It was Merthyr, from the armed rising of 1831 to the electoral radicalism of 1868 and 1900, which led the way towards democracy and civic betterment in the teeth of material degradation and high-handed repression. This volume brings the whole epic history of Merthyr, from 1760 to 1912, into the focus of a fresh and utterly convincing perspective. For Modern Wales, see Merthyr, in a book which is a triumph of readability and intellectual passion.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Joe England\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1913640051\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781913640057\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Parthian\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 05\/01\/2021\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 400\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.05lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.40h x 5.40w x 1.30d","brand":"Joe England","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43990860038399,"sku":"9781913640057","price":25.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_f994708c-d2ab-41ff-89b8-cb8e6826546b.jpg?v=1683307102","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/merthyr-the-crucible-of-modern-joe-england-9781913640057","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
