Download or read book Jersey Superstitions in Etching and Poetry Extended Edition written by G. Bois and published by . This book was released on 2016-08-11 with total page 140 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A creative interpretation in images and words of traditions from Jersey folklore with explanatory notes on the source folk tales. This extended edition includes project development notes, sketches & additional etchings. For those who would prefer not to have this additional material, the standard 2nd Edition is available.The Island of Jersey lies 15 miles from France, in an angle between the Norman and Breton coasts called the 'Gulf of St. Malo'. It is an autonomous 'peculiar' of the British Crown and with the other Channel Islands, is the only surviving residue of the old Norman state that conquered England in 1066. It is the 'original' Jersey that gave its name to its various namesakes around the world (including those in the United States). The native language was Jèrriais, an ancient Norman dialect of the langue d'oil, but English is almost exclusively spoken now and has been the majority language since the 1920s and in the countryside since the early 1950s. The deep oral traditions of the Island developed over at least 1000 years in a deeply superstitious rural and seafaring community (with limited mercantile and industrial elements) and started to die out in the late 19th century, although a few folk tales are still known today in a handful of neighbourhoods. These etchings and poems explore the deeper psychological elements of these almost extinct traditions and the impact they might have had on earlier minds and on the implications for the undercurrents that pass through modern minds.

Download or read book Jersey Folklore Superstitions Volume One written by G. J. C. Bois and published by AuthorHouse. This book was released on 2010-06-04 with total page 682 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Published in two volumes, the purpose of Jersey Folklore & Superstitions is three-fold: To bring all the previously published and any non-published material on Jersey folktales and superstitions together in one publication, to expand on the detail of this material and to place it in context by comparing it with similar or more complete traditions from the Gulf of St. Malo as a whole (Guernsey, Normandy and Brittany) and to consider its functions and origins. To this end they are further compared with traditions from Europe generally, with some examples from further afield and with mythologies worldwide. For Jersey readers this work will give an overview of their oral tradition, its significance and how it relates to the body of such traditions within Europe as a whole. For general readers the use of the Island’s traditions as a template for those elsewhere, the process of comparison with those from other regions and the attempt to outline the broad range of sources from which they are drawn, may give an insight into particular areas of folk tradition generally, such as fairy-lore, indigenous sorcery (witchcraft), domestic superstitions and the roles and origins of spectral animals and other beings. For this purpose, most chapters are broadly divided into four main sections. The Jersey material is presented first, followed by that from Guernsey, Normandy and Brittany, followed by an analysis using examples from further afield and from mythology. Each chapter concludes with a review and summary of this material. Liberal quotations of related ‘ditons’ or sayings in Jèrriais (the Jersey Language) are included with each chapter. The author has four previous publications; Jersey Superstitions in Etching & Poetry (hardcover 1981), An Introduction to Channel Islands’ Pewter (softcover 1993), Jersey Maritime Folklore (M/S format, 1996) and Sunbonnets in the Channel Islands & worldwide (CD-R 2005).

Download or read book The Complete Poetry of James Hearst written by James Hearst and published by . This book was released on 2001 with total page 576 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Part of the regionalist movement that included Grant Wood, Paul Engle, Hamlin Garland, and Jay G. Sigmund, James Hearst helped create what Iowa novelist Ruth Suckow called a poetry of place. A lifelong Iowa farner, Hearst began writing poetry at age nineteen and eventually wrote thirteen books of poems, a novel, short stories, cantatas, and essays, which gained him a devoted following Many of his poems were published in the regionalist periodicals of the time, including the Midland, and by the great regional presses, including Carroll Coleman's Prairie Press. Drawing on his experiences as a farmer, Hearst wrote with a distinct voice of rural life and its joys and conflicts, of his own battles with physical and emotional pain (he was partially paralyzed in a farm accident), and of his own place in the world. His clear eye offered a vision of the midwestern agrarian life that was sympathetic but not sentimental - a people and an art rooted in place.
