About this product
Product Information
This book explores the ways in which the distinctive Welsh county of Cardigan and its inhabitants (known as Cardis) have been represented during the late modern era. The image of both Cardiganshire and the Cardi changed considerably during this period, and this representational history examines the reasons why these shifts took place. In doing so, the study uncovers an array of opinions about the county. Each of these viewpoints are analysed, placed in context and set against one another. The picture which emerges is of a place and a people onto which commentators projected their hopes and fears.

Reviews
The author, a senior lecturer in history at Liverpool John Moores University during recent years, is well known for his slim volume Cardiganshire: the Concise History published in 2007 by the University of Wales Press in its series on the history of various Welsh counties. The present volume, a revision of the authors doctoral thesis, considers the image of the Cardi, described as a hard-headed, thrifty, business-minded individual whose mores set him apart from his countryman, and comparable with conventional images of the Yorkshireman in England and the Aberdonian in Scotland.Although the appeal of the volume might have been enriched by the inclusion of more illustrative material, the research underpinning it is awesomely extensive and complete, including many disparate archival sources, official papers and reports, a wide range of newspaper and journal material, contemporary sources including poetry and prose works, and travel guides. The thoughts and ideas of numerous individuals, among them politicians and public figures, serious and amateur academics, tinkers and countrymen, and joke-writers, are all considered fully and given an equal place in the compelling analysis.The author adopts a fairly tight chronological framework, and the analysis runs from the middle of the eighteenth century to the beginning of the twenty-first. Consideration of outside influences and inroads into Cardiganshire at the beginning of this lengthy period leads to an analysis of the much-increased contact with other areas, primarily in the wake of the arrival of the railway and accelerated trading links. Outsiders and visitors still commented on features such as a lack of religious attendance, illegitimacy, idleness and vanity, allegedly prominent among the Cardiganshire population (p. 110).From about the 1870s onwards, Benbough-Jackson shows how the county and its inhabitants displayed a much greater distinctiveness. Those who migrated to south Wales formed their own discrete, self-contained groupings in the industrial valley communities. During the inter-war years, the countys image was moulded by the continuing striking prevalence of farming in Cardiganshire and its steadily declining population in the wake of large-scale migration. This individuality was, at one and the same time, criticized and complimented in equal measure by observers. Then, from about the mid-point of the twentieth century, the countys characteristics perceptibly weakened and the traditional image of the Cardi was generally disliked in the wake of the ever-increasing encroachment of the State, but a certain element of county individualism still persists to the present day.The authors overall conclusion is that Cardiganshire, in spite of its isolation and relatively small size, attained a distinctive cultural presence within Wales, and indeed beyond, much greater than many observers anticipated. The rich array of material accumulated by the author amply confirms this.J.

The book is in perfect condition, brand new, and is exactly as described. This item is difficult to find here, and the seller priced it very reasonably. It shipped from the UK to Canada, and unfortunately took a little longer to arrive than the seller hoped, but it was shipped less than 24 hours after I purchased. When I contacted the seller, they were very responsive and helpful. I would not hesitate to purchase from this seller again. Definitely recommend!
