Early modern Wales was a place of opportunity and transition for the gentry as they navigated a complex relationship with their English neighbours and found themselves cultivating a new identity as Cambro-Britons. From this in-depth analysis, the book finds that the Welsh gentry were status-conscious and opportunistic, but Welshness remained fundamental to their sense of self. This is further enhanced by considering the early modern Welsh gentry within a wider global context for the first time, through their participation in colonial activity in the Americas, as well as trade and war with continental Europe.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch6\u003eDetails\u003c\/h6\u003e","brand":"Cyngor Llyfrau Cymru","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49655731781945,"sku":"ISBN9781837720965","price":24.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0215\/1318\/files\/9781837720965.jpg?v=1721680744","url":"https:\/\/www.siopcwlwm.co.uk\/cy\/products\/9781837720965","provider":"Siop Cwlwm","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
