban life as part of the cultural fabric of late-medieval Wales. Though medieval Welsh towns were small relative to those in England and Europe, they had a significant impact on a largely rural economy. As the sites of political and cultural tension between English and Welsh, the towns were also responsible for the growth of national identity and a distinctive urban culture in Wales. The chapters in the book draw on the evidence of local records and literature in order to bring to light a neglected aspect of medieval Welsh history.
