Summary:

This book compares how two underdog peoples shaped their modern national identities. Welsh Nonconformists, fighting for religious equality and social justice, established the Welsh radical tradition. Slovenes modernised their language and challenged the dominance of German in Slovene-speaking areas of the Habsburg Empire, which collapsed in 1918.
