Book excerpt: In the Age of the Saints between the fifth and seventh centuries, early Christian leaders in Wales assimilated the currents of existing faith and indigenous Celtic devotion into the intellectual traditions of the greater European church. The humanist teaching of such figures as papa Dubricius (Dyfrig) in Erging, and of his successor Iltut (Illtud) in Llantwit Major, were followed by the sixth-century saints who turned increasingly to an ascetic monasticism influenced by ideas originating in the eastern Mediterranean. Although the idea of a Celtic Church encompassing the Celtic nations has now been superseded in our understanding of the period, the lives of the saints are squarely set against the backdrop of the lands of their mission. The lives represent medieval Latin scripts in eulogy to the religious leaders of earlier centuries, though rarely achieving great literary invention around only kernels of truth that relate to the individual saints, and should correctly be viewed as embodying a literary form in their own right. This is a newly available edition of G. H Doble s Lives of the Welsh Saints, which was edited by Professor D. Simon Evans in 1984. This volume contains his work on five Welsh Saints Dubricius, Iltut, Paulinus, Teilo and Oudoceus. "

Book excerpt: The Welsh saints have highly patterned lives - structured according to traditional expectations. In addition to the broad narrative structure which they share with their secular counterparts, the saints also share with each other a distinctive set of hagiographical motifs. Drawing on sources ranging from seventh-century Vitaeto twentieth-century fieldwork, Henken discusses the male and female biographical patterns and then presents the common themes and motifs which run through the saint's lives. This material is organized according to stages of the saints' lives and categories of their activity. The volume also includes a complete motif index and an index of traditions associated with the individual saints. ELISSA R. HENKEN/currently teaches both folklore and Celtic literaure at the University of Georgia.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from An Essay on the Welsh Saints or the Primitive Christians: Usually Considered to Have Been the Founder of Churches in Wales In groping through this period of darkness, some glimmer ings of light may be borrowed from Bede, the contemporary writers Of Gaul, and perhaps from the Irish historians; and in compiling such a history, where authorities of the legendary kind must be consulted, a simple rule may be Observed, which, if does not always elicit the truth, will produce the mearest approximation to it, namely to take the story of the oldest writer, which also is generally found to be the most limited. The character of fable is progressive, and a story, which originally was true, is in most cases repeated with additions. This rule has been established with great clearness by the author Of Europe in the Middle Ages, (in Lardner's Cyclopaedia, vol. Iv. P. 67 observing the manner in which Nennius has been amplified by Geoffrey, he adds There is no greater difference between Geoffrey of Monmouth and Nennius, than between Nennius and Gildas. This fact is very instructive; it may enable the judicious investigator into the antiquities of ancient Britain, and of Britain even in the anglo-saxon period, to steer his way through the darkest path ever traversed by historian.

Download or read book Celtic Folklore: Welsh and Manx Vol.1 (of 2) written by John Rhys and published by OXFORD AT THE CLARENDON PRESS MDCCCCI. This book was released on 2017-07-04 with total page 189 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The materials crowded into the earlier chapters mark out the stories connected with the fairies, whether of the lakes or of the dry land, as the richest lode to be exploited in the mine of Celtic folklore. That work is attempted in the later chapters; and the analysis of what may briefly be described as the fairy lore given in the earlier ones carries with it the means of forcing the conviction, that the complex group of ideas identified with the little people is of more origins than one; in other words, that it is drawn partly from history and fact, and partly from the world of imagination and myth. The latter element proves on examination to be inseparably connected with certain ancient beliefs in divinities and demons associated, for instance, with lakes, rivers, and floods. Accordingly, this aspect of fairy lore has been dealt with in chapters vi and vii: the former is devoted largely to the materials themselves, while the latter brings the argument to a conclusion as to the intimate connexion of the fairies with the water-world. Then comes the turn of the other kind of origin to be discussed, namely, that which postulates the historical existence of the fairies as a real race on which have been lavishly superinduced various impossible attributes. This opens up a considerable vista into the early ethnology of these islands, and it involves a variety of questions bearing on the fortunes here of other races. In the series which suggests itself the fairies come first as the oldest and lowest people: then comes that which I venture to call Pictish, possessed of a higher civilization and of warlike instincts. Next come the earlier Celts of the Goidelic branch, the traces, linguistic and other, of whose presence in Wales have demanded repeated notice; and last of all come the other Celts, the linguistic [xii]ancestors of the Welsh and all the other speakers of Brythonic. The development of these theses, as far as folklore supplies materials, occupies practically the remaining five chapters. Among the subsidiary questions raised may be instanced those of magic and the origin of druidism; not to mention a neglected aspect of the Arthurian legend, the intimate association of the Arthur of Welsh folklore and tradition with Snowdon, and Arthur’s attitude towards the Goidelic population in his time.

Download or read book A Concise History of Wales written by Geraint H. Jenkins and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2007 with total page 307 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Based on the most recent historical research and current debates about Wales and Welshness, this volume offers the most up-to-date, authoritative and accessible account of the period from Neanderthal times to the opening of the Senedd, the new home of the National Assembly for Wales, in 2006. Within a remarkably brief and stimulating compass, Geraint H. Jenkins explores the emergence of Wales as a nation, its changing identities and values, and the transformations its people experienced and survived throughout the centuries. In the face of seemingly overwhelming odds, the Welsh never reconciled themselves to political, social and cultural subordination, and developed ingenious ways of maintaining a distinctive sense of their otherness. The book ends with the coming of political devolution and the emergence of a greater measure of cultural pluralism. Professor Jenkins's lavishly illustrated volume provides enthralling material for scholars, students, general readers, and travellers to Wales.
