 | Analysing for Authorship (ISBN 0708313248)
`A first-rate book, a definitive and admirably lucid exposition of the QSUM technique.' Sir Kenneth Dover.
Analysing for Authorship is the first book to provide a clear and comprehensive guide to the cusum technique, a scientific method for the attribution of utterance. Attributing authorship is often a matter of legal urgency or fierce scholarly debate. Did Derek Bentley really make that confession? Was the story just discovered really by D. H. Lawrence? The cusum (cumulative sum) technique (or QSUM), developed in 1988 by Andrew Q. Morton, is a recognition system applied to human utterance, whether written or spoken, based on analysing sequences of language units by a cumulative sum method of counting. Each person's QSUM `fingerprint' retains consistency across his or her written and spoken utterance and across different genres.

 | Freedom Fighters: Wales' Forgotten War, 1963 - 1993 (ISBN 978-0-7083-2177-5)
Patriots or terrorists: the Welshmen who declared war on England.
Freedom Fighters covers a violent episode in recent Welsh history shunned or relegated to the sidelines by more conventional historians. By drawing together various sources, the author has produced a highly compelling narrative of a period when a group of Welshmen declared war on England with gelignite and fire bombs. Two died, others were jailed in this struggle for Welsh independence. Could it happen again? Or is yesterday's Welsh patriot doomed to become tomorrow's terrorist? 'Freedom Fighters' provides a fascinating insight into Welsh patriotism on the extremist fringes.

Brittany, 1750-1950: The Invisible Nation (ISBN 0708320023)
The book examines the topic of the Breton border, noting the current Breton obsession with the ‘real’ Brittany, variously defined by the Breton language, by an historical legacy, by Celtic characteristics, by its rural nature or by some spiritual quality. It goes on to consider that this search for a ‘real’ Brittany has functioned as a poor substitute to a truly postcolonial project to establish cultural autonomy.

Edited by Norman Doe
Out of print
This is the first collection of critical essays to examine the modern laws governing the life of the Church in Wales.

Recent years have shown a marked renewal of interest in canon law, with revisions and developments in the codes both of the Roman Catholic Church and the Church of England. This book presents a long-overdue analysis of canon law from a Welsh perspective.

 | Lawyers and Laymen: Studies in the History of Law presented to Professor Dafydd Jenkins (ISBN 0708309259)
This collection of studies and edited texts is being offered to Professor Dafydd Jenkins as an appreciation of his contribution to the study of legal history and especially of Welsh medieval law.

The first part is concerned with a principal area of Welsh medieval law, Suretyship. The second contains studies on a wider variety of topics including Welsh, English, and European legal history.
`The volume, while dealing with matters of legal history, is not addressed exclusively to legal historians. Its chief use must be for those scholars who require a knowledge of legal matters while addressing wider historical issues.' (British Book News)

| | Life in a Welsh Countryside (ISBN 0-7083-1271-3)
Life in a Welsh Countryside has won its place as a classic and its influence upon subsequent studies in this field has been considerable. Now available for the first time in paperback with a new Introduction by Harold Carter, it describes and analyses the culture of rural Wales as it manifested itself in the late 1930's in the life of the inhabitants of a parish in rural Wales. An account of the economic life of the people and of the farms and cottages in which they lived provides a background for a detailed study of family life, the social significance of blood-ties, the activities of youth, the social intercourse between scattered farms and the interplay between rural neighbourhoods and hamlets. The latter part of the book deals with the role of religion, the social implications of denominationalism, leisure-time activities, the attitude of tenant to landlord, the connection between religion and politics, and the factors affecting social status and prestige.

| | Marriage, Family and law in Medieval Europe (ISBN 7083-1354-X )
Michael M. Sheehan. Edited by James K. Farge
pp xxxi330 Royal 8vo 1996 hardback
The sixteen studies in this book contain the fruits of a forty-year-long career of archival research and interpretation of documents on property, marriage, family, sexuality, and law in medieval Europe. Marked by an early orientation and developing focus on the status of women in the Middle Ages, the work of Michael Sheehan displays a unique tapestry of the social and legal realities of medieval marriages and family life. The unique feature of Michael Sheehan's work was his juxtaposition of evidence about medieval life, drawn from records of church courts, with the statements of canon and civil law of medieval Europe. With this methodology and insightful interpretation, Michael Sheehan was able to throw light on the way marriage and family life both influenced and was influenced by evolving definitions of law.

Wales in British Politics 1868-1922 (ISBN 0708311245)
The author illustrates the nature and the limitations of political nationalism that arose in Wales in the last century, and investigates its impact upon Welsh politics and society. He outlines and explains the growing awareness of opinion outside Wales of the distinctive needs of the Principality, as the indifference, if not contempt, of mid-Victorian Britain gradually gave way to a more intelligent, if sometimes still patronizing, understanding. An Epilogue takes the account down to 1970, and this revised edition incorporates a number of minor amendments and additions.
`...a book of high quality, shrewd and frank, but above all thorough and just...He has handled the most explosive material known to historians, modern nationalism...' (The Economist)

It was a landmark in the history of the Welsh and Scottish people and indirectly it was also a key episode in the political experience of the United Kingdom in the later twentieth century. The devolution proposals of 1979, and the campaign that led up to the referendum vote, are therefore of wide interest and appeal, not only to Welsh and Scottish people, but to all students of modern British politics generally. Many of the broader considerations that they raise are most ably discussed in this book.
