Book excerpt: Excerpt from Old English History for Children With regard to the spelling of old-english names, I must plead guilty to a certain amount of inconsistency. My own feeling is in favour of always using the genuine spelling of the old names rather than the common Latin and French corruptions. But I find that many people are in a manner frightened at the unusual form which is thus given to names still in common use. I have therefore, somewhat at the ex pense of consistency, left some of the more common names, such as Alfred, Edward, and Edith, in their modern spelling; while other names which are less familiar to modern readers, and which often have no One generally received modern shape, I have left in their ancient form. On the subject of old-english names and on one or two points connected with the old-english language I have added a few remarks at the end of this Preface.

Purchasers can usually download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed. Not illustrated. 1849 edition. Excerpt: ... history of england. chapter I. (From A.c. 50 to A.d. 870.) You have often, I dare say, wished to know something about the history of this beautiful island, in which we live. You have wondered who reigned over it before our present Queen, whom God long preserve, or her father or grandfather were born: what sort of people lived in it a thousand years ago; and how the Church was first founded, and the Government became what it is at this day. I intend telling you, in the following little book, something of all this. I shall not be able to give you a long account of any one part of English history, because I have much to say, and only a little space in which to say it. For the same reason I must leave out many interesting stories, which, as you grow up, you will read in larger histories. But if you attend carefully, I think I shall be able to give you some knowledge of what has happened in this land in the times which have long passed away; and more especially of the noble works which God wrought in the days of our fathers, and in the old times before them. At the timewhen we first hear anything of England, or as it was then called, Britain, which is about fifty years before the birth of our Saviour, it was possessed by a very brave but fierce race of savages. They painted themselves, to make their enemies afraid of them; in battle they used war chariots, with scythes fastened to the wheels: and though divided into a great number of little states, each governed by its own king, in time of danger they chose one chief, who managed the affairs of the whole nation. As to their religion, they were idolaters, worshipping images of wood and stone: but what was most remarkable was the great reverence they paid to their Priests, who were called...

Download or read book British Hymn Books for Children 1800 1900 written by Dr Alisa Clapp-Itnyre and published by Ashgate Publishing, Ltd.. This book was released on 2016-01-28 with total page 520 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Examining nineteenth-century British hymns for children, Alisa Clapp-Itnyre argues that the unique qualities of children's hymnody created a space for children's empowerment. Unlike other literature of the era, hymn books were often compilations of many writers' hymns, presenting the discerning child with a multitude of perspectives on religion and childhood. In addition, the agency afforded children as singers meant that they were actively engaged with the text, music, and pictures of their hymnals. Clapp-Itnyre charts the history of children’s hymn-book publications from early to late nineteenth century, considering major denominational movements, the importance of musical tonality as it affected the popularity of hymns to both adults and children, and children’s reformation of adult society provided by such genres as missionary and temperance hymns. While hymn books appear to distinguish 'the child' from 'the adult', intricate issues of theology and poetry - typically kept within the domain of adulthood - were purposely conveyed to those of younger years and comprehension. Ultimately, Clapp-Itnyre shows how children's hymns complicate our understanding of the child-adult binary traditionally seen to be a hallmark of Victorian society. Intersecting with major aesthetic movements of the period, from the peaking of Victorian hymnody to the Golden Age of Illustration, children’s hymn books require scholarly attention to deepen our understanding of the complex aesthetic network for children and adults. Informed by extensive archival research, British Hymn Books for Children, 1800-1900 brings this understudied genre of Victorian culture to critical light.

Download or read book Telling Tales written by David Blamires and published by Open Book Publishers. This book was released on 2009 with total page 476 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Germany has had a profound influence on English stories for children. The Brothers Grimm, The Swiss Family Robinson and Johanna Spyri's Heidi quickly became classics but, as David Blamires clearly articulates in this volume, many other works have been fundamental in the development of English chilren's stories during the 19th Centuary and beyond. Telling Tales is the first comprehensive study of the impact of Germany on English children's books, covering the period from 1780 to the First World War. Beginning with The Adventures of Baron Munchausen, moving through the classics and including many other collections of fairytales and legends (Musaus, Wilhelm Hauff, Bechstein, Brentano) Telling Tales covers a wealth of translated and adapted material in a large variety of forms, and pays detailed attention to the problems of translation and adaptation of texts for children. In addition, Telling Tales considers educational works (Campe and Salzmann), moral and religious tales (Carove, Schmid and Barth), historical tales, adventure stories and picture books (including Wilhelm Busch's Max and Moritz) together with an analysis of what British children learnt through textbooks about Germany as a country and its variegated history, particularly in times of war.
