Description
Delve into the rich tapestry of Welsh heritage with Place-Names of Glamorgan by Richard Morgan. This meticulously researched work serves as both a dictionary and a historical exploration of the fascinating place-names found in Glamorgan, revealing their origins and the stories behind them.
The Story
Glamorgan, steeped in myth and history, is a region where each place-name encapsulates a narrative, often linked to significant events, geographical features, or ancient languages. Morgan takes readers on a journey through time, unearthing the layers of meaning embedded in names that have shaped local identity for centuries. The book not only elucidates the linguistic aspects but also immerses the reader in the cultural and historical context of these names, making connections to broader themes in British and Irish history.
