""In this acute and engaging study, the author casts revealing new light on a Welsh ruling class whose horizons extended from Wales to the British Atlantic world. Exploring a wide range of themes through the experiences of one gentry family, this book makes a significant contribution to the social history of early modern Wales.""-- ""Huw Pryce, Professor Emeritus of Welsh History, Bangor University, and Honorary Professor, Cardiff University"" ""Sadie Jarrett has produced a deeply researched and impressively wide-ranging study of the Salesbury family across the early modern period. This important book not only enriches and extends our knowledge of one of north Wales's leading dynasties, it also contributes substantially to the scholarship on gentility, politics, family and elite culture in this transformative period of Welsh history.""-- ""Lloyd Bowen, Reader in Early Modern and Welsh History, Cardiff University""
