 www.gwales.com - 0708317456, Glanmor Williams: A Life
We have cause to be especially grateful that Professor Emeritus Glanmor Williams, one of our most eminent historians and most distinguished public figures during the twentieth century, was persuaded to expand on his reflections of his early years at Dowlais and Merthyr to write an immensely readable and fascinating volume of autobiography.
Born at Dowlais to working-class parents on the eve of the severe inter-war depression, the author devotes his early chapters to his background, family, community and schooldays, where he writes with unbounded affection and undisguised hiraeth.
Nor does he shy away from those (admittedly rare) occasions when he was subject to personal criticism and accusations of favouritism.
