Itinerant Minorities in England and Wales in the Nineteenth t ITINERANT MINORITIES IN ENGLAND AND WALES IN THE NINETEENTH AND EARLY TWENTIETH CENTURIES: A STUDY OF GYPSIES, TINKERS, HAWKERS AND OTHER TRAVELLERS by DAVID MAYALL Vol_ 1" Thesis presented to the Department of Economic and Social History, University of Sheffield, for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy, October, 1981 I Acknowledgements= _ This thesis, like any piece of historical research, relied greatly on the varied assistance of a large number of people. Advice, alterna- tive perspectives and criticism were provided by the familiar faces of my-supervisor, Colin Holmes, and-of fellow researchers and friends, However, there were also many unseen faces; an assortment of. contacts reached only through letters and the numerous workers in libraries and record offices, some of whom assisted in the discovery of. and-access to much interesting and useful material while others laboured at my request in vain. A grateful-thank-you is extended to them-all,. and. also to those who offered additional assistance but which time constraints prevented me from exploiting. Appreciation must also. be expressed to-the staff and students at the Department of Economic and Social History, University of Sheffield; the History Department, Sheffield City Polytechnic; and at Northern College, Barnsley, for allowing me the opportunity to present papers on my research, at its various. stages, and for providing encouragement, ideas and, criticisms. Special. mention-should be given to the following who, in their different ways, gave considerable help and assistance, and for whom no ordering would be fair other than alphabetical. Sincere thanks, then,: to Tony.

The term 'Romany' immediately conjures up notions of race and ethnicity, accompanied by images of a separate and distinct culture. Many writers, past and present, have contributed to this essentially mythical, racial construct. Although nineteenth-century travellers were varied in terms of their habits, aspirations, wealth, type of dwelling and the like, the attempt to draw between the travellers cultural lines of divide based on racial determinants contains serious flaws in assumptions, methodology and evidence. f, I- I Moreover, although varied, the travellers were bound together by certain common features, notably by their position as a minority group in relation to settled society. Resultant upon their travelling way of life was a conflict with the 'centre', or with the institutions and structures of a sedentary-based society, in this instance organised around a capitalist political economy. The nature of this relationship with the dominant economic, social and political structures can be explained summarily by reference to the attempts to settle christianise, educate,, and sanitise the travellers, and which were carried with various degrees of coercion and compulsion. 'out Formal and informal upholders and agents of the 'new morality' worked together to bring about these desired ends. position The of travellers was also necessarily affected by general trends'taking place within the economy and society as a whole. Changed perceptions about them, responses to them, and the conditions under which they lived, were a reflection of more general develop- ments.., economic trends'affected their employments, and where they were carried out, which. inturn altered their relations with the sedentary community they served. Similarly, racial theories concerning the 'Romany' assumed a position of pre-eminent status only with the related growth of, and deference to, scientific knowledge from the mid-century onwards. A study of this marginal social group thus touches on many themes that assumed. special significance from around the 1880s, when, in its'main essentials, society took on a shape recognisable to us today, in which the existence of anachronistic social groupings had to be controlled and circumscribed, David Mayall ziz Contents Page No, Acknowledgementsx.. - I Abstract II List of Diagrams V List of Tables VI List of Appendices VII Notes on Footnotes VIII Introduction Travellers in a`sedentary-based society; notions of racial separateness; Gypsy Lore Society; present situation;, major themes; historio- graphical notes., Chapter 1: Itinerancy as a way of life: the 15 nature of travelling and the geo- graphical` distribution of ý travellers .'

Some considerable and substantial work has been done on that section of itinerants most closely linked to sedentary society by occupational and cultural ties, the tramping artisan, and the issue of the vagrant and tramp has also merited occasional comment. Yet these are only the beginnings and in any event touch only the fringes of the travelling community. Gypsies, tinkers, hawkers and the like have been heretofore denied academic attention of any serious kind. Yet a study

    List of horse breeds 1 List of horse breeds This page is a list of horse and pony breeds, and also includes terms used to describe types of horse that are not breeds but are commonly mistaken for breeds. While there is no scientifically accepted definition of the term "breed,"[1] a breed is defined generally as having distinct true-breeding characteristics over a number of generations; its members may be called "purebred". In most cases, bloodlines of horse breeds are recorded with a breed registry. However, in horses, the concept is somewhat flexible, as open stud books are created for developing horse breeds that are not yet fully true-breeding. Registries also are considered the authority as to whether a given breed is listed as Light or saddle horse breeds a "horse" or a "pony". There are also a number of "color breed", sport horse, and gaited horse registries for horses with various phenotypes or other traits, which admit any animal fitting a given set of physical characteristics, even if there is little or no evidence of the trait being a true-breeding characteristic. Other recording entities or specialty organizations may recognize horses from multiple breeds, thus, for the purposes of this article, such animals are classified as a "type" rather than a "breed". The breeds and types listed here are those that already have a Wikipedia article. For a more extensive list, see the List of all horse breeds in DAD-IS. Heavy or draft horse breeds For additional information, see horse breed, horse breeding and the individual articles listed below.

  • Grazer Linguistische Studien 50 (Herbst 1998) London 1997, 229 Pp
    Grazer Linguistische Studien 50 (Herbst 1998) 135 Anthony Sampson: THE SCHOLAR GYPSY. THE QUEST FOR A FAMILY SECRET. John Murray, London 1997, 229 pp. The book under review is a biography of John Sampson, written by his grandson. John Sampson (1862-1931) is the author of the monumental The Dialect of the Gypsies of Wales (1926, Oxford, reprinted 1968, Oxford). It is monumental in two senses: it is the tombstone of a Romani dialect which is now, in all likelihood, extinct, and it is the most impressive grammar of any Romani dialect ever written. Someone once said about it "It is the only dictionary I know which is really good reading wherever you open it" (Charles Reilly, quoted on p.152). Linguists with no special interest in Romani find a very good grammar. The book, even the 1926 reprint, is a collector's item but very hard to find. The Welsh Romani book is a remarkable achievement for a man who had to quit school when he was fourteen, when he became an apprentice lithographer and engraver. The book covers the historical phonology of the development of Indic to Romani and a detailed and illustrative grammar (230 pages), and a very complete dictionary of 410 pages, with many example sentences. Sampson said about these: "Every Roman¯ sentence given in the Grammar or Vocabulary is a spontaneous utterance of some Welsh Gypsy ..." (p. x). An unpublished English-to-Romani index covers an estimated 20.000 English for which a meaning is given in Romani. In addition there is a classified index of etymons of all the roots.

In 1894 he began four years of studies at the Slade School of Fine Art in London, where he worked under Henry Tonks and Frederick Brown. During his time at the Slade School, John also studied the works of the Old Masters at the National Gallery. After suffering a head injury while swimming at Pembrokeshire in 1897, the quality of John's artwork, as well as his appearance and personality, changed. His methodical style became freer and bolder, and his work started to gain notice. In 1898, John won the Slade Prize for his Moses and the Brazen Serpent . John left the Slade School in 1898, and he held his first one-man exhibition in 1899 at the Carfax Gallery in London. Later that same year he traveled on the continent, part of the time with a group consisting of the artist brothers Sir William Rothenstein and Albert Rutherston, William Orpen, Sir Charles Conder, and Ida Nettleship (a fellow Slade student).

  • SATO Hikari. Yanagi Muneyoshi to William Blake
    xviii SATO Hikari. Yanagi Muneyoshi to William Blake: Kanryūsuru “Kōtei no Shisō” (Yanagi Muneyoshi and William Blake: The Philosophy of Affirmation of Life and Its Global Circulation), Tokyo: University of Tokyo Press, 2015. KODAMA Sanehide A number of books and articles have been written about William Blake and Yanagi Muneyoshi and their relationship, but I have never read a book on the subject as thoroughly scholastic and fascinatingly well-organized as this. The author himself has written many essays and articles on Blake, Yanagi, and others, and this book appears to be a compilation of his arduous studies. It contains 15 chapters in 484 pages, plus 153 pages of notes, a chronological bibliography of Blake in Japan from 1893 to 1929, a list of works cited, a list of illustrations, and indexes. It is no wonder that the JCLS award was given to Dr. Sato for this work. * The author starts with a brief account of the life and artistic achievements of William Blake (1757-1827). A professional engraver and a rare visionary, Blake tried to portray in prints, paintings, poems, and prose works, the revelation of the truths he believed he had captured, mostly through mystic experiences. The back cover of Sato's book has an illustration of the charmingly trochaic and symbolic poem, “Tyger! Tyger! burning bright . .” However, he seems more concerned with Blake's later major works: The Marriage of Heaven and Hell (1790), The Book of Urizen (1794), Jerusalem: The Emanation of the Giant Albion (1804- 20), and especially Visions of the Daughters of Albion (1793), an illustration from which is on the front cover of the book.
