The chronological sweep of this text allows Pryce (emer., Bangor Univ.) to illuminate the ways in which the course of the history of the Welsh people produced changes in interpretations of that history. He also introduces readers to a vast number of writers and histories of Wales written over multiple centuries. * Choice * This book will undoubtedly remain the core account of the historiography of Welsh history for many years to come. It is the first work of its kind to be conceived and written on this scale, and it succeeds in offering a convincing and lucidly contextualised synthesis of a large subject...Pryce's book reveals the historical depth and significance of this subject, and it serves as a timely reminder of its continuing potential in the modern world. * Ben Guy, Cardiff University *
