Quaker Communities in Early Modern Wales

The Society of Friends (Quakers) originated in the turmoil of the Civil War years and Interregnum. Examining Friends in Wales, especially in Monmouthshire in the period 1654-1836, this book assesses the lives of Friends, notably how education, careers, and marriage, were determined by a code of conduct.

'The detailed research that has gone into this book make it fascinating for anyone interested in the history of rural Wales.'Ronald Watts
