Published in 1900, The Welsh People offers a comprehensive overview of Welsh history, culture, and national character. Scholars John Rhys and David Brynmor-Jones trace the origin of the Welsh people from ancient Britonnic tribes to the 20th century. Topics surveyed include druidic religion, medieval laws and customs, social structures, geography and commerce. Particular attention is paid to the evolution of the Welsh language from its Celtic roots, including its vocabulary, grammar, and literary tradition. While dated in some analyses, this extensively researched volume still provides valuable insights into enduring aspects of Welsh identity. Its exploration of cultural nationalism precursor movements presages later 20th century Welsh autonomy. This is an informative study for scholars of Welsh heritage.
