The Welsh Illusion

Más información sobre el libro

Focusing on the disconnection between romanticized views of Wales and its actual contemporary society, this examination delves into the historical and cultural narratives that shape Welsh identity. It highlights specific examples, including Sir Anthony Hopkins's school experiences and Churchill's political involvement, to illustrate how public perception has diverged from reality over the past century. Updated to reflect the first term of the Welsh Assembly, the work provides a wry and incisive critique of the media's portrayal of Wales.
