Download or read book Scottish Customs written by Sheila Livingstone and published by Birlinn. This book was released on 2012-12-10 with total page 318 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Customs can be well-known or obscure, old or new, yet all play an important part in society and their study rewards us with fascinating insights into our culture and history. Sheila Livingstone's wide-ranging and meticiously researched book details the customs associated with such topics as weddings and work, birth and death, childhood and courtship, health and illness, food and drink. Extracts from classic works of Scottish literature are used throughout to illustrate the subjects discussed. Customs can be traced back to the time of the Druids, Celts, or Romans, and wherever possible the origins of these ancient traditions are given.
Download or read book James Hogg written by Valentina Bold and published by Peter Lang. This book was released on 2007 with total page 384 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book sheds new light on James Hogg, the Scottish poet (1770-1835), going beyond the 'Ettrick Shepherd' stereotype. By focussing on Hogg's poetry (Scottish Pastorals, The Queen's Wake, Jacobite Relics, Queen Hynde, Pilgrims of the Sun) it shows that his work, and the critical response to it, was significantly shaped by the concept of the autodidact: a working-class writer who was considered to be a poet of 'Nature's Making'. The image of the autodidact is pursued from its beginnings - Ramsay's Gentle Shepherd, Macpherson's Ossian, Burns as 'ploughman poet' - through its development in the nineteenth century, to its last gasps in the twentieth. Poets considered include Isobel Pagan, Janet Little, William Tennant, Allan Cunningham, Robert Tannahill, Janet Hamilton, Ellen Johnston, Elizabeth Hartley, Alexander Anderson, David Gray, David Wingate and James Young Geddes. Despite facing difficulties, autodidacts produced some of the most innovative and exciting poetry of the nineteenth century. The author argues that the autodidactic tradition, exemplified by Hogg, nurtured the creative vigour manifested in twentieth-century Scottish poetry. While Scotland's autodidacts shared poetic concerns and techniques, they were characterised, above all, by diversity of poetic voice.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Macleods: A Short Sketch of Their Clan, History, Folk-Lore, Tales, and Biographical Notices of Some Eminent Clansmen This short sketch of the History and Traditions of the Clan MacLeod, for which we are indebted to the Rev. R. C. MacLeod of MacLeod, is the initial effort of the Society to give effect to one of the most important objects of its constitution, viz.: - "The collection and preservation of Records and Traditions," and "the publication of such Literature as may promote the interests of the Clan." The Rev. R. C. MacLeod probably knows more about the Clan history than any other man living. He has spent many years in a study of the subject and of the old manuscripts in which Dunvegan Castle is so rich. He has, at the present moment, a most voluminous typewritten volume compiled (which we hope he may sec his way to publish at no very distant date) and from that volume the present sketch has been principally drawn; its immediate production is mainly due to a suggestion made by Vice-Admiral Angus MacLeod, C.V.O., one of the most distinguished members of our Clan. It is intended to be followed by a series of publications dealing with subjects of interest to the MacLeods, and we hope the work, now so well begun, will meet with the cordial approval and support of the clan.

This book was released on 2016-07-19 with total page 262 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Notes on the Folk-Lore of the North-East of Scotland N the occasion of a birth there were present a few of the mother's female friends in the neighbourhood, besides the midwife. But it was not every woman that was permitted to attend. A woman with child was not allowed to be in the room and if two women with child happened to be living in the same house when the one felt the pains of labour, they took a straw, or a stalk of grass, or some such thing, and broke it, each repeating the words, Ye tak yours, an I tak mine. Neither could a woman giving suck seat herself on the edge of the bed of the lying-in woman, from the belief that such an action stopped the flow of the milk of the lying-in woman. If a woman in this condition did do so unwittingly, and the milk ceased, the lying-in mother whose milk had departed had to get secretly the child of her who had been the cause of the disappearance of the milk, and, with the aid of a friend. To pass it under and over her apron to bring back her milk. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
