THE CELTIC WHO'S WHO Names and Addresses of Workers Who contribute to Celtic Literature, Music or other Cultural Activities Along with other Information KIRKCALDY, SCOTLAND: THE FIFESHIRE ADVERTISER LIMITED 1921 LAURISTON CASTLE LIBRARY ACCESSION CONTENTS Preface. ; PREFACE This compilation was first suggested by the needs nf the organisers of tlie Pau-Celtic Congjess held in Edin- burgh in May, 1920. Acting as convener ol the Scottish Committee for that event, the editor found that there was in existence no list of persons who took an acti^•p interest in such matters, either in Scotland or in any of the other Celtic countries. His resolve to meet this want was cordially approved by the lenxlers of tlie Congress circulars were issued to all wlrose addresses could be discovered, and these were invited to suggest the n-iines of others who ought to be included. The net result is not quite up to expectation, but it is better tlaan at first seemed probable. The Celt may not really be more shy or n.ore dilatory than men of other blood, but certainly the response to this elTort has not indicated on his pfirt any undue forwardness. Even now, after the lapse of a year and the issue of a second ;ind a third circular, tlie list of Celtic aaithors niid inu<;iciii::i.s is far from full. Perhaps a second edition of the l)"(>k, when called for, may be more complete. Such as it is this first C'eltie Who's Who will be found useful as an authoritative book of reference, supplying the addresses of well-known workers and the principal facts regarding them. For that reason it must win the approval and support of all interested in Celtic literature. The book does not pretend to comprise the names ol living Celts who have won for themselves a position in the politics, the literature, the science, the art or the inventions of the world. Such names will be founs.! in the ordinary biographical year-books. This handbook s concerned with tliose who are to-day recognised as con- tributors to tlie literature or music, or who otherwise join in ihe racial activities, of tine Celtic peoples. Even here, as already suggested, it is incomplete, but such as it is, PREFACE. ami from its narrower province, the work shows that the Celtic mind makes a greater contribution to general liter- :itur.' than is generally recognised. Naturally and righlly a large part of tliis contribution is expressed in the different Celtic laiiguagtis, hut not a little is in French or English, and some of the rest will yet be translated into these tongues and so made available to flic world at large. It may be noted that the space occupied by the dif- ferent Celtic nationalities is curiously disproportionate. This was to be expected, for the life and eentimejit of the race do not florw with equal fulness in the different countries. Already the interesting Celtic language of Cornwall has ceased to exist as a spoken tongue, and the Gaelic of the Isle of Man, that little Cinderella of the Celtic sisters, is at a low ehb. Even in Scotland, and in spite of the laudable efforts of it's lovers, the ancient Gaelic is barely holding its own. But in Brittany the Breton speech shows remarkable vigour despite official discouragement; in Ireland the native Gaelic is gaining more in print than it is losing in current speech, and in Wales, the ancient British or Welsh, that indomitable language that survived two great invasions, the Roman and the Saxon, is to-day a living evidence of robust nationhood. These general facts are reflected in the following pages, with the exception that poilitieal distraction has prevented Ireland from giving here its full representation, and distance has deprived not only the Bretons but the Celts of Australia and America of their pi-oper shares. The book has also some value as a quite reliable, if somewhat sketohy index of the breadth of the Celtic field. Ordinary French and English readers have usually but a hazy notion of Celtic affairs, and, indeed, there is often apparent among the different Celtic peoples themeelves a tendency to confine attention to tlieir own immediate <liKtrict, or at farthest to their own native country. But the circiiit of the Celtic Patherlaaid must wider go. And a liandbook like this, containing names and addresses and )>otne references to the work of Celtic students in manv PREFACE. lands, will help to correct the narrowing tendency and to remind readers of the far-reaching scope and variety of the Celtic field. FurtJier examination of the contents of the book w'll reveal interesting facts regarding tlie diverse directions in which members of the different Celtic nationalities pursue their studies ; the extraordinary differences in the ages of students, from the ruddy stripling to the hoary sage of four-score years, and the equally marked differ- ences in the avocations of tlioee who form this literary oommonwealth.

To illustrate this point, the author combines Hasan’s concept of “relevant context” with Bakhtin’s notion of the chronotope to provide an analysis of Sorley MacLean’s poem Hallaig, with its deep-rootedness in space and its dissolution of time. The remainder of the paper is dedicated to following the poem’s metamorphoses and trajectory as it intertwines with Bartlett’s own life and family history, creating a layered simultaneity of meanings orienting to multiple semio-historic centres. In this way the author (pers. comm.) “sets out to illustrate in theory, text analysis and (self-)history the trajectories taken by texts as they cross through time and space; their interconnectedness

  • Celticism, Internationalism and Scottish Identity Three Key Images in Focus
    Celticism, Internationalism and Scottish Identity Three Key Images in Focus Frances Fowle The Scottish Celtic Revival emerged from long-standing debates around language and the concept of a Celtic race, a notion fostered above all by the poet and critic Matthew Arnold.1 It took the form of a pan-Celtic, rather than a purely Scottish revival, whereby Scotland participated in a shared national mythology that spilled into and overlapped with Irish, Welsh, Manx, Breton and Cornish legend. Some historians portrayed the Celts – the original Scottish settlers – as pagan and feckless; others regarded them as creative and honorable, an antidote to the Industrial Revolution. ‘In a prosaic and utilitarian age,’ wrote one commentator, ‘the idealism of the Celt is an ennobling and uplifting influence both on literature and life.’2 The revival was championed in Edinburgh by the biologist, sociologist and utopian visionary Patrick Geddes (1854–1932), who, in 1895, produced the first edition of his avant-garde journal The Evergreen: a Northern Seasonal, edited by William Sharp (1855–1905) and published in four ‘seasonal’ volumes, in 1895– 86.3 The journal included translations of Breton and Irish legends and the poetry and writings of Fiona Macleod, Sharp’s Celtic alter ego. The cover was designed by Charles Hodge Mackie (1862– 1920) and it was emblazoned with a Celtic Tree of Life. Among 1 On Arnold see, for example, Murray Pittock, Celtic Identity and the Brit­ the many contributors were Sharp himself and the artist John ish Image (Manchester: Manches- ter University Press, 1999), 64–69 Duncan (1866–1945), who produced some of the key images of 2 Anon, ‘Pan-Celtic Congress’, The the Scottish Celtic Revival.

  • The Manipulation of Literature
    Routledge Revivals The Manipulation of Literature First published in 1985, the essays in this edited collection offer a representative sample of the descriptive and systematic approach to the study of literary translation. The book is a reflection of the theoretical thinking and practical research carried out by an international group of scholars who share a common standpoint. They argue the need for a rigorous scientific approach to the phenomena of translation – one of the most significant branches of Comparative Literature – and regard it as essential to link the study of particular translated texts with a broader methodological position. Considering both broadly theoretical topics and particular cases and traditions, this volume will appeal to a wide range of students and scholars across disciplines.

    WALES MANAGEMENT REVIEW 2009/10 a INTRODUCTION FROM DIRECTOR, BBC CYMRU WALES IN A YEAR WHEN DIGITAL SWITCHOVER SWEPT ACROSS THE COUNTRY, THE ROLE OF WALES’ nATIONAL BROADCASTER HAS NEVER BEEN CLEARER. Some said that digital switchover would change everything. By beaming countless additional channels into every home across Wales, some warned it would accelerate the fragmentation of viewing, weakening the social and civic ties that bind us together. And yet take a look at what actually happened. In 2009/10, almost a million viewers – the highest figures for at least five years – tuned into BBC Cymru Wales programming each and every week. On top of this success, our network output continued to attract worldwide attention, including Torchwood’s stunning debut on BBC One and BBC Two’s captivating Last Chance to See. That success is of course a tribute to the skills and resilience of our talented production teams – both in-house and across the independent sector – and many of their achievements are rightly “ THIS YEAR’S SUCCESS IS A POWERFUL REMINDER OF captured in this review.
