David Lloyd George (Celtic Radicals) Book

The majority of historians have viewed Lloyd George's early career to 1896 as superficial and merely the precursor to his successes at Westminster. Emyr Price provides an altogether different view. Based on original research he asserts that Lloyd George had a very strong commitment to Home Rule (and was the first modern Welsh nationalist), official status for the Welsh language and strong labour legislation and that he campaigned fearlessly against the tide (especially within his own party) to being these measures about. His decision to become a careerist politician after 1896 was the only way he could further the cause of Welsh 'national movement'. Price also investigates Lloyd George's 'Welsh' perception of the major issues that dominated his period of power at Westminster (1908-1922) including Ireland and how these Welsh and Celtic values determined his actions.Read More

  • Product Description

    While the majority of historians view Lloyd George's early career as merely a precursor to his successes at Westminster, this book asserts his status as the first modern Welsh nationalist. Campaigning fearlessly for Home Rule for Wales, official status for the Welsh language, and strong labor legislation, he became a career politician to further argue the cause of the Welsh national movement within Parliament. Also investigated are Lloyd George's Welsh perceptions of the major issues that dominated his time at Westminster (1908–1922) and how Welsh and Celtic values determined his actions.
