Summary:

This book by Richard Wyn Jones offers an in-depth exploration of the political thought and ideology of Plaid Cymru, the Welsh nationalist party. It delves into the historical and cultural contexts that have shaped the party's leadership and its distinctive ideas. The book is structured in two parts: the first examines nationalism and national movements with a focus on Wales, while the second highlights key eras and figures in Plaid Cymru's history, such as Saunders Lewis and Gwynfor Evans. Aimed at those interested in political theory and Welsh history, it provides a rigorous analysis of the party's evolution, ideological foundations, and the broader trends influencing Welsh nationalism.
