  • “Powerful Arms and Fertile Soil”
    “Powerful Arms and Fertile Soil” English Identity and the Law of Arms in Early Modern England Claire Renée Kennedy A thesis submitted in fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in History and Philosophy of Science University of Sydney 2017 ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS My greatest thanks and appreciation to Ofer Gal, who supervised my PhD with constant interest, insightfulness and support. This thesis owes so much to his helpful conversation and encouraging supervision and guidance. I have benefitted immensely from the suggestions and criticisms of my examiners, John Sutton, Nick Wilding, and Anthony Grafton, to whom I owe a particular debt. Grafton’s suggestion during the very early stages of my candidature that the quarrel between William Camden and Ralph Brooke might provide a promising avenue for research provided much inspiration for the larger project. I am greatly indebted to the staff in the Unit for History and Philosophy of Science: in particular, Hans Pols for his unwavering support and encouragement; Daniela Helbig, for providing some much-needed motivation during the home-stretch; and Debbie Castle, for her encouraging and reassuring presence. I have benefitted immensely from conversations with friends, in and outside the Unit for HPS. This includes, (but is not limited to): Megan Baumhammer, Sahar Tavakoli, Ian Lawson, Nick Bozic, Gemma Lucy Smart, Georg Repnikov, Anson Fehross, Caitrin Donovan, Stefan Gawronski, Angus Cornwell, Brenda Rosales and Carrie Hardie. My particular thanks to Kathryn Ticehurst and Laura Sumrall, for their willingness to read drafts, to listen, and to help me clarify my thoughts and ideas. My thanks also to the Centre for Editing Lives and Letters, University College London, and the History of Science Program, Princeton University, where I benefitted from spending time as a visiting research student.

These included a projected Topography of England, a fifty volume work the noted scholar William Lily, where he enjoyed the patronage of a certain Thomas on the Antiquities and Civil History of Britain, a six volume Survey of the islands Myles. From there he proceeded to Christ’s College, Cambridge where he graduated adjoining Britain (including the Isle of Wight, the Isle of Man and Anglesey) and an B.A. in 1522. Afterwards he studied at All Souls, Oxford, where he met Thomas Caius, engraved map of Britain. He also proposed to publish a full description of all Henry’s and at Paris under Francis Sylvius.

While so employed, he wrote much elegant Latin poetry in praise of much effort in seeking church advancement and in literary disputes such as that with the Royal Court which may have gained him favour with Henry VIII, for he was Richard Croke, who he claimed had slandered him.

  • Katie Flack – the Diaries of Joseph Jenkins
    48 The diaries of Joseph Jenkins Australian Manuscripts Collection MS 13267 Acquired 1997 From time to time the musical lilt of Welsh voices drifts up towards the decorative ceilings of State Library Victoria’s La Trobe Gallery, the home of the manuscripts team. The geiriau (words) spoken belong to Joseph Jenkins, better known to Australian history buffs as the ‘Welsh Swagman’. Jenkins was born in 1818 in Ceredigion, Mid Wales, to a family of poets and farmers.1 He followed in his forebears’ footsteps until, plagued by personal strife, he set off for the distant shores of Australia at the unlikely age of 51. After arriving in Port Melbourne in 1869, Jenkins meticulously recorded his life as an itinerant labourer and new Victorian. Across 25 diaries (1869–94),2 he documented everything from the exorbitant price of a cabbage in drought- stricken 1860s Melbourne to the latest news about bushranger Ned Kelly, and his belief in Aboriginal land rights. Jenkins, a native Welsh speaker, kept his diaries mainly in English, as they offered him an opportunity to practise his written expression in this less familiar language. But he regularly peppers his texts with poems and notes written in his mother tongue, and in the 1870s and 1880s won recognition at Ballarat eisteddfods for recitations of his englynion (Welsh poetry). Extracts from Jenkins’ Australian diaries were published by his grandson William Evans in 1975 and went into several reprints, but in more recent times slipped off the cultural radar. An enthusiastic team of translators from the South Caulfield Community House Welsh-language group is now transcribing Jenkins’ words for new audiences.

  • 9 Abergavenny Castle & Museum
    DAY VISIT ITINERARIES 9 Abergavenny Castle & Museum Enjoy a day out visiting two attractions in one. Abergavenny Museum is set in the grounds of a 'ruined' Norman castle, where you can enjoy a picnic during the summer and a brisk walk on colder days. Although the original castle is now largely in ruins there is still a tall stretch of curtain wall to the right of what would have been the gatehouse, originally from the 12th Century. The museum is housed in a former 19th Century hunting lodge built by the Marquess of Abergavenny within the walls of the castle. The museum has five permanent displays which tell the story of this historic market town from prehistory through to the present day.
