Abstract
What we propose to do in this paper is to identify some questions concerning nationalism that should interest sociologists, and provide an indication of how they might be tackled, through brief examinations of particular aspects of nationalism in nineteenth-century Wales. Our remarks are preliminary since much basic research remains to be done on the social and political movements of modern Wales.
Wales exists because nationalism says that it exists … In this sense, Wales becomes a process rather than a place, and thus a fit subject of history. (R.M. Jones, 1982, p. 20)
