Book excerpt: Excerpt from History of Monmouth and Wales About this time, serious troubles arose between the settlers and the proprietors of the Plymouth Patent, which comprised, in addition to all the land in Monmouth and Wales, a large number of the townships lying east and west of the Kennebec river. Many of the early set tlers had taken up land under the supposition that they were free and, after expending years of hard labor on them, had been forced to relinquish them to the lawful, if not rightful, owners, without remuneration for the im provement they had effected. Others who had bought out the claims of the squatters at a fair price, were called upon to pay exorbitant sums for the lands that were all but worthless before the improvements were made.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Every Inch a King: The Romance of Henry of Monmouth, Sometime Prince of Wales IT was the springtime, and France was arrayed in all her glory. The buds were swelling upon the noble trees, the early owers were peeping from the grass, and the birds were singing their sweetest songs to aid their wooing. Love was the burden of their melody, and as their notes rang out joyously in the early dawn, a young monk standing in the window of a stately castle on the coast of Normandy felt his heart throb in answer to their plea. Was not the whole world singing the same glad song? And why must he sti e it upon his lips and crush the pas sion which turned his blood to fire?

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Henry of Monmouth: Or Memoirs of the Life and Character of Henry the Fifth, Vol. 1 of 2: As Prince of Wales and King of England By the standard of truth those delineations of Henry's character which have contributed to im mortalize our great historical dramatist. The Au thor, indeed, is willing to confess that he would gladly have withdrawn from the task of assaying the substantial accuracy and soundness of Shak speare's historical and biographical views, could he have done so safely and without a compromise of principle. He would have avoided such an inquiry, not only in deference to the acknowledged rule which does not suffer a poet to be fettered by the rigid shackles of unbending facts; but from a dis inclination also to interfere, even in appearance, with the full and free enjoyment of those exquisite scenes of humour, wit, and nature, in which Henry is the-hero, and his riotous, reckless companions are subordinate in dramatical excellence only to himself. The Author may also not unwillingly grant, that (with'the majority of those who give a tone to the form and pressure of the age) Shakspeare has done more to invest the character of Henry with a never-dying interest beyond the lot of ordinary monarchs, than the bare records of historical verity, could ever have effected. Still he feels that he had no alternative. He must either have ascertained the historical worth of those scenic representations, or have suffered to remain in their full force the deep and prevalent impressions, as to Henry's principles and conduct, which owe, if not theirorigin, yet, at least, much of their universality.

Download or read book King Lucius of Britain written by David J Knight and published by The History Press. This book was released on 2011-10-24 with total page 173 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: While everyone knows the story of King Arthur, few will have heard of King Lucius, a figure who has been consigned to myth and largely forgotten in the annals of British history. Examining the primary sources as well as the archaeological evidence for this second century king, David Knight convincingly refutes the generally accepted view expounded at the beginning of the twentieth century that identifies Lucius as King Abgarus of Edessa. King Lucius of Britain reconstructs the story of this fascinating figure, who applied to the Pope for formal baptism in AD 177, making him the first Christian King in Britain, and traces the history of the story of Lucius, separating the myth from reality and attempting to restore this King to his rightful place in British history.
Download or read book The Use of Hereford written by Mr William Smith and published by Ashgate Publishing, Ltd.. This book was released on 2015-10-28 with total page 865 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Use of Hereford, a local variation of the Roman rite, was one of the diocesan liturgies of medieval England before their abolition and replacement by the Book of Common Prayer in 1549. Unlike the widespread Use of Sarum, the Use of Hereford was confined principally to its diocese, which helped to maintain its individuality until the Reformation. This study seeks to catalogue and evaluate all the known surviving sources of the Use of Hereford, with particular reference to the missals and gradual, which so far have received little attention. In addition to these a variety of other material has been examined, including a number of little-known or unknown important fragments of early Hereford service-books dismembered at the Reformation and now hidden away as binding or other scrap in libraries and record offices.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Gerald the Welshman Gerald's early education was undertaken by his uncle, David fitz-gerald, Bishop of St. David's (called by him David II., to distinguish him from the patron saint). The state Of learning in Wales in those days was at the lowest ebb: and a Rolls editor argues, from the absence Of all notice of any place of learning in Wales in all Gerald's writings, the dearth of Welsh names of literary note in that century. But there would appear to have been some incitements to literature in the age which produced the famous trio of Welsh scholars, Gerald, Map, and Geoffrey Of Monmouth. And the learning Of Gerald, the universal scholar, as Mr. Freeman calls him. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Download or read book Gerald of Wales written by A. Joseph McMullen and published by University of Wales Press. This book was released on 2018-02-01 with total page 441 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Gerald of Wales (c.1146–c.1223), widely recognized for his innovative ethnographic studies of Ireland and Wales, was in fact the author of some twenty-three works which touch upon many aspects of twelfth-century life. Despite their valuable insights, these works have been vastly understudied. This collection of essays reassesses Gerald’s importance as a medieval Latin writer and rhetorician by focusing on his lesser-known works and providing a fuller context for his more popular writings. This broader view of his corpus brings to light new evidence for his rhetorical strategies, political positioning and usage of source material, and attests to the breadth and depth of his collected works.

Download or read book Mr Cassini written by Lloyd Jones and published by Seren. This book was released on 2016-08-15 with total page 374 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: WINNER OF WALES BOOK OF THE YEAR AWARD 2007 "Lloyd Jones's psychogeographic epic about, among other things, Wales, football, water-divining, madness, vampires, Merlin, legends, policemen, birds, mannequins and picnics, is full of ideas but (purposefully) spirals far away from any kind of narrative. Absurdist and resonant, this is a meditation on a nation that is anything but straightforward." THE GUARDIAN "Few people write with this much verve any more. An extraordinary work of the imagination." THE INDEPENDENT "Lyrical and inventive." THE TIMES Mr Cassini, the remarkable follow-up to the award-winning Mr Vogel, is an amazing journey through the geography of one man's troubled mind as he tries to recover the lost years of his childhood. Duxie is a dreamer with holes in his memory. With the help of a mysterious and beautiful girl he sets out on a quest to fill the gaps in his history. And as they search the landscapes and myths of the past they uncover domestic and national tyranny. The tale twists together strands of dream, daydream and reality as Duxie journeys towards freedom – and a final understanding of what caused his amnesia. Because lurking deep within his dreams is a sinister, vampire figure called Mr Cassini, who drinks women's tears, keeps stolen mannequins in a darkened room, and gets up to terrible deeds with his policeman side-kick. Journeying through time, Duxie investigates caves and wells, mystics and madness, and seeks out four extraordinary champions to help him stage a showcase trial on a mountain in the centre of Wales. Mr Cassini is a novel with many themes, including monsters, snow, picnics, islands, drugs, rainbows, eating disorders, insects, justice and magic. Lloyd Jones walked around Wales – a journey of more than a thousand miles – while writing his first novel, the prize-winning Mr Vogel. For Mr Cassini he changed tack, walking across Wales seven times in seven different directions. The result is an ambitious and brilliant exploration of lost childhood and the distortions of the past. Learned, funny and tragic, Mr Cassini is told in dazzling colour.
