Module HXC-1006:
Cymru yn y Byd Modern

Cymru yn y Byd Modern 2023-24
HXC-1006
2023-24
School Of History, Law And Social Sciences
Module - Semester 2
20 credits
Module Organiser: Lowri Ann Rees
Overview

On this module you will be exploring Wales's interaction with England, Scotland and Ireland, as well as broader European and American influences, from the eighteenth-century up to the present day. It begins by examining how changes related to the French Revolution, industrialization and romanticism laid the foundations of modern Wales: from the growth of a 'national' political consciousness, to the proliferation of coal-mining communities and the 'invention' of cultural institutions such as the National Eisteddfod of Wales. Sex, crime and sins take centre-stage in modern Welsh history, and this module moves beyond traditional and common stereotypes of Welshness, arguing that the nineteenth-century image of a pious, religious, chapel-going populace is often misplaced. You will similarly look at how English v Welsh tensions have shaped a wide array of issues: from rural uprisings and Welsh language protests, to the two world wars, the skirmishes over devolution, as well as events on the rugby field. Political history will form a core part of this module, and you will study the Liberal, Labour and Conservative parties in Wales, along with the role of Plaid Cymru and a multitude of 'nationalists'. It includes case studies of individuals who straddled the Welsh and British political scenes, such as Lloyd George, Aneurin Bevan and Gwynfor Evans. By using unique collections in the Bangor University Archives, and materials such as oral history interviews, music, films and blogs, this module will expand your understanding of modern British history, and provide you with a thought-provoking understanding of Wales and its recent past.
