Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Walks and Wanderings in County Cardigan: Being a Descriptive Sketch of Its Picturesque, Historic, Antiquarian, Romantic and Traditional Features The old land of Ceredigion has not in the past been very fruitful of literary exertion save for religious memoirs, theological dissertations and perhaps poetry. The writers have in general neglected to give evidence of their home to the world without, and as a century ago the History of Cardiganshire was left to the "juvenile antiquarian ebullition" of Sir Samuel Rush Meyrick, so these Wanderings by moorland, forest, secluded hamlet and winding stream are the treasured notes of many holiday rambles and researches of one who, if closely bound in love to the county, is still a stranger by birth and residence. The vast storehouse of material upon Cardiganshire has been little worked until quite recent times. My original intention was to introduce chapters upon unique features of Cardiganshire life - the farm, the mine, the superstitions, folk-lore and ancient customs; but these have assumed proportions vast enough for another volume, and I reluctantly leave them in script. Thus has it fared with nonconformity, though an appendix yields a basis for further work. Lists of Mayors of Aberystwyth and Cardigan are available from early Stuart days, and of Lampeter names of port-reeves before 1800 and mayors after 1832, but the already increased bulk of the volume has excluded these invaluable data. Those interested in Aberystwyth will find ample suggestion in Mr. Eyre Evans' recent labours, and the great Abbey's exploration was chronicled by the explorer. The Sheriffs long ago met with their recorder, and the Enwogion (worthies) were honoured in the biographies of Gwynionydd and Glan Menai. Literature on the Mines has been somewhat extensive. My obligations are due to the Countess of Lisburne for permission to reproduce the portrait of the present Earl; to Mrs. Johnes and Lady Hills-Johnes for the loan of various engravings, portraits, etc.; to Major Edw. W. D. Evans, J.P. for the account of the Militia; to Mr. S. Gwbert Adams for valuable information on Cardigan town; to Principal Bebb of Lampeter, Principal Salmon of Swansea, Mr. Hall of Aberystwyth, Messrs. Thomas of Cardigan and Mr. D. Thomas of Barrow-on-Soar, for assistance in the matter of views; to my father, without whose ready advice the volume would not have been written, and other relatives, in addition to those referred to continually in the text and foot-notes. As level England has been formed geologically by the deposition of mere waste material from the surface of the Welsh mountains, so my book may appear to the Cymro mere alluvia from the inexhaustible hills; but I may surely reply that the English meadows bear fruit more readily than the untilled mountain land, and through its imperfections, of which I am but too keenly sensible, my volume may usher in a nobler attempt to delineate this isolated and almost inaccessible country.

Book Synopsis Wales and the Crusades by : Kathryn Hurlock
Download or read book Wales and the Crusades written by Kathryn Hurlock and published by University of Wales Press. This book was released on 2011-10-15 with total page 308 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This original study, focussing on the impact of the crusading movement in medieval Wales, considers both the enthusiasm of the Welsh and those living in Wales and its borders for the crusades, as well as the domestic impact of the movement on warfare, literature, politics and patronage. The location of Wales on the periphery of mainstream Europe, and its perceived status as religiously and culturally underdeveloped did not make it the most obvious candidate for crusading involvement, but this study demonstrates that both native and settler took part in the crusades, supported the military orders, and wrote about events in the Holy Land. Efforts were made to recruit the Welsh in 1188, suggesting contemporary appreciation for Welsh fighting skills, even though crusaders from Wales have been overlooked in modern studies. By looking at patterns of participation this study shows how domestic warfare influenced the desire and willingness to join the crusade, and the effect of such absences on the properties of those who did go. The difference between north and south Wales, Marcher lord and native prince, Flemish noble and minor landholder are considered to show how crusading affected a broad spread of society. Finally, the political role of crusading participation as a way to remove potential troublemakers and cement English control over Wales is considered as the close of the peak years of crusading coincided with the final conquest of Wales in 1282.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A page-turning novel that is also an exploration of the great philosophical concepts of Western thought, Jostein Gaarder's Sophie's World has fired the imagination of readers all over the world, with more than twenty million copies in print. One day fourteen-year-old Sophie Amundsen comes home from school to find in her mailbox two notes, with one question on each: "Who are you?" and "Where does the world come from?" From that irresistible beginning, Sophie becomes obsessed with questions that take her far beyond what she knows of her Norwegian village. Through those letters, she enrolls in a kind of correspondence course, covering Socrates to Sartre, with a mysterious philosopher, while receiving letters addressed to another girl. Who is Hilde? And why does her mail keep turning up? To unravel this riddle, Sophie must use the philosophy she is learning—but the truth turns out to be far more complicated than she could have imagined.

Download or read book A Lost Lady written by Willa Cather and published by E-Kitap Projesi & Cheapest Books. This book was released on 2023-11-15 with total page 122 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A Lost Lady is a novel by American author Willa Cather, first published in 1923. It centers on Marian Forrester, her husband Captain Daniel Forrester, and their lives in the small western town of Sweet Water, along the Transcontinental Railroad. However, it is mostly told from the perspective of a young man named Niel Herbert, as he observes the decline of both Marian and the West itself, as it shifts from a place of pioneering spirit to one of corporate exploitation. Exploring themes of social class, money, and the march of progress, A Lost Lady was praised for its vivid use of symbolism and setting, and is considered to be a major influence on the works of F. Scott Fitzgerald. It has been adapted to film twice, with a film adaptation being released in 1924, followed by a looser adaptation in 1934, starring Barbara Stanwyck. A Lost Lady begins in the small railroad town of Sweet Water, on the undeveloped Western plains. The most prominent family in the town is the Forresters, and Marian Forrester is known for her hospitality and kindness. The railroad executives frequently stop by her house and enjoy the food and comfort she offers while there on business. A young boy, Niel Herbert, frequently plays on the Forrester estate with his friend. One day, an older boy named Ivy Peters arrives, and shoots a woodpecker out of a tree. He then blinds the bird and laughs as it flies around helplessly. Niel pities the bird and tries to climb the tree to put it out of its misery, but while climbing he slips, and breaks his arm in the fall, as well as knocking himself unconscious. Ivy takes him to the Forrester house where Marian looks after him. When Niel wakes up, he's amazed by the nice house and how sweet Marian smells. He doesn't't see her much after that, but several years later he and his uncle, Judge Pommeroy, are invited to the Forrester house for dinner. There he meets Ellinger, who he will later learn is Mrs. Forrester's lover, and Constance, a young girl his age.
