Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Critical History of the Celtic Religion, and Learning: Containing an Account of the Druids; Or the Priests and Judges John Toland was born on the 30th November, 1670, in the most northern Peninsula in Ireland, on the Isthmus whereof stands Londonderry. That Peninsula was originally called Inis-Eogan, or Inis-Eogain, but is now called Enis-Owen. Toland had the name of Janus Junius given him at the font, and was called by that name in the school roll every morning; but the other boys making a jest of it, the master ordered him to be called John, which name he kept ever after. Mr. Toland, as far as now can be collected, was the son of a Popish Priest; and, he hath been abused by Abbot Tilladet, Bishop Huetius and others, on the ground of his alleged illegitimacy: which, were it true, is a most base and ridiculous reproach; the child, in such a case, being entirely innocent of the guilt of his parents.

THE FIRST LETTER, TO THE RIGHT HONOURABLE THE LORD VISCOUNT MOLESWORTH..OOME men, my Lord, from a natural greatness of!soul, and others from a sense of the want of learning in themselves, or the advantages of it in others, have snany times liberally contributed towards the advancement of letters. But when they, whose excellent natural parts are richly cultivated by sound literature, undertake the protection of the Muses, writers feel a double encouragement; both as they are happily enabled to perfect 'their studies, and as their Patrons are true judges of their performances. 'Tis from this consideration alone (abstracted, My Lord, from all that you have already done, or may hereafter deserve from your country, by an unshaken love-of liberty) that I presume to acquaint your Lordship with a design, .which I form'd several years ago at Oxford, and which I have ever since kept m view; collecting, as occasion presented, whatever might any way tend to the advantage or perfection of it. 'Tis to write the History of the Druids, containing an account of the ancient Celtic Religion and Literature; and concerning which I beg your patience for a little while. Th' this be subject, that will be naturally entertaining to the curi ous in every place; yet it does more particularly concern the inhabitants of antient Gaule, (now France, Flanders, the Alpine regions, and Lorabardy) and of all the British Islands, whose antiquities are here partly explain'd and illustrated, partly vindicated and restor'd. It will sound somewhat oddly, at first hearing, that a man born in the most northern (1) Peninsula (1) This peninsula is Inis-Eogain, vulgarly Enis-otcen, in whose Isthmus stands the Gity of Londonderry, itself a peninsula, and, if the tradition...

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A moving tragedy of political intrigue and family strife, William Shakespeare's King Lear is edited by George Hunter, with an introduction by Kiernan Ryan in Penguin Shakespeare. 'How sharper than a serpent's tooth it is to have a thankless child ' The ageing King Lear, tired of office, decides to split his kingdom between his three daughters, Goneril, Regan and Cordelia; but the decision to allot their share based on the love they express for him proves to be a terrible mistake. When Cordelia refuses to take part in her father's charade, she is banished, leaving the king dependent on her manipulative and untrustworthy sisters. In the scheming and recriminations that follow, not only does the king's own sanity crumble, but the stability of the realm itself is also threatened. Cast out into the wilderness with a wise Fool and a cunning madman, it is only after losing what he values most that Lear understands the depth of his folly. This book contains a general introduction to Shakespeare's life and Elizabethan theatre, a separate introduction to King Lear, a chronology, suggestions for further reading, an essay discussing performance options on both stage and screen, and a commentary. William Shakespeare (1564-1616) was born to John Shakespeare and Mary Arden some time in late April 1564 in Stratford-upon-Avon. He wrote about 38 plays (the precise number is uncertain), many of which are regarded as the most exceptional works of drama ever produced, including Romeo and Juliet (1595), Henry V (1599), Hamlet (1601), Othello (1604), King Lear (1606) and Macbeth (1606), as well as a collection of 154 sonnets, which number among the most profound and influential love-poetry in English. If you enjoyed King Lear, you might like Othello, also available in Penguin Shakespeare. 'The themes of love and loss, the futility of ambition, the pains of parenthood and the rewards of patience are treated with a magic touch' Ian Richardson

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Scant records remain of the ancient Celtic religion beyond some eleventh- and twelfth-century written material from the Irish Celts and the great Welsh document Mabinogion. This classic study by a distinguished scholar, builds not only upon the surviving texts but also upon folk customs derived from the rituals of the old cults. A masterly and extremely readable survey, it offers a reconstruction of the essentials of Celtic paganism: fascinating glimpses into primitive forms of worship involving rites centered on rivers and wells, trees and plants, and animals; and examinations of evidence from Celtic burial mounds to explore beliefs and customs related to the culture of the dead, including rites of rebirth and transmigration.
