Early modern Wales was a place of opportunity and transition for the gentry as they navigated a complex relationship with their English neighbors 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.","brand":"MediaPlace","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57299946537342,"sku":"NW9781837720965","price":21.53,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1379\/1261\/files\/9781837720965.jpg?v=1778527572","url":"https:\/\/mediaplace.com\/products\/gentility-in-early-modern-wales","provider":"MediaPlace","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
