Now needs revision
A passage from the material published in 2021 as 'Arthuriad: Synopsis & Excerpts', depicting the Winter Solstice in Arthur's Albion. This is to come towards the end (naturally as the whole narrates the Wheel of the Year) of the second part of the projected Albion Tetralogy: II. Interlude: The Island of the Mighty.
This is a passage that has undergone either no or very little revision since its most recent publication, and some of it is to appear again in Dennis Wilson Wise, 'Speculative Poetry and the Modern Alliterative Revival: A Critical Anthology', alongside work by C.S. Lewis, Auden, Heath-Stubbs, Edwin Morgan, Poul Anderson, John Myers Myers, Paul Edwin Zimmer, &c, forthcoming from Fairleigh Dickinson University Press.

The study of masculinity as a specific topic (rather than an implicit element) is not utterly new: work in sociology in the 1980s, cultural studies in the 1990s, and concerns of feminist criticism from much earlier have laid the foundations for studying how men set about being men. Historians have also engaged with the topic, most notably in work on the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. Medieval studies picked up the chase in the mid 1990s, initially in three separate volumes of essays devoted to the topic (1), and now in Ruth Mazo Karras's new book. From Boys to Men is the first single-authored volume devoted to the topic of medieval masculinity, and as such it has both a hard task to fulfil and a key role to play.

This thesis is a study of religious gilds, within the historic boundaries of Yorkshire, from the late fourteenth century to their dissolution. Following a brief survey of sources, it uses the gild returns of 1389 to build a picture of the distribution and functions of religious gilds at that date. The next two chapters describe the ways in which gilds developed over the following 150 years, making wide use of testamentary evidence. It is argued that, as public manifestations of that strand of late medieval lay piety that was both orthodox and official, they became allies of the Lancastrian regime and its successors in their religious conservatism. Enjoying official approval, they became increasingly wealthy and influential in their local communities as their size and numbers increased. Ambitious individuals used fraternal contacts to seek or maintain political authority, as gilds themselves became ever more closely controlled by local government in both a rural and an urban context. The following chapter, which focuses on York, by far the largest and best documented urban centre in the county, pursues this theme further and examines the growing relationship between gilds and craft organisations. The two case studies that follow analyse, at a much more detailed level, the general arguments proposed in the preceding chapters, through the study of original documentation relating to the Corpus Christi Gild of York and the St. Mary Gild In Holy Trinity in Hull. Prior to a general conclusion, the thesis examines the processes leading up to the gilds' dissolution at the hands of a Tudor government that was no longer in tune with their religious conservatism. Sources used in analysing this process include the certificates of the king's commissioners of 1546 and 1548. A Gazetteer of all the gilds found during the course of research is added as an appendix.-2-CONTENTS Introduction Rationale Historiography 13 Sources 20

This paper argues that in "Jerusalem," William invokes 3 episodes from the biblical Book of Numbers -- the report of the spies about the giants in Canaan, Balaam's attempt to curse the Israelites, and the battle of Peor -- to suggest an alternative to war as a means of conquest, and to suggest that the legitimate line of prophecy need not depend on one's nationality.

Thank you very much for reading a lancashire gentleman the letters and journals of richard hodgkinson 1763 1847. Maybe you have knowledge that, people have look hundreds times for their chosen books like this a lancashire gentleman the letters and journals of richard hodgkinson 1763 1847, but end up in infectious downloads. Rather than enjoying a good book with a cup of coffee in the afternoon, instead they are facing with some harmful bugs inside their laptop.

correctly observes in the opening sentence of his stimulating study of the history of blasphemy in modern Britain, 'In modern British society each successive generation complacently congratulates itself that blasphemy is a curious and even fascinating anachronism.' Yet each generation, including our own, is apt to discover that, far from being a mere anachronism, the phenomenon of blasphemy-its meaning, its perceived reality, and its status and significance for contemporary British society and culture-remains a living and urgent issue. And it is one, moreover, that is now intimately connected to issues of both individual and communal rights in an increasingly plural and multi-cultural society. Blasphemy in Modern Britain: 1789 to the Present provides a valuable survey of the history of blasphemy in Britain, and of many of the debates surrounding it, from the late eighteenth century until the late twentieth century. The introduction helpfully identifies a number of important themes and issues that subsequently prove central to the author's account and analysis of the phenomenon of blasphemy in modern Britain. In particular, Nash emphasises the persistent difficulty that has been experienced in providing a satisfactory definition of blasphemy; the fact that in Britain blasphemy has historically protected only Christianity (and arguably only the Christianity of the Church of England); and the trend in recent cases towards the protection not simply of Christian doctrines but of the sensibilities or 'feelings' of Christians. He also notes the frequent linkage between accusations of blasphemy and the perception that blasphemers constitute a threat to the moral fabric of society, as well as the clear relationship between prosecutions for blasphemy and issues of class. Finally-and importantly-Nash suggests that, whilst the issue of blasphemy inevitably leads to the question of the appropriate relationship between the state and religion, late twentieth century British debates about blasphemy have tended to indicate the power of particular religious communities to assert the claims of religious values 'from below', whilst the role of the state itself has appeared increasingly ambiguous. The first chapter traces the origins and development of the law of blasphemy in Britain from the medieval and early modern periods to the late nineteenth century. Focusing on the crucial distinction between the 'matter' and the 'manner' of the alleged offence, Nash outlines the transition from the absolute priority of the 'matter' of an alleged blasphemy as defined in the Hale dictum of the late seventeenth century, to the assertion of the greater importance of the 'manner' of an alleged blasphemy, as defined in the Coleridge dictum of 1883. The latter judgement, it is noted, then formed the basis of judicial interpretation of the law of blasphemy until the Gay News case of 1977. Chapter two then addresses the theme of blasphemy and

Largely except for Arthurian romance and Boudicca, much of what early modern Englishmen read and understood as explanations for their national origins has long since faded from popular knowledge. Moreover, even royal women, those at the top of the social-political hierarchy, have been forgotten, even though they had exciting stories and long-term cultural impact. Indeed, Albine and her thirty-two sisters, the daughters of King Dioclesian, and Gwendolyn, Cornish wife of King Locrine, while mythological foreign invaders of England, have had substantial impacts in British culture and history. This chapter examines their medieval roots and cultural significance, particularly through the lens of early modern reader response and historical context, showing why audiences turned away in the seventeenth century, forgetting this complex past.
