Notes:
Scholarly work. Draws on the writer's doctoral thesis but 'substantially different'. Deals with the iron production industry at Merthyr Tydfil largely in the late 18th century in the context of the power exercised by the community of ironmasters in relation to that of the community of workers, workplace practice and culture, the town of Merthyr Tydfil, etc. Includes much on the Dowlais, Cynfarthen, Pennydarren, Plymouth Ironworks and their associated families, the Guests, Crawshays, Homfrays, etc
