Some papers precede the life [generalNote]: of George Ewart Evans. Hanes gweinyddol / Braslun bywgraffyddol | Administrative history | Biographical sketch Nodyn | Note George Ewart Evans was born in 1909, in the mining town of Abercynon, South Wales, the son of a grocer, William Evans, and his second wife, Janet. He attended Mountain Ash County School from 1921 to 1927, and University College, Cardiff, between 1927 and 1931, obtaining an honours degree in Classics and a teaching certificate. He was athletic, distinguishing himself on the rugby field, and while he was at university he sprinted professionally to ease the financial situation of his family. Shortly after this time he began to write, winning a prize for his first published work, a translation of Catullus, in the Sunday Referee in 1934. In the same year he obtained a post teaching athletics at Sawston Village College, an experimental school in Cambridgeshire, which combined the traditional syllabus with subjects of a more vocational nature. That was where he met his future wife, Florence Ellen Knappet and they married in 1938. They had four children, Jane, Susan, Mary, and Matthew, who later pursued a distinguished career with the publishing company of Faber and Faber. During the Second World War George Ewart Llyfrgell Genedlaethol Cymru = The National Library of Wales Tudalen | Page 3 GB 0210 GEOANS George Ewart Evans Papers, Evans served in the RAF, but he continued to write, mainly poetry and short stories, some of which were republished in the collection entitled Let Dogs Delight (London: Faber and Faber, 1975). At that time he experienced several personal crises, including the death of his father, the loss at sea of his brother, Roy, in 1942, and the discovery that he himself was suffering from increasing deafness. His next work, based on his own childhood in the South Wales valleys, was The Voices of the Children, written in 1943-1944 and published by the Penmark Press in 1947. After the war financial pressures compelled the family to leave Sawston, and Evans took up a teaching post in Edmonton, London. Three years later, in 1948, his wife was appointed village schoolmistress at Blaxhall in Suffolk, a flat arable region which contrasted greatly with the hills and industrial valleys of his native Wales. He found that the people differed in their attitudes too, but through conversing with his neighbours he developed an interest in their dialect and the aspects of rural life which they described. They were almost all agricultural labourers, born before the turn of the century, who had worked on farms prior to the arrival of mechanisation, and who spoke a language rich in words and expressions previously only known to him from reading old English poetry. He began, with the assistance of a tape-recorder, to collect oral evidence of the dialect, rural customs, traditions and folklore, first in Blaxhall, and continuing from his later homes in Needham Market, Helmingham, and Brooke, near Norwich. This work, reinforced by careful research of documentary, historical and literary sources, provided the background for his East Anglian books. The tape recordings also formed the basis of radio scripts for features broadcast on the BBC Third Programme, in association with such producers as David Thomson and Charles Parker. George Ewart Evans was engaged in editing, reviewing and extensive teaching activities in addition to his writing. He was a tutor for the Extra-mural Department of the University of Cambridge and the Workers' Educational Association in East Anglia, and he was much in demand as a lecturer for conferences and educational courses. His contribution to oral history and education was acknowledged by the universities of Essex and Keele, both of which awarded him honorary doctorates in 1982. He died in January 1988.

The work takes particular cognisance of the BBC’s ‘Capture Wales’ project and ways in which this project has engendered a wide range of community based media activity in Wales. The research has employed a triangulated methodology with survey, case study and focus group components. Considerable emphasis has been placed on deriving qualitative data directly from participants in the process, particularly those in lower socio- 3 economic groups, and to provide insight into mechanisms to develop engagement in issues linked to the ‘digital divide’.

  • Island Thinking Suffolk Stories of Landscape, Militarisation and Identity Sophia Davis Island Thinking
    Island Thinking Suffolk Stories of Landscape, Militarisation and Identity Sophia Davis Island Thinking “In this thoughtful and illuminating book, Sophia Davis asks us to consider the imaginative appeal of what it means to be an island. Taking in the view from the shores of the Sufolk coast, Island Tinking looks at how ideas of nationhood, identity, defence and nature become bound together in place. Tis book uncovers the stories of how this small, seemingly isolated part of England became signifcant to emerging national narratives about Englishness, its rural inheritance and its future military technological prowess.” —Rachel Woodward, Professor of Human Geography, School of Geography, Politics & Sociology, Newcastle University, UK, and author of Military Geographies “Sophia Davis’s Island Tinking ofers a fascinating and compelling account of mid-twentieth-century Englishness, as seen through a rich archipelagic history of one of England’s most peculiar and most iconic counties, Sufolk. Davis leads the reader through the intensely local impacts and afects of profound historical and global change, and reads the landscape wisely and well for what it can tell us about the dramatic transformations of English culture through and after the Second World War.” —Professor John Brannigan, University College Dublin, and author of Archipelagic Modernism: Literature in the Irish and British Isles, 1890–1970 “Trough close scrutiny of Sufolk stories, Sophia Davis ofers a compelling narrative of islandness in England from the mid-twentieth century. Tese accounts of landscape and militarisation, migration and the natural world, show how island thinking invokes both refuge and anxiety, security and fear. In looking back, Island Tinking captures ongoing English preoccupations.” —David Matless, Professor of Cultural Geography, University of Nottingham, and author of In the Nature of Landscape “Island Tinking expertly takes the reader into the secrets of the Sufolk coun- tryside in a way that no other study has.

  • NEIL LANHAM George Ewart Evans and the Laboratory of Awareness Of
    George Ewart Evans and the Laboratory of Awareness of Marcel Jousse NEIL LANHAM Abstract The year 2011 was the fiftieth anniversary of the death of Marcel Jousse (1886-1961), a Frenchman whose work was little known until recently in the English language for lack of translation. His “insights into the role and significance of Oral-style cultures were corroborated by the field research of Parry and Lord, and extend beyond into as yet unexplored territory”.1 Walter Ong, who was also influenced by Jousse, said of him that his work may never have the currency that it should.2 This article proposes, through principles of Marcel Jousse circa 1920. understanding laid down by Jousse, to look at some of Courtesy Edgard Sienaert, on behalf of the Marcel the negative responses to George Ewart Evans’s work Jousse Society. from academics when he announced in his books the importance of the spoken word as against the written. Evans’s work was nevertheless popular with the general public at the time that it was published, and following his death there were many tributes. However, we learn mainly from the intimate replies to his letters from his friend Jim Delaney of his personal concern and the need to defend his position. “Such an attitude, of course, stems from an overvaluation of the written word, as if it were the only reliable source for past history, and has no appreciation of the value of oral tradition, or ‘spoken history’ as it is termed by George Ewart Evans, who spent a great part of his life battling against people with this attitude ...”.

Whilst such activities offer new models of increasing public engagement with historical research, arguably they now also provide a new critical currency in the experiential dimension of the global digital economy. It is recognised that cultural heritage is a main contributor to tourism development, and internet tools provide platforms to extend the global reach of such heritage assets and narratives, as well as providing increasingly localised stimuli for in-destination visits to sites of historical interest and the application of digital technology
