A fascinating book, readable and illuminating.' Times Literary Supplement

The book explores the formation of modern national identities through the lens of two underdog groups: the Welsh Nonconformists, who championed religious equality and social justice, and the Slovenes, who modernized their language to resist German dominance within the Habsburg Empire. It delves into how these movements contributed to the establishment of distinct cultural traditions and identities, highlighting their resilience and efforts in the face of larger political forces.
