The third volume of the series appeared in 1998, dealing with the history of the country from the eighteenth century onwards. The twenty-six chapters may be read as individual contributions to historical scholarship, but together they trace the profound changes which took place in the social, economic, religious and political life of the county during this period.
This volume, for which the editors have brought together a team of eminent scholars, is richly illustrated with maps, line-drawings and photographic plates, and it also contains an index.
Consisting of twenty-six chapters, the volume traces the main developments in the social history of the county from the eighteenth century to the present day. The main features of the economic life of the county – especially agriculture, lead mining, shipping and the tourist industry – are discussed, and further chapters describe the structure of rural and urban society, the domestic and urban architecture of the county, the growth of local administration, and the course of parliamentary representation. Other chapters are devoted to the religious, educational and cultural history of the county, including music and popular culture, the Welsh language, and the cultural institutions for which the county is renowned. The chapters on the religious history of the county have, as an appendix, an invaluable inventory of Cardiganshire chapels and Sunday schools prepared by the Royal Commission on Ancient and Historical Monuments in Wales in association with the National Library of Wales and the University of Wales Board of Celtic Studies.
