Infos

This book compares how two underdog peoples shaped their modern national identities. Welsh Nonconformists, fighting for religious equality and social justice, established the Welsh radical tradition. Slovenes modernised their language and challenged the dominance of German in Slovene-speaking areas of the Habsburg Empire, which collapsed in 1918.

Autor

The readership of this book will be those interested in the history of either Wales or Slovenia, particularly those of Welsh background. It will be of interest to British people interested in the Welsh aspect of the current open-ended state of British politics and the ‘four nations’ angle, and also scholars interested in nationality questions.
