\u003cP\u003eIn an extended account of national identity, this companion volume to \u003cI\u003ePeople, Places and Passions\u003c/I\u003e provides the first detailed study of the sexual and spiritual life of Wales in the period 1870â1945. The author argues that whilst Wales and its people experienced a disenchantment of the spiritual world, a revolution in sexual life was taking place. This innovative study examines how advances in life expectancy and improvements in health were reflected in emotional life. In contrast to the traditional emphasis upon hardship and hardscrabble experiences, this fascinating and beautifully written volume shows that the Welsh were also a free and fun-loving people.\u003c/P\u003e
