  • Ireland: an Island of Cultural Variety
    1 INTRODUCTION IRELAND: AN ISLAND OF CULTURAL VARIETY Throughout its history, Ulster, the northern province of Ireland, has been a place where many different peoples have left their influence. In the last millennium Vikings, Anglo-Normans, Huguenots, Moravians, Italians, Jews and many others have settled here. The strongest cultural influences, however, have been English, Irish and Scottish, a triple blend that has given Ulster its distinctive character. At the narrowest part, only 13 miles separate Ulster – Ireland’s northern province – and Scotland. The sea has been a bridge rather than a barrier. Almost 2 million people make the crossing by ferry every year. THREE NAMES FOR THE SAME PEOPLE Ulster-Scots, Scotch-Irish and Scots-Irish are three names for a people whose origins can be traced to Scotland. In Ulster, where they settled in large numbers in the 1600s, they are known as the Ulster-Scots. In America, they are known as the Scotch-Irish or Scots-Irish. All three terms have a long pedigree – the earliest recorded use of ‘Scotch-Irish’ can be found in Maryland in 1690. THE SCOTCH-IRISH AND AMERICA Over the centuries Scotch-Irish families have travelled to every corner of the globe in search of new lives and new opportunities. In the United States their influence has been huge and their legacy includes pioneers, presidents, military commanders, religious leaders, educators, philanthropists Only two names appear on the printed Declaration of Independence. and giants of industry and commerce. John Hancock is thought to have had County Down ancestry, while Charles Thomson was born in County Londonderry.

THE Hamiltons, so far as trustworthy evidence goes, cannot equal in descent either the Stewarts or Douglases, their history beginning about two hundred years later than that of the former, and one hundred years later than that of the latter ; still their antiquity is considerable. In the introduction to the first chapter I have dealt with the suggested earlier origin of the family. The Hamiltons were conspicuous in their loyalty to Queen Mary, and, judging by the number of marriages between members of the different branches, they were also loyal to their race. Throughout their history one hears little of the violent deeds which charac- terised the Stewarts and Douglases, and one may truthfully say the race has generally been a peaceful one.

  • A Society in Transition: the Protestant Community in Tyrone 1836-42 Daragh Emmett Curran Thesis for the Degree of Ph.D Departmen
    A SOCIETY IN TRANSITION: THE PROTESTANT COMMUNITY IN TYRONE 1836-42 DARAGH EMMETT CURRAN THESIS FOR THE DEGREE OF PH.D DEPARTMENT OF HISTORY NATIONAL UNIVERSITY OF IRELAND MAYNOOTH SUPERVISOR OF RESEARCH: PROFESSOR RAYMOND GILLESPIE SEPTEMBER, 2010 A society in transition: The Protestant community of County Tyrone 1836-42. Daragh Emmett Curran This thesis deals with the transition that was taking place in Protestant society in the immediate pre-famine period in County Tyrone. It explores how this community, at all social levels, reacted to the changes that were occurring and which were considered detrimental to its position of dominance in society. These changes had the potential to dramatically affect the traditional paternalistic relationship that bound the lower classes to their social betters and this study examines how this relationship survived through economic recession, changes in law and order, increasing concessions being granted to Catholics, lessening government support for the Protestant Church, and the suppression of the dominant Protestant association of the time- the Orange Order. The Order played an integral part in the lives of many Protestants and was an organization that transcended the class divide. Because of this, it becomes the pivot around which this work revolves as the Order, with its wide-stretching network, helped maintain the patriarchal relationship that bound the classes together. It is also a useful tool through which to examine attitudes towards law and order within the Protestant community as changes within this area, especially within the magistracy, affected the upper classes, the very people that the lower classes looked to for guidance.

  • Interlinguistic Communication in Bede's Historia Ecclesiastica
    37 This article is a post-peer review preprint of Alaric Hall, ‗Interlinguistic Communication in Bede‘s Historia ecclesiastica gentis Anglorum‘, in Interfaces between Language and Culture in Medieval England: A Festschrift for Matti Kilpiö, ed. by Alaric Hall, Agnes Kiricsi and Olga Timofeeva with Bethany Fox, The Northern World, 48 (Leiden: Brill, 2010), pp. 37–80. The pagination of this preprint is the same as that of the final publication. INTERLINGUISTIC COMMUNICATION IN BEDE‘S HISTORIA ECCLESIASTICA GENTIS ANGLORUM1 Alaric Hall University of Leeds 1. Problems and approaches The intellectual stimulus for this paper, and much of the thinking behind it, arose from my time at the University of Helsinki, first as a visiting doctoral student under Matti‘s supervision and subsequently as his colleague. The University of Helsinki is officially bilingual between Finnish and Swedish, while for my close colleagues most speaking, writing and reading of a professional nature was conducted in a third language, English. For me to enter this situation as a scholar interested in medieval multilingualism, whose personal background was in a monoglot segment of British culture and an indefatigably monoglot education system, was enormously mind-opening. And no-one provided a warmer welcome to my research on—or to my own aspirations to—multilingualism than Matti. For Britain, the period from the fifth century to the eighth was crucial to the rise of English and Gaelic at the expense of the p-Celtic dialects (the ancestors of Welsh, Cornish, Cumbric and Pictish) which had been dominant a few centuries before. It is also traditionally assumed to be the time when British Latin, another competitor to p-Celtic which had taken root while Britain was under Roman rule, died as a vernacular language; nevertheless, Latin emerged from the period 1 The latter period was at the Helsinki Collegium for Advanced Studies, under whose aegis much of the research for this paper was undertaken.

It has been subject to longstanding traffic problems south of the bridge over the East Coast Main Line (ECML) due to a combination of traffic volumes and parking, resulting in traffic congestion, damage to parked vehicles and instances of anti-social behaviour from drivers. 2.2 This report highlights the options that have been considered to improve this situation and the possible impacts of each intervention, presents the findings of a recent and previous consultation on proposed changes and makes a recommendation to progress with an Experimental Traffic Regulation Order (ETRO) for the area.

  • The Old English Version of Bede's Ecclesiastical History of the English
    THE OLD ENGLISH VERSION OF BEDEÕS ECCLESIASTICAL HISTORY OF THE ENGLISH PEOPLE translated by Thomas Miller In parentheses Publications Old English Series Cambridge, Ontario 1999 PREFACE. I, Bede, servant of Christ and priest, send greeting to the well beloved king Ceolwulf. And I send you the history, which I lately wrote about the Angles and Saxons, for yourself to read and examine at leisure, and also to copy out and impart to others more at large; and I have confidence in your zeal, because you are very diligent and inquisitive as to the sayings and doings of men of old, and above all of the famous men among our people. For this book either speaks good of the good, and the hearer imitates that, or it speaks evil of the evil, and the hearer flees and shuns the evil. For it is good to praise the good and blame the bad, that the hearer may profit. If your hearer be reluctant, how else will he gain instruction? I have written this for your profit and for your people; as God chose you out to be king, it behoves you to instruct your people. And that there may be the less doubt whether this be true, I will state the sources of my narrative. II. My first assistant and teacher was the venerable abbot Albinus, a man who had travelled much and studied, and was the best scholar in England. He told me chiefly about Theodorus, of blessed memory, who was bishop in Canterbury, and of the abbot Adrianus, under whom he had chiefly studied.
