  • The Welsh & Their Literature
    The Welsh & Their Literature By George Henry Borrow The Welsh and their Literature The Welsh style themselves Cymry or Cumry, a word which, in their language, means a number of people associated together. They were the second mass of population which moved from Asia into Europe. They followed and pushed forward the Gael or Gauls; were themselves impelled onward by the Slowaks or Sclavonians, who were themselves hunted, goaded, and pestered by a wild, waspish race of people, whom, for want of a better name, we will call Tatars or Tartars. The Cymry have left their name behind them in various regions far eastward of the one where they now sojourn. The most easterly countries which still bear their name, or modifications thereof, are Cambia, „which is two dayes journey from the head of the great river Bruapo,‟ and the Cryme or Crimea. In those parts, and „where Constantinople now is,‟ they tarried a considerable time, and increased and multiplied marvellously: and it was whilst tarrying in those regions, which they called collectively Gwlad yr Haf, or the summer country, that an extraordinary man was born amongst them, who was called by Greeks and Romans, hundreds of years after his death, Hesus, but whom the Cymry called, and still do call, Hu or Hee, with the surname of Cadarn, or the Mighty. This Hu or Hesus taught his countrymen the use of the plough, and to a certain extent civilized them. Finding eventually that the summer country was becoming over-populated, he placed himself at the head of a vast multitude and set off towards the west.

  • John Cowper Powys's Porius: a Reader's Companion
    John Cowper Powys: Porius A Reader’s Companion Updated and Expanded Edition W. J. Keith April 2009 “Reader’s Companions” by Prof. W.J. Keith to other Powys works are available at: https://www.powys-society.org/Articles.html Preface The aim of this “Companion” is to provide background information that will enrich a reading of Powys’s novel/romance. It glosses Welsh, classical, biblical, and other allusions, identifies quotations, explains geographical and historical references, and offers any commentary that may throw light on the more complex aspects of the text. (When a quotation is involved, the passage is listed under the first word even if it is “a” or “the.”) It was first made available on the Internet and in booklet form in 2004, and has subsequently been updated and revised from time to time. The present version has been thoroughly reset and expanded. Numerous errors discovered in the intervening years have been corrected. All page-references are to Judith Bond and Morine Krissdóttir’s edition published by Overlook Duckworth in 2007, with those to Wilbur T. Albrecht’s 1994 edition from Colgate University Press following in square brackets. Since the latter contained many errors and inconsistencies, the words listed often appear there in somewhat different form. Moreover, because the editions are based on different copy-texts, some references appear only in one of the editions; when those occurring in only one version require separate annotation, they have been identified and glossed. References to other JCP books published during his lifetime will be either to the first editions or to reprints that reproduce the original pagination, with the following exceptions: Wolf Solent (London: Macdonald, 1961), Weymouth Sands (London: Macdonald, 1963), Maiden Castle (ed.

  • King Aethelbert of Kent
    Æthelberht of Kent Æthelberht (also Æthelbert, Aethelberht, Aethelbert, or Ethelbert) (c. 560 – 24 February 616) was King of Kent from about 558 or 560 (the earlier date according to Sprott, the latter according to William of Malmesbury Book 1.9 ) until his death. The eighth-century monk Bede, in his Ecclesiastical History of the English Peo- ple, lists Aethelberht as the third king to hold imperium over other Anglo-Saxon kingdoms. In the late ninth cen- tury Anglo-Saxon Chronicle Æthelberht is referred to as a bretwalda, or “Britain-ruler”. He was the first English king to convert to Christianity. Æthelberht was the son of Eormenric, succeeding him as king, according to the Chronicle. He married Bertha, the Christian daughter of Charibert, king of the Franks, thus building an alliance with the most powerful state in con- temporary Western Europe; the marriage probably took place before Æthelberht came to the throne. The influ- ence of Bertha may have led to the decision by Pope Gre- gory I to send Augustine as a missionary from Rome. Au- gustine landed on the Isle of Thanet in east Kent in 597. Shortly thereafter, Æthelberht converted to Christianity, churches were established, and wider-scale conversion to Christianity began in the kingdom. Æthelberht provided The state of Anglo-Saxon England at the time Æthelberht came the new mission with land in Canterbury not only for what to the throne of Kent came to be known as Canterbury Cathedral but also for the eventual St Augustine’s Abbey.

According to Ashe, Arthur's history is more than just a medley of yams, more than just a saga in the" dream time" myth. It puts him within a definite period. It names definite places, and takes him to definite countries .... This is not to say that the official history is true. As it stands, it isn't. But its fullness and firmness, and its power of shaping a consensus, justify a search for the realities behind it. (Discovery 3) For Ashe, there is no need to consider the possibility that Arthur's roots are legendary.

  • Ralph Waldo Emerson's Saxons
    Ralph Waldo Emerson’s Saxons Downloaded from https://academic.oup.com/jah/article/95/4/977/713359 by guest on 23 September 2021 Nell Irvin Painter Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882) towers over the American Renaissance but does not, though he should, reign as philosopher-king of American white-race theory. Widely hailed for his enormous intellectual strength and prodigious output, Emerson wrote the earliest full-length statement of the ideology later termed “Anglo-Saxonist.” His “Saxons” are not, most emphatically, the same as white Americans or white people.1 We ordinarily locate both white masculine gender panic and spread-eagle Anglo-Sax- onism at the turn of the twentieth century, but Emerson laid them out half a century earlier, in the 1850s. In an influential treatise and oft-repeated lectures, he portrayed the American as Saxon and the Saxon as manly man and separated the genealogy of the Amer- ican Saxon from that of the Celt. Deftly and subtly, Emerson elevated the Saxons and disappeared the Celts from the identity of the American. Emerson makes it crystal clear that “Saxon” (or, later, “Anglo-Saxon”) is not a synonym for “white,” even though the his- toriographical literature often seems to equate them. My remarks this evening come from my work in progress, The History of White People, which W. W. Norton will publish in the spring of 2010. The book offers a counterhistory of a prominent theme in Western thought, historicizing the notion of the white, rather than the nonwhite, races.2 Let me state categorically that I do not underestimate or ignore the overwhelming im- portance of black race in United States history.

After the Norman Conquest P ERSPECTI VES Arthurian Myth in the History o f Britain A lmost since it first appeared, the story of King Arthur has occupied a contested zone between myth and history. Far from diminishing the Arthurian tradition, though, this ambiguity has lent it a tremendous and protean impact on the political and cultural imagination of Europe, from the Middle Ages to the present. Probably no ocher body of medieval legend remains today as widely known and as often revisited as the Arthurian story. O ne measure of Arthur's undiminished importance is the eager debate, eight centuries old and going strong, about his historical status. Whether or not a specific "Arthur" ever exist­ ed, legends and attributes gathered around his name from a very early dace, mostly in texts of W elsh background.

  • The Anglo-Saxons CGP History Activity Book Answers Lesson
    KS2 HISTORY YEAR 6 TERM 1: STUDY BOOK ANSWERS 1 Year Six Term One: The Anglo-Saxons CGP History Activity Book Answers Lesson One: The fall of the Roman Empire (pg 2-3) The Western Roman Empire collapsed because it was too big for the Roman Army to defend. Nomads are groups of people who don’t live in one area, but travel from place to place. It is up to your child about what choice they make. They may choose Romans because of nice housing but they may choose Nomads because it meant a lot of travel, for example. True, Vandals and Huns invaded the Roman Empire. False, the Huns actually came from Asia. False, the invaders did not like the way the Romans lived. True, the invaders might have wanted more space to live in. Romans would have used negative words such as violent, dangerous and scary. I think the invaders probably didn’t match the Romans’ description because the Romans would have made them look scarier on purpose. Lesson Two: The Romans leave Britain (pg 4-5) If you were a Roman in 410 you would probably be very scared of being attacked. Allow your child to use their imagination here but encourage them to justify why they would choose this. It is unfair that Romans called the Vandals barbarians because civilised can be measured in different ways and they also made lovely jewellery! There are very few written records about what life was like in Britain between AD400 and 600 because people did not write down their history.

Its starting-point is a series of historical texts in Middle Welsh which, from the second quarter of the fourteenth century, begin to appear together in manuscripts to form a continuous history, termed the Welsh Historical Continuum. The central component of this sequence is a translation of Geoffrey of Monmouth’s influential history of the Britons. The main questions of the first part of the thesis are when and why these historical texts were first combined, and to what degree this Welsh historiographical phenomenon reflects broader European trends.

  • The Middle Ages Middle Ages
    THE MIDDLE AGES AFfER THE MIDDLE AGES IN THE ENGLISH-SPEAKING WORLD Edited by Marie-Fran�oise Alamichel and Derek Brewer D.S. BREWER The American Middle Ages: I Eighteenth-Century Saxonist Myth-Making I ) LAURA KENDRICK 'But America didn't have a Middle Ages! Why should an American, of all people, be a medievalist?' This question was posed to me by my French relatives, who assume that study of the past is not done out of any gratui­ tous curiosity. Why, indeed, does an American think it perfectly 'natural' to study the Middle Ages? Why are there thousands of medievalists teach­ ing on American campuses (often at least partially built in Gothic revival styles)?1 In the late eighteenth and nineteenth centuries Europeans discov­ ered their national identities in their medieval histories, but how can Americans do the same? Not only is American history not supposed to 'start' until after the European Middle Ages were ending, but it is sup­ posed to begin in opposition to them. As the historical doxa goes, the 'New World' provided for its European settlers an escape from the 'Old World' still burdened by the remnants of its medieval past and feudal institutions. But what does it mean to 'have' ·a Middle Ages? Lynn White argued, in a 1965 essay, that 'a blind spot in the study of the history of the United States is failure to recognize our detailed and massive continuity with the European Middle Ages' even to the point that 'today the United States is closer to the Middle Ages than is Europe'.
