Download or read book Angevin Britain and Scandinavia Vol 6 Classic Reprint written by Henry Goddard Leach and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-12-18 with total page 446 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Angevin Britain and Scandinavia, Vol. 6 In a work of this compass it is impossible to maintain proportionate treatment. While some chapters are based almost entirely upon first hand study of original sources, other chapters which lie outside the Angevin period, such as those on the Scandinavian settlement of Britain and on Epic Survivals, are necessarily rapid surveys of results obtained by specialists in pre-conquest his tory and literature. The chapter on Books of In struction, also, falling outside the main subject of this study, the development of romantic narrative, professes to be only a summary of secondary ma terials. It is my hope that any disappointment readers may feel in these chapters may be balanced by the fuller treatment of romance, ballad, pseudo history, and saga which is only thus made possible.

Download or read book The Northmen in Britain Classic Reprint written by Eleanor Means Hull and published by . This book was released on 2015-06-29 with total page 298 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Northmen in Britain Two great streams of Northern immigration met on the shores of Britain during the ninth, tenth, and eleventh centuries. The Norsemen from the deep fiords of Western Norway, fishing and raiding along the coasts, pushed out their adventurous boats into the Atlantic, and in the dawn of Northern history we find them already settled in the Orkney and Shetland Isles, whence they raided and settled southward to Caithness, Fife, and Northumbria on the east, and to the Hebrides, Galloway, and Man on the western coast. Fresh impetus was given to this outward movement by the changes of policy introduced by Harald Fairhair, first king of Norway (872-983). Through him a nobler type of emigrant succeeded the casual wanderer, and great lords and kings' sons came over to consolidate the settlements begun by humbler agencies. Iceland was at the same time peopled by a similar stock. The Dane, contemporaneously with the Norseman, came by a different route. Though he seems to have been the first to invade Northumbria (if Ragnar and his sons were really Danes), his movement was chiefly round the southern shores of England, passing over by way of the Danish and Nether land coast up the English Channel, and round to 'the west.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Ballad Criticism in Scandinavia and Great Britain During the Eighteenth Century Grundtvig's Opportunity came in connection with an edi tion of ballads which the Society for the Promotion of Dan ish Letters had for some time been preparing to publish. Grundtvig, who, as early as 1843, had joined with another young student in a circular asking for ballad texts and tunes, and who, in 1842 - 46, had gained attering notice by his translation of Engels/re 0g shots/re Fol/revise); took occasion on the invitation of the Society, to present, in 1847, a prospectus setting forth his principles with reference to the proper editing of ballads, and giving examples of the treatment he meant to apply to the individual numbers.

Download or read book The Danes in Lancashire and Yorkshire Classic Reprint written by S. W. Partington and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-01-10 with total page 298 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Danes in Lancashire and Yorkshire The story of the 'childhood of our race' wh'o inhabited the counties of Lancashire and Yorkshire before the Norman Conquest, is an almost blank page to the popular reader of to-day. The last invaders of our shores, whom we designate as the Danes and Norsemen, were not the least important of our ancestors. The History of their daring adventures, crafts and customs, beliefs and character, with the surviving traces in our language and laws, form the subject of this book. From the evidence of relics, and of existing customs and traditions, we trace their thought and actions, their first steps in speech and handicraft, and the development of their religious conceptions. Our education authorities have realized the fact that Local Names contain a fund of history and meaning which appeals to the young as well as to the adults; and the county committees have been well advised to recommend the teaching of History and Geography from local features and events. Some articles written by the late Mr. John Just, m.a., of Bury, on our early races, and elements of our language and dialect, formed the incentive to the writer to continue the story Of our Danish ancestors. To the following writers we are indebted for many facts and quotations: H. Colley March, Esq., M.D W. G. Collingwood, Scandinavian Britain W. S.

Download or read book Britain and Scandinavia written by Anthony P R Howatt and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2013-10-08 with total page 704 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume forms part of a five volume set charting the progress of the nineteenth century movement, which was instrumental in establishing international guidelines for the teaching of modern languages. It was during this period that for the first time, co-operation between phoneticians and teachers culminated in the publication of works that were instrumental in establishing the 'applied linguistic' approach to language teaching in the twentieth century. For the first time, too, the new science of psychology influenced a scientific theory of second language acquisition. The Reform Movement attracted support across Europe, spurring the development of new professional associations and journals. In turn, the publication in these journals of reports of innovative practice contributed to a greater sense of autonomy and professionalism among modern language teachers, who had hitherto tended to live under the shadow of classical language teaching. The practical innovations and theoretical suggestions for the foreign language teaching, although rooted in the nineteenth century, still have relevance today.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Norse-Folk: Or a Visit to the Homes of Norway and Sweden To an American, a visit to the home of the old Northmen is a visit back to his forefathers' house. A thousand signs tell him he is at the cradle of the race which leads modern enterprise, and whose Viking power on both hemispheres has not yet ceased to be felt. In giving a sketch of a journey among the norse-folk, it has seemed to me that there were two sides which should most of all interest their descendants and kinsmen in the New World: one, the associations and memorials which connect them with the age when the wild energy of the race was transplanted to the British Islands, and even touched briefly in its enterprises the coasts of America; and the other, the life of today.

This book was released on 2017-11-22 with total page 420 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from An Account of the Danes and Norwegians in England, Scotland, and Ireland IN the spring of 1846, his late Majesty Christian VIII. Of Denmark determined that an inquiry should be made respecting the monuments and memorials of the Danes and Norwegians which might be still extant in Scotland and the British Islands. His Majesty was the more con firmed in this design as two distinguished British noblemen, his Grace the Duke of Sutherland, and his brother Lord Francis Egerton (now Earl of Ellesmere), had repeatedly stated in their letters to the Royal Society of Northern Antiquaries that, if a Danish archaeologist visited Scot land, he should receive all possible assistance, especially in Sutherland, a district so rich in Scandinavian antiquities. His Majesty did me the honour to intrust this task to me; and the President of the Royal Society of Northern Antiquaries, and of the Royal Committee for the preserva tion of the national monuments - our present most gracious sovereign Frederick VII. - having, with a lively zeal for the promotion of the inquiry, furnished me with several letters of introduction, I travelled during a twelvemonth (1846-1847) in Scotland, Ireland, and England; where, partly through the personal kindness of the Duke of Sutherland and of the Earl of Ellesmere, and partly by means of their influential names, I invariably met with the best reception and the most valuable assistance in my researches.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Wayside Notes in Scandinavia I wish our modern tourists, instead of sticking to the old beaten tracks of travel, would some times go a little a-field, and visit less frequented highways. It appears that they find it neces sary to follow in the same path that their fathers and friends have gone, like so many geese on a village green, and 'do' what others have 'done; their principal object seem ing to be, besides a holiday trip (which they may as well enjoy on British ground as else where, without crossing the narrow seas), to 'hold up a corner' in a chit-chat in fashionable drawing-rooms.

Download or read book The Religion of Ancient Scandinavia Classic Reprint written by William A. Craigie and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-11-24 with total page 96 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Religion of Ancient Scandinavia The native religion of the ancient Scandinavians was in its main features only a special form of that common to all the Germanic peoples, and this again was only a particular development of primitive beliefs and practices characteristic of the whole Aryan race. It is impossible to say how far back in time the special Germanic and Scandinavian developments of this religion may go, and of their earlier stages we have absolutely no knowledge beyond what may be doubtfully reached by the methods of comparison and in ference. Even of the later stages our informa tion is much more scanty than might be expected. Among the Goths, the southern Germans, and the anglo-saxons in Britain, paganism gave way to Christianity at so early a period, that very few details relating to it have been recorded by the civil or religious historians of these peoples; they were indeed more inclined to suppress than perpetuate any lingering knowledge of this kind.

Download or read book Denmark and Sweden written by Jon Stefansson and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-03-11 with total page 430 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Denmark and Sweden: With Iceland and Finland Among all the countries ofeurope, it is with those of the Scandinavian North and with Holland that we in Britain are most nearly connected by blood, by reli gion, and by similarity of ideas and habits. Yet most of us in this country have very scant knowledge of the history of Denmark, Sweden, Norway, and Iceland, although the political relations of both Great Britain and Ireland were constantly affected by all-these four countries during the ninth, tenth, and eleventh centuries, and though in quite recent times our commercial and also our intellectual intercourse with them has attained a constantly increasing im portance. Accordingly, the appearance of a new Sketch of their history, brief, but perhaps all the more likely to be generally read because it is brief, deserves a welcome. The motive which specially prompts me to write these few lines of preface to the book of Mr. Jon Stefansson, is the fact that he is an Icelander, and that I have long known him as a scholar who has brought his knowledge of the lan guage and history of his own isle to illustrate the early history of the British islands by a study of our place-names, which he has shown to be, especially.
