  • Eisteddfod Handout Prepared for Ninth Welsh Weekend for Everyone by Marilyn Schrader
    Eisteddfod handout prepared for Ninth Welsh Weekend for Everyone by Marilyn Schrader An eisteddfod is a Welsh festival of literature, music and performance. The tradition of such a meeting of Welsh artists dates back to at least the 12th century, when a festival of poetry and music was held by Rhys ap Gruffydd of Deheubarth at his court in Cardigan in 1176 but, with the decline of the bardic tradition, it fell into abeyance. The present-day format owes much to an eighteenth-century revival arising out of a number of informal eisteddfodau. The date of the first eisteddfod is a matter of much debate among scholars, but boards for the judging of poetry definitely existed in Wales from at least as early as the twelfth century, and it is likely that the ancient Celtic bards had formalized ways of judging poetry as well. The first eisteddfod can be traced back to 1176, under the auspices of Lord Rhys, at his castle in Cardigan. There he held a grand gathering to which were invited poets and musicians from all over the country. A chair at the Lord's table was awarded to the best poet and musician, a tradition that prevails in the modern day National Eisteddfod. The earliest large-scale eisteddfod that can be proven beyond all doubt to have taken place, however, was the Carmarthen Eisteddfod, which took place in 1451. The next recorded large-scale eisteddfod was held in Caerwys in 1568. The prizes awarded were a miniature silver chair to the successful poet, a little silver crwth to the winning fiddler, a silver tongue to the best singer, and a tiny silver harp to the best harpist.

  • Welsh Lessons © Antone Minard, 2016
    Welsh Lessons © Antone Minard, 2016 This series of lessons is designed to accompany the Welsh courses I offer through the Vancouver Welsh Society, currently scheduled to meet once a week for two ten-week terms. They are designed to supplement the class meetings, or to substitute if you have missed a meeting, or just to serve as a reference. Because heritage language learners all come with different abilities and progress at different paces, each lesson is divided into three sections: Level A for Beginners, Level B for Intermediate, and Level C for advanced. Each lesson starts with a flowchart to help you assess your level for that particular lesson. This is a work in progress, and over the next year or so I will be adding dialogues, exercises, and example quotes from Welsh songs and folklore, and if I can find someone to contribute, illustrations. If there are errors, or if you find something confusing, please contact me at [email protected]. The Welsh Lessons here are meant to complement your other learning tools. There are a lot of great resources online, such as the Say Something in Welsh course (https://www.saysomethingin.com/welsh/course1). The awesome duolingo now has Welsh; it’s not perfect, but it’s very effective for progress in the early stages. Finally, of course, if you’re not a member of the Vancouver Welsh Society, why not join via Paypal as a thank you? Only $20 per year for an out-of-area membership.

By the mid-twentieth century there were generations of children who had learned NOT to speak Welsh for fear of being pun- ished and ridiculed. And even for those who managed to retain their language, the message was deeply ingrained: Speak- ing English was better than speaking Welsh. In the mid-twentieth century, well after the Welsh Not had become firewood, I was born into a Welsh-speaking home in a village on the outskirts of Swansea. My mother and father spoke the language together all the time. My extended family members on both sides, including aunts, uncles and older cousins also spoke Welsh—to each other, that is. No one spoke Welsh to me. ...even for those who Why? My family only wanted the best for me, and the best was thought to be the ability to speak English well.

  • Thomas Stephens and the Abergavenny Cymreigyddion: Letters from the Cambrian 1842–3
    Thomas Stephens and the Abergavenny Cymreigyddion: Letters from the Cambrian 1842–3 Considerable information regarding cultural and intellectual habits may be gleaned from the extensive archive of nineteenth-century newspapers and periodicals held by The National Library of Wales. Sometimes a series of articles or letters reveals so much about both the form and content of contemporary public discourse and the personalities involved that it deserves to be made more publicly accessible. The acerbic letters written by Thomas Stephens (‘B.C.D.’) of Merthyr Tydfil to the editor of the Cambrian between November 1842 and March 1843, and the vigorous replies they received from prominent contemporary figures, among them Thomas Price (‘Carnhuanawc’), Taliesin Williams (‘Taliesin ab Iolo’) and James James (‘Iago Emlyn’), constitute such a collection. These ‘public letters’ bear testimony to the emergence of Thomas Stephens (then only twenty-one years old) as an astute, unyielding and harsh cultural critic.1 They illuminate the fierceness of the debate about the function and conduct of eisteddfodic prize competitions in the decade before the ‘Treachery of the Blue Books’ in 1847 subdued such public dispute, at least in the English language. They also shed light on the ideas of a group of Welsh middle-class ‘progressives’ who sought to replace the reigning paradigm of romanticism in Welsh culture with a more scientific approach to history and national culture.2 In addition, they reveal attempts to establish cultural rules to govern the ‘fair’ use of bardic names and pseudonyms in Victorian Wales. Last, but not least, references to the continuation of the debate in other newspapers, such as the Merthyr Guardian and the Silurian, as well as at public meetings and in a high-street pharmacy, demonstrate how consensus 3 was reached in the ‘walking town’ of Merthyr Tydfil in the 1840s.

Chapter Two: Bardic Echoes To live in Wales is to be conscious At dusk of the spilled blood That went to the making of the wild sky. - Welsh Landscape (R. S. Thomas) There are no sounds in Wales, only echoes. Sometimes clear, sometimes muffled – they can haunt the air like a fine mist. During a morning walk on 6 September 1874, the Victorian poet and Jesuit, Gerard Manley Hopkins, possibly heard one. He had been walking alone through the Elwy Valley, close to his theological college of St. Bueno’s in North Wales.
