B.L. Coombes

Distributed for University of Wales Press
“ . . . interesting and, at times, moving monograph . . . ” –Labour History Review
“. . . an admirable illumination of a hitherto much neglected author. Covering the 1930s and 1940s, and thus encapsulating a way of life that has disappeared, Bert Coombes’ concern for the reality of the miner’s lot provides a record of great interest to the social historian.” –Social History Bulletin
“It is the great virtue of these complementary books [B. L. Coombesand With Dust Still in His Throat: A B.L. Coombes Anthology] that they reveal so much more of Coombes the man and his writings . . . Bill Jones and Chris WiIliams are, like Coombes, industrious workers and limpid writers. They reveal new aspects of Coombes and give a fresh assessment of his work.” –Planet
“ . . . a very lucid acccount of Bert Coombes’s career that is both chronological and analytical . . . The clarity of the text reflects excellent scholarship.” –Welsh History Review
