Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from An Analysis of the History of Wales Any attempt at writing an Analysis of the History of Wales involves the initial difficulty that there exists no comprehensive history on which it may be based. A few admirable Short Histories have appeared in recent years, but they are obviously inadequate for the purpose. Much has also been written on various aspects of Welsh History, but it necessarily lacks the unity of a complete work. This Analysis could not, therefore, be based on any one historical work. Still, despite the frag mentary character of its origin, an attempt has been made to give it the unity and continuity of a complete history.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Bible in Wales: A Study in the History of the Welsh People, With an Introductory Address and a Bibliography It should be noted that the Bibliography was printed first, although it appears last in the volume. In a few cases fuller information has led to the modification or the discarding of some of the notes in the Bibliography. When, therefore, there is a divergence between the facts as stated in the historical essay and in the Bibliography, the former represents the revised position. So many willing helpers have contributed to the production of this work that it is impossible to enumerate all. I am grateful, and assure them that I am fully sensible of the fact that without their help this book could not have existed. To Sir John Williams, Bart.; Mr. J. H. Davies, m.a., of etmawr; Mr. Henry Blackwell, of New York; Mr. H. F. Moule, m.a., Librarian of the British and Foreign Bible Society's Library; and the Rev. Thomas Shankland, Welsh Librarian of Bangor University College, my thanks are especially due for valuable help continuously given, and to the Cardiff Libraries Committee for the generous way in which they have encouraged every step. The materials for the Bibliography were collated and arranged by Mr. James Iiano Jones, Chief Assistant in the Reference Library. I am responsible for the historical survey. I am fully aware that in this attempt to bring into order the Bibliography of the Welsh Bible there are omissions and possibly errors. A note of any additions or corrections will at all times be welcome. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Welsh Shires: A Study in Constitutional History The Oldest Of the exclusively Welsh shires Of to-day are the result Of the Norman conquest Of South Wales in the reigns Of William Rufus and Henry I. A swarm of Norman warriors, greedy for adventure, plunder, and conquest, poured themselves Over the borders, and, after a desperate struggle, got into their possession nearly all that was worth getting in Southern and Eastern Wales. They had little connexion with the king, and fought primarily for their own hands; but when they had conquered a district they were content to hold it as a fief Of the English crown, provided that they were allowed to exercise within' its'limits a jurisdiction hardly less than regal over their subjects. These lordships Marcher, or Border lordships, were very numerous, and were organised much on the model Of similar feudal lordships in England. Such were the lordships Of Grower, of Brecon, Of Montgomery, of Bromfield, of Denbigh-land, and of Chirk. But among the series, two Marcher states were so large and so important as to be organised upon the same lines as an English county. These were the earldom of Pembroke and the lordship of Glamorgan.

Download or read book Wales Her Origins Struggles and Later History Institutions and Manners Classic Reprint written by Gilbert Stone and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2015-07-06 with total page 624 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Wales Her Origins Struggles and Later History Institutions and Manners On no historical subject is the modern mind, saturated as it is with a superficial philosophy of Imperialism, so apt to go astray, and with dire consequences, as on the question of nationality. Sometimes the term 'nation' is used even by statesmen and philosophers with a mere territorial or geographical significance, and made to include such widely divergent and utterly unrelated phenomena as, for instance, the Tyrolese and the Germans; at other times it is used synonymously with the much more modem and artificial term 'state.' The reason for this confusion is obvious. A nation, like most of the simple and elemental things of our experience, does not readily admit of definition, although the phenomenon itself is perfectly easy to recognize. When we take into consideration the nations of the West as we know them to-day, in a more or less complex state of development, we find it almost impossible to discover anything in the nature of a common denominator, a deciding characteristic for all of them. A common racial origin, a distinct language, political independence, peculiar and definite customs and traditions, a homeland with an unbroken and independent history, religious affinity, military unity, have all of them been suggested as distinguishing characteristics, but on application to concrete instances all of them fail. A modern poet came nearer the truth than all the philosophers when he said that "a community of memories and of hopes" is the common characteristic of all nations, but even this loose and spiritual definition requires, if not modification, at least restatement.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The History of Wales: Written Originally in British But as soon as the Roman legion was transported into Gaul, the Picts and Scots returned, and having by a de sperate assault passed the wall, pursued the Britons with a more dreadful and bloody slaughter than formerly. The Britons, perceiving their condition most desperate, once more sent their miserable complaints to Etius, in these tragical words: To zetius, thrice consul, the groans of the Britons the barbarians drive us to the sea, and the sea drives us back to them, and so, distracted betwixt two deaths, we are either drowned or erish by the swordf But they solicited to no purpose: tife Romans having al ready bid absolutely farewell to Britain, and the empire being cruelly oppressed by the Goths and other barbarous nations, they were not in a condition possibly to assist them. The Britons, therefore, finding themselves absolutely for saken by the Romans, and conceiving it utterly impracticable to drive away the barbarians by their own strength, saw it urgently necessary to call in the aid of some foreign nation, whose labour in repelling their enemies should be gratefully and satisfactorily rewarded.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Philosophy of Welsh History This work does not pretend in any sense to be a history of Wales, or to give any consecutive narrative of all the movements that have affected the fortunes of the Principality. It differs in many important respects from a regular history. It was rather to dwell upon the dramatic phases of historical events and upon the religious and sociological phenomena, and to concern itself but slightly with the growth of Welsh institutions as such, that it was written. Not much account has, therefore, been taken of proportion. So much has been said and written of late years respecting the rapid advance of Wales in population, in commerce, in education, in the facilities for education, in political ambition, and in her progress towards selfgovernment, that I have deemed it of interest and of importance, not merely to Welshmen, but to other sections of the United Kingdom, to discuss the problem or problems involved in this development, and to endeavour to furnish an adequate account of the causes which have led up to the changes that have taken place. The question presents grounds for a reconsideration of many of the conclusions formed by Welsh nationalist historians, and of the whole lines of argument hitherto adopted by them. Their deductions are, I contend, without justification. In other words, their synthesis or the traditional formulas by which they have sought to explain the forces that have operated in the evolution of Welsh national life, have been based upon false facts and false inferences.

Download or read book The Welsh Language written by Janet Davies and published by University of Wales Press. This book was released on 2014-01-15 with total page 224 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The existence of the Welsh-language can come as a surprise to those who assume that English is the foundation language of Britain. However, J. R. R. Tolkien described Welsh as the 'senior language of the men of Britain'. Visitors from outside Wales may be intrigued by the existence of Welsh and will want to find out how a language which has, for at least fifteen hundred years, been the closest neighbour of English, enjoys such vibrancy, bearing in mind that English has obliterated languages thousands of miles from the coasts of England. This book offers a broad historical survey of Welsh-language culture from sixth-century heroic poetry to television and pop culture in the early twenty-first century. The public status of the language is considered and the role of Welsh is compared with the roles of other of the non-state languages of Europe. This new edition of The Welsh Language offers a full assessment of the implications of the linguistic statistics produced by the 2011 Census. The volume contains maps and plans showing the demographic and geographic spread of Welsh over the ages, charts examining the links between words in Welsh and those in other Indo-European languages, and illustrations of key publications and figures in the history of the language. It concludes with brief guides to the pronunciation, the dialects and the grammar of Welsh.
