Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Romantic Richmondshire: Being a Complete Account of the History, Antiquities and Scenery of the Picturesque Valleys of the Swale and Yore The greater part of the area I have dealt with ranges in altitude from about 500 feet to 1200 feet above normal sea level, whilst many of the hills and peaks ascend to 2000 feet and upwards. The higher parts of the dales consist of wide sweeps of heathery moorland - comprising some of the best grouse tracts in England - and from many a neighbouring summit are to be had wide and magnificent prospects. In the lower grounds are the villages, farmsteads, and mansions of the gentry, the land being usually rich and pastoral, also abounding in flowery glades and rocky glens musical with laughing rills or resounding with the thunder of crashing cascades. Much else, too, will be found to interest the visitor, especially the lover of antiquities. The district is peculiarly rich in mediaeval architecture, apparent in many an ample fortress, parish church, ruined abbey, and other religious edifice, about which much that is new and interesting has been related in the work. An instance may be cited of the old Knights Templars' Hospice and Chapel on the slopes of Penhill, whereof nothing hitherto has been recorded.

Download or read book People Places and Prehistory in Swaledale written by Helen Bainbridge and published by Lulu.com. This book was released on 2013-01-29 with total page 63 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Helen Bainbridge takes us on a wonderful journey through the written history of prehistoric Swaledale, from a time when flint arrow heads were thought to be petrified thunderbolts, through the early and surprisingly perceptive antiquarians, and the certainties of the digging and writing clergymen, to the ground-breaking work of Robert White, Andrew Fleming and Tim Laurie which has inspired the 21st century investigation you can explore on the SWAAG website. We now know that good history and archaeology raise more questions than they answer, but the journey remains as exhilarating as ever. This publication will be of interest to both newcomer and well-seasoned enthusiast to the history of Swaledale and Arkengarthdale. Drawing upon a wide range of text focussing on local prehistory, fact, fiction and anecdote are connected with actual finds to create a lively trawl through time. Many of the illustrations have never been published and draw upon the riches of the Swaledale Museum archive.

Download or read book Folklore of Yorkshire written by Kai Roberts and published by The History Press. This book was released on 2013-04-01 with total page 267 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The beautiful county of Yorkshire is the largest in England, and yet still possesses a strong and cohesive regional identity. Built on centuries of shared tradition, a characteristic body of folklore has thrived and endured well into the present day. Folklore of Yorkshire chronicles such beliefs throughout the whole county, identifying distinctive common themes, placing them in their historical context and considering their social and psychological function. You'll discover Yorkshire's holy wells and buried treasure, its boggarts, Black Dogs and fairies, and the legends behind the county's stunning landscape. This fully illustrated book shows how the customs of the past have influenced the ways of today, whilst also revealing something about the nature of folklore itself, both for the tradition-bearers and those who collect it.

Book excerpt: Understanding the dynamics of British colonialism and the enormous ecological transformations that took place through the mobilization and globalized management of natures. For many critics, Romanticism is synonymous with nature writing, for representations of the natural world appear during this period with a freshness, concreteness, depth, and intensity that have rarely been equaled. Why did nature matter so much to writers of the late eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries? And how did it play such an important role in their understanding of themselves and the world? In Natures in Translation, Alan Bewell argues that there is no Nature in the singular, only natures that have undergone transformation through time and across space. He examines how writers—as disparate as Erasmus and Charles Darwin, Joseph Banks, Gilbert White, William Bartram, William Wordsworth, John Clare, and Mary Shelley—understood a world in which natures were traveling and resettling the globe like never before. Bewell presents British natural history as a translational activity aimed at globalizing local natures by making them mobile, exchangeable, comparable, and representable. Bewell explores how colonial writers, in the period leading up to the formulation of evolutionary theory, responded to a world in which new natures were coming into being while others disappeared. For some of these writers, colonial natural history held the promise of ushering in a “cosmopolitan” nature in which every species, through trade and exchange, might become a true “citizen of the world.” Others struggled with the question of how to live after the natures they depended upon were gone. Ultimately, Natures in Translation demonstrates that—far from being separate from the dominant concerns of British imperial culture—nature was integrally bound up with the business of empire.
