Reviews
Gareth
Elwyn Jones in Morgannwg: ‘This book is significant in a variety
of ways. It is an important calendar of documents containing a mass of
information which provides a rich quarry for the Tudor social
historian. The introductory essay turns it into a fascinating comment
on many aspects of domestic and economic life in the period...The author and
Society have made an invaluable contribution to the social history of Tudor
Wales.’
W. P.
Griffith in Welsh History Review: ‘This is a highly creditable
and welcome piece of work which enhances the body of primary material in
print available to the historian of Elizabethan Wales.’
