Its aim is to contribute to the renewal of research on the medieval period by means of the following features: • Understanding medieval society in a global and overarching way, beyond current academic divisions, by publishing unedited research articles covering different fields within Medieval Studies. • The journal departs from the premise that research, in the current context, will benefit from unpublished contributions based on the study of diverse sources (to which is dedicated the section “The past studied and measured”, with nine articles per issue); an ongoing analysis of methodologies, methods, and historiographical tendencies (to which is dedicated the section “The past interrogated and unmasked”, with four articles per issue); and a continually updated reflection on the ways and forms of scientific dissemination and knowledge transfer to society (to which is dedicated the section “The past explained and recreated”, with two articles per issue). • In order to ensure that a rigorous level of quality is maintained, all articles submitted for consideration are subject to blind peer review by at least two leading experts who are not part of the editorial board of the journal. If necessary, dialogue will be established with the authors, and the editorial board will make sure that no article is accepted for publication until it meets the qualitative requirements specified by the referees. • In any case, no text keeping elements from plagiarism or fraud, even partial, will be accepted. The journal will use the technical and human resources to warn and prevent these situations. • The journal puts great emphasis on a global approach and, consequently, on the promotion of internationalisation. In order to maintain a geographical balance we seek to ensure that no more than half of the articles published in any issue proceed from the same country. • To facilitate the journal's internationalisation, English has been chosen as the common academic language. All articles are therefore published in English. If an article was originally written in another language and subsequently translated into English, the journal will publish, as well as the English version, also the original version of the text (set apart in an appendix), if requested by the author. This will ensure maximum accuracy of the original text and the language employed. • All articles are accompanied by an abstract and keywords. In order to reflect the lingua franca of both the present and the period under consideration, all keywords are published in two languages, English and Latin. • The journal is published once annually within the corresponding year of each issue. It is published simultaneously in paper and electronically in free access. • In order to promote the dissemination of the published articles, the editors of the journal pledge to endeavour continually to enhance the journal's visibility in data bases, indexations and quality assessment bodies. In each issue of the journal we will specify which of those indicators are guaranteed to reference the journal and the articles published in it. • The editorial board, which consists of members of the Research Group that endorses the journal, together with external scholars, is responsible for the accomplishment of the journal's objectives and qualitative standards. The scientific board, which consists of outstanding foreign scholars, ensures that the journal maintains the highest academic standard in all aspects at all times. The members of this committee are exchanged periodically, so that no member forms part of the board for more than ten issues. Imago Temporis.

  • ROBERT GERAINT GRUFFYDD Robert Geraint Gruffydd 1928–2015
    ROBERT GERAINT GRUFFYDD Robert Geraint Gruffydd 1928–2015 GERAINT GRUFFYDD RESEARCHED IN EVERY PERIOD—the whole gamut—of Welsh literature, and he published important contributions on its com- plete panorama from the sixth to the twentieth century. He himself spe- cialised in two periods in particular—the medieval ‘Poets of the Princes’ and the Renaissance. But in tandem with that concentration, he was renowned for his unique mastery of detail in all other parts of the spec- trum. This, for many acquainted with his work, was his paramount excel- lence, and reflected the uniqueness of his career. Geraint Gruffydd was born on 9 June 1928 on a farm named Egryn in Tal-y-bont, Meirionnydd, the second child of Moses and Ceridwen Griffith. According to Peter Smith’sHouses of the Welsh Countryside (London, 1975), Egryn dated back to the fifteenth century. But its founda- tions were dated in David Williams’s Atlas of Cistercian Lands in Wales (Cardiff, 1990) as early as 1391. In the eighteenth century, the house had been something of a centre of culture in Meirionnydd where ‘the sound of harp music and interludes were played’, with ‘the drinking of mead and the singing of ancient song’, according to the scholar William Owen-Pughe who lived there. Owen- Pughe’s name in his time was among the most famous in Welsh culture. An important lexicographer, his dictionary left its influence heavily, even notoriously, on the development of nineteenth-century literature. And it is strangely coincidental that in the twentieth century, in his home, was born and bred for a while a major Welsh literary scholar, superior to him by far in his achievement, who too, for his first professional activity, had started his career as a lexicographer.

  • THE INTERACTION BETWEEN LANDSCAPE and MYTH in the NOVELS of JOHN COWPER POWYS by GWYNETH F. MILES MA Bryn Mawr College, 196?
    c . \ THE INTERACTION BETWEEN LANDSCAPE AND MYTH IN THE NOVELS OF JOHN COWPER POWYS by GWYNETH F. MILES M.A. Bryn Mawr College, 196? A THESIS SUBMITTED IN PARTIAL FULFILMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY in the Department of English We accept this thesis as conforming to the required standard THE UNIVERSITY OF BRITISH COLUMBIA September, 1973 In presenting this thesis in partial fulfilment of the requirements for an advanced degree at the University of British Columbia, I agree that the Library shall make it freely available for reference and study. I further agree that permission for extensive copying of this thesis for scholarly purposes may be granted by the Head of my Department or by his representatives. It is understood that copying or publication of this thesis for financial gain shall not be allowed without my written permission. Department The University of British Columbia Vancouver 8, Canada i Abstract Powys' novels are deeply rooted in a sense of place; much of their conflict develops through the effect of a particular locality upon the characters who live there or come there. This thesis demonstrates how Powys' sense of place is com• pounded of both a feeling for the physical landscape, and an awareness of the historical and mythical traditions which form its human past. Powys finds correspondences between the scenery and legends of a locality and the psychological states of his personae, and thus uses landscape and myth for symbolic purposes. The interaction of myth and landscape largely creates the characteristic atmosphere of the five novels studied here.

  • The Centre and Its Medieval Projects Ann Parry Owen University of Wales Centre for Advanced Welsh and Celtic Studies
    Introduction: The Centre and its Medieval Projects Ann Parry Owen University of Wales Centre for Advanced Welsh and Celtic Studies The establishment of a Centre for Welsh and Celtic Studies in Aberystwyth, similar to the Dublin Institute for Advanced Studies, the Institute of Cornish Studies in Cornwall, the School of Scottish Studies in Edinburgh and the Centre de Recherche Bretonne et Celtique in Brest, was the realisation of the dream of five eminent Welsh scholars, namely Thomas Jones, G. J. Williams, Elwyn Davies, T. H. Parry-Williams and J. E. Caerwyn Williams. This dream gained momentum in the mid-1970s following T. H. Parry-Williams’s decision to bequeath his library to such an institution, and the University College of Wales, Aberystwyth, provided a room within the Welsh Department in the Old College on the seafront. The Centre was given the grand name ‘Y Ganolfan Uwchefrydiau Cymreig a Cheltaidd: Centre for Advanced Welsh and Celtic Studies’ and the newly retired Professor of Irish, J. E. Caerwyn Williams, was appointed honorary Director. Professor Williams was an eminent Celtic scholar with an interest in all aspects of the Celtic languages of all periods. His interest in Breton led him to translate a number of modern Breton literary works into Welsh. I was a first-year Ph.D. student working in the Centre’s library in 1984 when Professor Williams returned early from lunch one day and asked whether I was willing to have my photograph taken for a newspaper article: I agreed without realising the significance of the occasion for my own future.

William Shakespeare, Henry V , 3rd Arden ed., ed. T. W. Craig (London: Routledge, 1995), IV:7, lines 94–118. 3 .

Lloyd, “Speak It in Welsh”: Wales and the Welsh Language in Shakespeare (Blue Ridge Summit, PA: Lexington Books, 2008). 5 . Even the subversive force of Fluellen’s unfavorable comparison of Henry to Alexander the Great is humorously undercut by the Welshman’s insis- tence on the Hellenistic conqueror’s epithet: the “pig.” See Shakespeare, Henry V , IV: vii; David Quint, “ ‘Alexander the Pig’: Shakespeare on History and Poetry,” boundary 2 10 (1982): 49–67, and esp. 60, shows persuasively how Fluellen’s attempts at historical analysis and panegyric undercut themselves, rendering him ludicrous. For a larger discussion of the representation of the Welsh in Elizabethan texts, see Peter Roberts, “Tudor Wales, National Identity, and the British Inheritance,” in British Consciousness and Identity: The Making of Britain, 1536–1707 , ed.

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.

  • 13 Barry Lewis
    13 ARTHURIAN REFERENCES IN MEDIEVAL WELSH POETRY, c. 1100–c. 1540 Barry Lewis Ail Arthur, modur mydr orfoledd, Ail Gwalchmai, difai, difefl fonedd, Peredur lafnddur, mur marannedd. (A second Arthur, a lord praised in verse, A second Gwalchmai, faultless, his nobility without stain, A Peredur with a steel blade, a rampart guarding riches.)1 None of the texts that are the subject of this chapter belongs to Arthurian literature. The handful of medieval Welsh poems that might be placed in that problematic category have already been discussed in earlier chapters. All are anonymous and were composed in obscure circumstances. By contrast, we know exactly who was the author of the poem from which the lines above have been taken. He was a priest, poet and grammarian known as Einion Offeiriad, who died in 1349.2 We know too the identity of the ‘second Arthur’ whom he praised: Rhys ap Gruffudd, a powerful figure in south-west Wales in the first half of the fourteenth century. Unlike such poems as ‘Pa gur?’ or Preiddeu Annwn, Einion Offeiriad’s address to his patron distances itself from any narrative world attached to the name of Arthur. Its milieu is a contemporary one, and if it looks back to an Arthurian age, it does so merely as an ideal against which the men and women of its own day are to be measured. Yet, like the hundreds of other Welsh poems that contain similar references, it provides us with precious evidence for what the Arthurian narrative meant to poets and patrons in 314 high and late medieval Wales.

  • I Am No Frivolous Minstrel”: the Welsh Bards and King Edward I
    "I AM NO FRIVOLOUS MINSTREL”: THE WELSH BARDS AND KING EDWARD I A Thesis submitted to the Faculty of The School of Continuing Studies and of The Graduate School of Arts and Sciences in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts in Liberal Studies By Diane Ney, B.S. Georgetown University Washington, D.C. April 1, 2014 Copyright 2014 by Diane Ney All Rights Reserved ii “I AM NO FRIVOLOUS MINSTREL”: THE WELSH BARDS AND KING EDWARD I Diane Ney, B. S. Mentor: Stefan Zimmers, Ph.D. ABSTRACT After his military and economic defeat of the Welsh in 1282, King Edward I of England realized the most effective means of controlling Wales was by undermining the efficacy of its culture. This thesis argues the definitive role of the Welsh bardic tradition in the historical context of Edward’s understanding that cultural domination was as vital to the total sublimation of the Welsh as were their military and economic defeats. While many historians have examined Edward’s military and economic campaigns against the Welsh, few have concentrated on his understanding that dominating thirteenth-century Welsh cultural coherence was Edward’s most important methodology. iii ACKNOWLEDGMENTS The research and writing of this thesis would not have been possible without the exceptional support, patience, and guidance of Anne Ridder, Dr. Richard Hewlett, and most especially my thesis mentor, Dr. Stefan Zimmers. iv TABLE OF CONTENTS COPYRIGHT…………………………………………………………………………...ii ABSTRACT…………………………………………………………………………….iii ACKNOWLEDGMENTS ……………………………………………………………..iv
