Download or read book Tales Of Galloway written by Alan Temperley and published by Random House. This book was released on 2015-02-27 with total page 447 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this collection of fifty-one tales from the land of galloway, Alan Temperley pays tribute to the great Scottish tradition of storytelling. The tales are wide-ranging: heros, ghosts and solway smugglers; witches, martyrs, mermaids and fairies; reivers, monsters and colourful rogues. Here are Billy Marshall, King of the tinklers; Sawney Bean, the murderous cannibal; young Robert the Brube on the run in the heather; Trost, last of the Picts, who kept the secret of heather ale; the legend of Mons Meg; Claverhouse and Lagg, persecutors of the Covenanters; the famous poterguist of Rerrick; and many more. Simply told and unadorned, the stories bear the flavour of the region – mountain and forest, silver rivers and lochs, the wild Solway Firth, and some of the most beautiful rolling countryside in Britain. Originally these traditional tales – ranging from rustic comedy to horrific murder – were told in crofts and rural cottages. They grew naturally out of the rich past and the land and the lives of the people – wonderful stories. And they are still as alive today as when they were first told.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Nineteenth Century Collections Online: European Literature, 1790-1840: The Corvey Collection includes the full-text of more than 9,500 English, French and German titles. The collection is sourced from the remarkable library of Victor Amadeus, whose Castle Corvey collection was one of the most spectacular discoveries of the late 1970s. The Corvey Collection comprises one of the most important collections of Romantic era writing in existence anywhere -- including fiction, short prose, dramatic works, poetry, and more -- with a focus on especially difficult-to-find works by lesser-known, historically neglected writers. The Corvey library was built during the last half of the 19th century by Victor and his wife Elise, both bibliophiles with varied interests. The collection thus contains everything from novels and short stories to belles lettres and more populist works, and includes many exceedingly rare works not available in any other collection from the period. These invaluable, sometimes previously unknown works are of particular interest to scholars and researchers. European Literature, 1790-1840: The Corvey Collection includes: * Novels and Gothic Novels * Short Stories * Belles-Lettres * Short Prose Forms * Dramatic Works * Poetry * Anthologies * And more Selected with the guidance of an international team of expert advisors, these primary sources are invaluable for a wide range of academic disciplines and areas of study, providing never before possible research opportunities for one of the most studied historical periods.

Download or read book Fergus of Galloway written by Guillaume le Clerc and published by Birlinn Ltd. This book was released on 2018-06-07 with total page 180 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The popular Arthurian legends, such as the grail quests of Perceval and Galahad, and the love of Lancelot for Queen Guenevere, have largely overshadowed Scotland's own Arthurian romance. The story of Fergus, one of King Arthur's knights, was known to only a few; it was written in Old French and this prevented its proper recognition as a part of Scottish literary heritage. In Fergus of Galloway, Guillaume le Clerc combines, in a unique Scottish setting, the classic themes and conventions of Arthurian romance – many of which would be familiar to his audience through the work of Chrétien de Troyes and his successors – with a highly individual tone of parody and witty comment. Professor Owen's eloquent and lively translation brings this exciting and much undervalued work to a wider audience. Professor Owen's introduction outlines the literary techniques employed in Fergus of Galloway and discusses the significance of Guillaume's achievement in the context of other Arthurian romances. Detailed notes help the reader gain a closer understanding of the poet's technique, and two appendices contain useful background information: a translation of the principal episodes in the Perceval Continuations used in Fergus of Galloway; and a new theory on the possible identity of Guillaume.

Download or read book McMillan's Galloway written by Hugh McMillan and published by . This book was released on 2016 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: McMillan: Scottish poet who once almost moved away from Dumfries and Galloway, but decided against it in the end. Galloway: an oft-ignored corner of south-west Scotland known as the home of reivers and fairies, the last resting place of Robert Burns and the only constituency in the country to elect a Tory MP. Guidebook: a forum for authors to offer up anecdotes in an authoritative manner, with little regard to that thin line between truth and fiction. McMillan's Galloway takes the reader on a whimsical tour of Dumfries and Galloway through the people, places and myths of the area. Topics include the pub where Britt Ekland did not film the seductive bum scene in The Wicker Man, the striking similarities between fairies and little green men and the unexpected revelation of Lawrence of Arabia's tenancy in Kirkcudbright. A witty cabinet of curiosities, McMillan's reimagining of John Mactaggart's 1824 Gallovidian Encyclopaedia collects the poetry of his beloved Dumfries and Galloway from Burns to the present day, and affectingly delves into the area's continued issues of depopulation and land ownership. Despite his irreverent tone, McMillan's love of this corner of Scotland is obvious, and you'd be hard pressed to finish McMillan's Galloway without feeling that you, too, might like to move to a wee village on an unreliable bus route somewhere west of Dumfries. Though you'll change your mind once you find out it probably no longer has a pub.
