Merthyr, The Crucible of Modern Wales

Description

Am ran helaeth o’r 19eg ganrif, Merthyr Tudful oedd yr anheddiad trefol mwyaf a welwyd yng Nghymru, ac mae’r gyfrol hon yn edrych ar dwf y dref, gan archwilio sut y rhagfynegodd hynny gyfnod o drawsnewidiad economaidd a chymdeithasol yng Nghymru.
For most of the nineteenth century Merthyr Tydfil was the largest urban settlement Wales had ever seen. It was the Iron Capital of the world. It was, as the title of Merthyr native Joe England’s magnificent history proclaims, The Crucible of Modern Wales.
