Recenzii

‘Iorwerth Peate was a legend in his own time, portraying himself as a people’s hero fighting lonely battles to establish folk-life studies in Wales. In 1948 he succeeded, in the teeth of his enemies, in fathering the Welsh Folk Museum at St Fagans. This riveting biography pulls no punches about Peate’s controversial character, but goes behind the myth to tell a more credible (though still dramatic) story of the varied individuals and movements that coalesced to form St Fagans. It is a thought-provoking study raising many questions that trouble all of us concerned with history, heritage and museums throughout the world.’

"This magisterial biography of one of the most important Welshmen of the twentieth century interrogates Iorwerth Peate the myth (of his own creation) regarding his contribution to the study of folk life and the founding of the Welsh Folk Museum. The author addresses this controversial topic with great insight and understanding, providing the reader with a lively narrative based upon meticulous research."

"...This is a finely balanced, well-researched and clearly-written book which tells an important story about Wales in the twentieth century."
