Book Synopsis Writing a Small Nation's Past by : Neil Evans
Download or read book Writing a Small Nation's Past written by Neil Evans and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2016-02-17 with total page 445 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is the first volume to examine how the history of Wales was written in a period that saw the emergence of professional historiography, largely focused on the nation, across Europe and in the United States. It thus sets Wales in the context of recent work on national history writing in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries, and, more particularly, offers a Welsh perspective on the ways in which history was written in small, mainly stateless, nations. The comparative dimension is fundamental to the volume's aim, highlighting what was distinctive about Welsh historical writing and showing how the Welsh experience mirrors and illuminates broader historiographical developments. The book begins with an introduction that uses the concept of historical culture as a way of exploring the different strands of historiography covered in the collection, providing orientation to the chapters that follow. These are divided into four sections: 'Contexts and Backgrounds', 'Amateurs and Popularizers', 'Creating Academic Disciplines', and 'Comparative Perspectives'. All these themes are then drawn together in the conclusion to examine how far Welsh historians exemplify widespread trends in the writing of national history, and thereby point-up common themes that emerge from the volume and clarify its broader significance for students of historiography.

Book excerpt: Wales is a row of hills, rising between the Irish Sea on the west and the English plains on the east. If you come from the west along the sea, or if you cross the Severn or the Dee from the east, you will see that Wales is a country all by itself. It rises grandly and proudly. If you are a stranger, you will think of it as "Wales"-a strange country; if you are Welsh, you will think of it as "Cymru"-a land of brothers.The geologist will tell you how Wales was made; the geographer will tell you what it is like now; the historian will tell you what its people have done and what they are. All p. 2three will tell you that it is a very interesting country.The rocks of Wales are older and harder than the rocks of the plains; and as you travel from the south to the north, the older and harder they become. The highest mountains of Wales, and some of its hills, have crests of the very oldest and hardest rock-granite, porphyry, and basa

Book Synopsis Welsh Food Stories by : Carwyn Graves
Download or read book Welsh Food Stories written by Carwyn Graves and published by University of Wales Press. This book was released on 2022-05-26 with total page 246 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Welsh Food Stories explores more than two thousand years of history to discover the rich but forgotten heritage of Welsh foods – from oysters to cider, salted butter to salt-marsh lamb. Despite centuries of industry, ancient traditions have survived in pockets across the country among farmers, bakers, fisherfolk, brewers and growers who are taking Welsh food back to its roots, and trailblazing truly sustainable foods as they do so. In this important book, author Carwyn Graves travels Wales to uncover the country’s traditional foods and meet the people making them today. There are the owners of a local Carmarthenshire chip shop who never forget a customer, the couple behind Anglesey’s world-renowned salt company Halen Môn, and everyone else in between – all of them have unique and compelling stories to tell about how they contribute to the past, present and future of Welsh food. This is an evocative and insightful exploration of an often overlooked national cuisine, shining a spotlight on the importance – environmentally and socially – of keeping local food production alive.

Book Synopsis The Cambrian Tourist, or, Post-Chaise Companion through Wales: 1828 by : Anonymous
Download or read book The Cambrian Tourist, or, Post-Chaise Companion through Wales: 1828 written by Anonymous and published by Good Press. This book was released on 2021-11-05 with total page 182 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is a tourist guide that settles on Oxford as a central location from which to embark on a Tour to either North or South Wales, and to which transportation is now established from all regions of England and Scotland. And, if the Tourist's undertaking is begun early in the season, he has plenty of time to enjoy it, and he will have the best chance of seeing this seat of learning and nursery of the arts; the elegant piles of buildings that Oxford exhibits, the stores of learned wealth that it possesses, and the beautiful paintings that adorn its halls and colleges, are all described so cheaply and thoroughly in the Oxford Guides, that to attempt to do so in this work would be impossible. In the summer, the Bodleian or University Library, one of Europe's largest, as well as the Picture Gallery, are open from 8 a.m. to 2 p.m. and from 3 to 5 p.m.; in the winter, only until 3 p.m. On the north side of the Schools, the Arundel marbles are housed in a huge room. The famed Radcliffe Library, a splendid edifice with a gorgeous dome, is located south of the Schools in a lovely setting. Even if only to see the painting of our Saviour wearing his cross, said to be painted by Guido, St. Mary Magdalene College in the city's east end, along the Cherwell River, is well worth a visit.
