About The Book
Exploring key aspects of Welsh politics from 1688 to 1789, this text examines: the Parliamentary elections in Wales, the behaviour of Welsh MPs at Westminster and manifestations of public opinion such as Jacobitism and calls for Parliamentary reform. Bracketed by the Glorious Revolution and the French Revolution in 1789, this period of study focuses upon the political actions of two Welsh MPs in particular, Sir Watkin Williams Wynn and Sir John Phillips.
