Summary:This is the first book about the historian John Edward Lloyd (1861-1947), whose A History of Wales from the Earliest Times to the Edwardian Conquest (1911) marks a turning point in the writing of Welsh history. Part One traces Lloyd's life, focusing especially on his career as a historian, while Part Two explores key themes arising from his historical writings against the background of the scholarship and ideas of his time. The book thus provides a case study of national history writing in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries.
