  • Chapter V Educational Provision in Wales Part
    CHAPTER V EDUCATIONAL PROVISION IN WALES PART (i) : SCHOOLS In medieval Wales it was the Church which assumed the greatest responsibility for schooling, bardic schools and possibly the households of the Welsh lords being also centres of learning. The English universities, and to a lesser extent, the continental universities and the inns of court, provided further or higher 1 education for the ablest talents of Wales. In England, by the late fifteenth and early sixteenth centuries, lay involvement in educati4n increased, as the needs of the Crown, the aristocracy and the towns expanded, and this was also faintly apparent in as scattered and 2 rural a society as Wales. The revival of classical learning emphasised anew the educational qualities required of administrators and all useful members of the state and which were also to be expected of gentlemen. At a time of social change, in Wales as in England, education became a 3 means of asserting and of reinforcing social distinctions. Neither the schools nor the universities were particularly suited 4 to the task of preparing young gentlemen. The newer grammar schools tried tEadapt, and there were a few signs that the universities and the inns of court, though still largely institutions of professional instruction, made some concessions towards providing a more general and 5 popular education. The essential conservatism of these places meant 6 that they were not in the van of intellectual progress. Rather, they were places for disseminating received and accepted truths intermixed with north European humanism and religious ideology, giving force to 333. 7 the ideal of wise and moral service and leadership.

  • 2020: Year of Anniversaries Mari James, Library Development Officer, St Davids Cathedral St Davids Historical Society, May 2020
    1 2020: Year of Anniversaries Mari James, Library Development Officer, St Davids Cathedral St Davids Historical Society, May 2020 When the subject of this Talk was agreed, it was intended to focus on key events and developments of the past of which 2020 was going to be an opportunity to commemorate as an anniversary. The two main ones being 1920 and the Establishment of the disestablished Church in Wales, and 1620 and the production of the first widely distributed Bible in Welsh, which was partly translated in St Davids. And not forgetting, of course, the 25th anniversary of the St Davids Historical Society itself. These major events of the past are all times when a Rubicon was crossed, when a fundamental change was made that could not be reversed. I must congratulate the Society that you have selected a year which will itself become one of those Rubicon years. All of us will remember where we were in 2020, what we did, how it felt. Talks will be given in future on “The Anniversary of 2020”. And I must also congratulate the Society in particular that you got your own celebrations of your 25th anniversary in before the world closed down! 1620 – Beibl Bishop Parry 1620 was a turbulent year. Elizabeth I had died in 1603, ending an eventful 45 year reign and being the last of the five Tudor monarchs. She was succeeded by James VI of Scotland, son of Elizabeth’s arch enemy Mary Queen of Scots. James become James I of England (and of Wales). During the Protestant Reformation, and the increasing distancing of church operations from the Roman Catholic church throughout Europe, a key element was having the facility to be able to hear and read the Bible in your own language: in the vulgate.

The Role and Impact of the Welsh Bible and submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts (Translation Studies) complies with the regulations of the University and meets the accepted standards with respect to originality and quality. Signed by the final Examining Committee: _______________________________ Chair Christine York _______________________________ External Examiner Shannon McSheffrey _______________________________ Internal Examiner Paul F. Bandia _______________________________ Supervisor Judith Woodsworth Approved by ________________________________________________________ Chair of Department or Graduate Program Director March 2018 __________________________________________ Dean of Faculty Saviour of the Language? iii Abstract Although translation played a critical role in the survival of the Welsh language, Wales has been sorely underrepresented in the field of translation studies. The publication of the 1588 Welsh Bible, the result of a political gamble by Elizabeth I, was a turning point in the survival of the Welsh vernacular. At a time when Welsh was banned from use in public life, the Welsh Bible played a fundamental part in the development of Welsh language and culture. In assessing the cultural, political, and religious reverberations of the Welsh Bible, we espouse an approach similar to those of Delisle and Woodsworth, and Berman, taking into consideration the importance of the socio-political context in which a translation occurs.

David Haynes was surprised to learn, when he arrived in St Davids, that Ysgol Dewi Sant wasn’t a church school already, given the central role the cathe- dral plays in the city and the links from cradle to college between church and education that date back to the 12th century.

Those involved have worked to build a bridge between two different worlds, between life in tents on the edge of a devastated homeland and life here, in Welsh communities, bounded by sea and farmland. As a Lay Reader I am used to bridge-building, but not on this scale. In the spring of 2016 I was asked “You go into school, could you be our link?” The request came from a lead worker in a growing resettlement team and so began my involvement in the ground-break- ing UK Community Sponsorship Scheme which has spread across Pembrokeshire and Ceredigion.

  • The Spoken Word
    ‘This is a well-assembled volume. All of the contributions come from scholars writing at their best and are well aimed at the overall theme.’ Professor Ronald Hutton, University of Bristol The The spoken word The early modern period was of great significance throughout Europe with respect to its gradual transition from a largely oral to a fundamentally literate society. On the one hand, the spoken word remained of the utmost importance RAL CULTURE IN RITAIN to the dissemination of ideas, the communication of information and the O B , transmission of the cultural repertoire. On the other hand, the proliferation of spoken word written documents of all kinds, the development of printing and the spread of 1500-1850 popular literacy combined to transform the nature of communication. Studies previous to this have traditionally focused on individual countries or regions, and emphasised the contradictions between oral and literate culture.The essays in this fascinating collection depart from these approaches in several ways. By examining not only English, but also Scottish and Welsh oral culture, they provide the first pan-British study of the subject.The authors also emphasise the ways in which oral and literate culture continued to complement and inform each other, rather than focusing exclusively on their incompatibility, or on the 'inevitable' triumph of the written word. The chronological focus, ranging from the sixteenth to the mid-nineteenth century, with glances ahead to the twentieth, set the problem against a longer chronological span than most other studies, providing a link between early modern and modern oral and literate cultures.
