Wien, 2014 Studienkennzahl lt. Studienblatt: A 057 327 Studienrichtung lt. Studienblatt: Individuelles Diplomstudium Keltologie Betreuerin: Dr Lizanne Henderson BA (Guelph) MA (Memorial) PhD (Strathclyde) 1 Acknowledgements First of all, I want to thank all my lecturers in history who introduced me to the basic theories and methods of historiography, but also to those providing lessons for Celtic Studies who made me aware of the importance of looking beyond the boundaries of one’s own discipline. Their interdisciplinary approach of including archaeology, linguistics, literature studies, cultural studies, and anthropology among other disciplines into historical research has inspired me ever since. Regarding this current study, I specially want to thank Dr. Lizanne Henderson who not only introduced me into the basic theories of methods of studying witchcraft and the supernatural during my time as Erasmus-student at the University of Glasgow, but also guided me during the writing process of this dissertation. Furthermore, I would like to thank the University of Vienna for giving me the chance to study abroad as Erasmus-student and also for providing me with a scholarship so that I could do the literature research for this dissertation at the University of Glasgow library and the National Archives of Scotland. Also, I thank Univ.-Prof. Mag. Dr. Melanie Malzahn for supporting me in acquiring this scholarship and helping me finding a viable topic for the dissertation, as well as Univ.-Doz.

  • Bugbear Distinct from Other Goblinoids, Bugbear Name Their Offspring After Any Number of Things
    INTRODUCTION For some Dungeon Masters, one of the trickiest parts of running a campaign is coming up with consistent character names, especially on the fly. Every dungeon master has been in that situation at one point or another; the players have a longer conversation with Village Guard #3 than you anticipated, get invested in them, and want to know their name. This book takes that issue and extends it to some of the less common Dungeons and Dragons races which have been released through officially published material. Why Use This Book? Name generators found online are an invaluable tool for dungeon masters, but finding the right one can be very hit and miss. This book strives to have names which are consistently themed, flavorful, and able to be pronounced at a glance. Using This Book This book has two main table types to roll on: Percentile and Double-Sixty. Percentile tables contain 100 names all ready to go. Simply roll a percentile die or a pair of d10s and go to that point in the table to get your name. Double-Sixty tables have 120 entries divided into two 6x10 blocks. Each entry is one half of the name with the top block going first and the bottom block going second. Roll a d6 to determine the column and a d10 to find the row for the first half, then repeat for the second half. Finally, combine the two halves to get your name. Thank You! To everyone who bought this book, told their friends, or shared it with someone, your support is encouraging me to make bigger and better projects! Thank you! ~J.L.

  • Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur's Court, A
    A CONNECTICUT YANKEE IN KING ARTHUR'S COURT by MARK TWAIN (Samuel L. Clemens) PREFACE THE ungentle laws and customs touched upon in this tale are historical, and the episodes which are used to illustrate them are also historical. It is not pretended that these laws and customs existed in England in the sixth century; no, it is only pretended that inasmuch as they existed in the English and other civilizations of far later times, it is safe to consider that it is no libel upon the sixth century to suppose them to have been in practice in that day also. One is quite justified in inferring that whatever one of these laws or customs was lacking in that remote time, its place was competently filled by a worse one. The question as to whether there is such a thing as divine right of kings is not settled in this book. It was found too difficult. That the executive head of a nation should be a person of lofty character and extraordinary ability, was manifest and indisputable; that none but the Deity could select that head unerr- ingly, was also manifest and indisputable; that the Deity ought to make that selection, then, was likewise manifest and indisputable; consequently, that He does make it, as claimed, was an unavoidable deduction. I mean, until the author of this book encountered the Pompadour, and Lady Castlemaine, and some other executive heads of that kind; these were found so difficult to work into the scheme, that it was judged better to take the other tack in this book (which must be issued this fall), and then go into training and settle the question in another book.

  • Appendixes Appendix A
    APPENDIXES APPENDIX A Yeats's Notes in The Collected Poems, 1933 The Spelling of Gaelic Names In this edition of my poems I have adopted Lady Gregory's spelling of Gaelic names, with, I think, two exceptions. The 'd' of 'Edain' ran too well in my verse for me to adopt her perhaps more correct 'Etain,' and for some reason unknown to me I have always preferred 'Aengus' to her 'Angus.' In her Gods and Fighting Men and Cuchulain of Muirthemne she went as close to the Gaelic spelling as she could without making the names unpro­ nounceable to the average reader.'-1933. Crossways. The Rose (pages 3, 25) Many of the poems in Crossways, certainly those upon Indian subjects or upon shepherds and fauns, must have been written before I was twenty, for from the moment when I began The Wanderings of Oisin, which I did at that age, I believe, my subject-matter became Irish. Every time I have reprinted them I have considered the leaving out of most, and then remem­ bered an old school friend who has some of them by heart, for no better reason, as I think, than that they remind him of his own youth.' The little Indian dramatic scene was meant to be the first scene of a play about a man loved by two women, who had the one soul between them, the one woman waking when the other slept, and knowing but daylight as the other only night. It came into my head when I saw a man at Rosses Point carrying two salmon.

  • Thesis Cover
    University of Cambridge Faculty of English Romance Motifs and Ethics in Malory’s ‘Book of Sir Tristram’ Suxue Zhang Magdalene College Supervisor: Dr James Wade This dissertation is submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy, June 2017 Dissertation Title: Romance Motifs and Ethics in Malory’s ‘Book of Sir Tristram’ Name: Suxue Zhang Summary Sir Thomas Malory’s ‘Book of Sir Tristram’, a condensation of the Old French Tristan en prose, has not received the attention it deserves. Previous studies notice the two texts’ differences in characterisation, style, moral emphasis, structural arrangements, and so on, but no study has sufficiently demonstrated the overall strategy and the moral purposes behind Malory’s changes. This thesis offers an evaluation of both texts’ approaches to some ethical questions, including identity, violence, justice, and passion, through a close analysis of their presentation of romance motifs. The comparison draws on traditional treatments of these motifs and reveals that the authors of romance can incorporate stratified perspectives to voice ideological interpretations. Malory’s treatment of the moral discourse in the ‘Tristram’ articulates the chivalric ideal in the characters’ expressions of how they understand identity, honour, courtesy, courage, faithfulness, justice, compassion, and love. This analysis shows how Malory renews the meaning of the romance motifs borrowed from his sources by changing the characters’ response to the ethical problems underlying the archetypal actions. Thus, Malory’s narrative generates experiential edification, as it engages the reader in the active moral evaluation of the events. Declaration of Length This dissertation is the result of my own work, produced exclusively for the degree for which it is submitted.
