Sex, Sects and Society: 'Pain and Pleasure': A Social History of Wales and the Welsh, 1870–1945 by Russell Davies offers a nuanced exploration of Welsh national identity through the lenses of sexuality, religion, and emotional life. This comprehensive study examines how, during a period marked by spiritual disenchantment, Wales experienced a concurrent sexual revolution. Davies delves into the interplay between advancements in health and life expectancy and their impact on the Welsh emotional landscape. Contrasting the traditional narrative of hardship, the book reveals a society that was also characterized by freedom, vitality, and a zest for life. Through this innovative approach, Davies provides a detailed and engaging account of the complexities and contradictions inherent in Welsh identity during this transformative era. ; 5.5 X 1.5 X 8.5 inches; vii,448 pages.
