Few Welsh scholars of the modern era have served their profession, university, and country as admirably as Sir Glanmor Williams (1921-2005), and this volume recounts his remarkable contributions to the flourishing of Welsh history during the past half century. Highlighting the political, economic, educational, and social threads in his work--including the launch of the "Welsh History Review, " the major publication series Studies in Welsh History, the Oxford History of Wales, and the Glamorgan County History, as well as his charming and modest memoir "A Lie"--this memorial tribute pays honor to an eminent figure in Welsh public life.
