The Society of Friends (Quakers) originated in the turmoil of the Civil War years and Interregnum. Examining Friends in Wales, especially in Monmouthshire in the period 1654-1836, this book assesses the lives of Friends, notably how education, careers, and marriage, were determined by a code of conduct.
Quakerism has long fascinated historians and religious scholars, and Richard Allens examination of the communitys rise and fall in Wales holds a wealth of new insights. The prominent role played by women, the resilience of Quakers in the face of a variety of forms of official persecution, the ways that education, careers, and marriage were determined by a strict code of conduct, and the reasons for Quakerisms decline all come under consideration here. As the first scholarly analysis of Welsh Quakers, this book represents an important new contribution to our knowledge of the movement.
