Summary "Mediæval Wales" by A. G. Little is a historical account written in the early 20th century. The work presents an exploration of Welsh history, particularly during the twelfth and thirteenth centuries, focusing on its social, cultural, and political dynamics, particularly the challenges faced in establishing a stable political identity. The book serves as a compilation of popular lectures that aim to highlight Wales's historical significance and its unique developments during the medieval period. The opening of the text introduces the author's intent to explore the complexities of Welsh history, emphasizing its distinct lack of strong political unity compared to neighboring England. Little argues that Wales's geography and tribal customs contributed to its failure to create a cohesive political structure, despite being a land rich in culture and national pride. He sets the stage for a deeper analysis by discussing the influences of important figures and movements, as well as the impact of Norman rule on Welsh society. Throughout the introductory remarks, Little establishes a framework for understanding how mediæval Wales navigated its identity amidst external pressures and internal divisions.
