Book excerpt: Excerpt from Angevin Britain and Scandinavia, Vol. 6 In a work of this compass it is impossible to maintain proportionate treatment. While some chapters are based almost entirely upon first hand study of original sources, other chapters which lie outside the Angevin period, such as those on the Scandinavian settlement of Britain and on Epic Survivals, are necessarily rapid surveys of results obtained by specialists in pre-conquest his tory and literature. The chapter on Books of In struction, also, falling outside the main subject of this study, the development of romantic narrative, professes to be only a summary of secondary ma terials. It is my hope that any disappointment readers may feel in these chapters may be balanced by the fuller treatment of romance, ballad, pseudo history, and saga which is only thus made possible.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Northmen in Britain Two great streams of Northern immigration met on the shores of Britain during the ninth, tenth, and eleventh centuries. The Norsemen from the deep fiords of Western Norway, fishing and raiding along the coasts, pushed out their adventurous boats into the Atlantic, and in the dawn of Northern history we find them already settled in the Orkney and Shetland Isles, whence they raided and settled southward to Caithness, Fife, and Northumbria on the east, and to the Hebrides, Galloway, and Man on the western coast. Fresh impetus was given to this outward movement by the changes of policy introduced by Harald Fairhair, first king of Norway (872-983). Through him a nobler type of emigrant succeeded the casual wanderer, and great lords and kings' sons came over to consolidate the settlements begun by humbler agencies. Iceland was at the same time peopled by a similar stock. The Dane, contemporaneously with the Norseman, came by a different route. Though he seems to have been the first to invade Northumbria (if Ragnar and his sons were really Danes), his movement was chiefly round the southern shores of England, passing over by way of the Danish and Nether land coast up the English Channel, and round to 'the west.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Ballad Criticism in Scandinavia and Great Britain During the Eighteenth Century Grundtvig's Opportunity came in connection with an edi tion of ballads which the Society for the Promotion of Dan ish Letters had for some time been preparing to publish. Grundtvig, who, as early as 1843, had joined with another young student in a circular asking for ballad texts and tunes, and who, in 1842 - 46, had gained attering notice by his translation of Engels/re 0g shots/re Fol/revise); took occasion on the invitation of the Society, to present, in 1847, a prospectus setting forth his principles with reference to the proper editing of ballads, and giving examples of the treatment he meant to apply to the individual numbers.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Danes in Lancashire and Yorkshire The story of the 'childhood of our race' wh'o inhabited the counties of Lancashire and Yorkshire before the Norman Conquest, is an almost blank page to the popular reader of to-day. The last invaders of our shores, whom we designate as the Danes and Norsemen, were not the least important of our ancestors. The History of their daring adventures, crafts and customs, beliefs and character, with the surviving traces in our language and laws, form the subject of this book. From the evidence of relics, and of existing customs and traditions, we trace their thought and actions, their first steps in speech and handicraft, and the development of their religious conceptions. Our education authorities have realized the fact that Local Names contain a fund of history and meaning which appeals to the young as well as to the adults; and the county committees have been well advised to recommend the teaching of History and Geography from local features and events. Some articles written by the late Mr. John Just, m.a., of Bury, on our early races, and elements of our language and dialect, formed the incentive to the writer to continue the story Of our Danish ancestors. To the following writers we are indebted for many facts and quotations: H. Colley March, Esq., M.D W. G. Collingwood, Scandinavian Britain W. S.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume forms part of a five volume set charting the progress of the nineteenth century movement, which was instrumental in establishing international guidelines for the teaching of modern languages. It was during this period that for the first time, co-operation between phoneticians and teachers culminated in the publication of works that were instrumental in establishing the 'applied linguistic' approach to language teaching in the twentieth century. For the first time, too, the new science of psychology influenced a scientific theory of second language acquisition. The Reform Movement attracted support across Europe, spurring the development of new professional associations and journals. In turn, the publication in these journals of reports of innovative practice contributed to a greater sense of autonomy and professionalism among modern language teachers, who had hitherto tended to live under the shadow of classical language teaching. The practical innovations and theoretical suggestions for the foreign language teaching, although rooted in the nineteenth century, still have relevance today.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Norse-Folk: Or a Visit to the Homes of Norway and Sweden To an American, a visit to the home of the old Northmen is a visit back to his forefathers house. A thousand signs tell him he is at the cradle of the race which leads modern enterprise, and whose Viking-power on both hemispheres has not yet ceased to be felt. In giving a sketch of a journey among the Norse-Folk, it has seemed me that there were two sides which should most of all interest their descendants and kinsmen in the New World: one, the associations and memorials which connect them with the age when the wild energy of the race was transplanted to the British Islands, and even touched briefly in its enterprises the coasts of America; and the other, the life of to-day. When one puts his mind into the position of reading a book of travels, an author should not give him instead, dry historical details; still, glimpses and scenes of the past, side-views into the misty perspectives of early history, suggestions, quaint superstitions, relics which keep the busy present in connection with a far-away time, can surely be properly presented in the traveller's journal. In this view, while I have given free play to the memories which constantly and naturally, through various associations, bring back the saga-period and the days of the early Norsemen, I have left out of view the modern history, glorious as it is, of the Scandinavian States. The main object of this book, however, is not historical, but simply to picture the life of to-day. It has seemed to me possible to present a country and its people with something of the personal and living interest with which they come before a traveller.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from An Account of the Danes and Norwegians in England, Scotland, and Ireland IN the spring of 1846, his late Majesty Christian VIII. Of Denmark determined that an inquiry should be made respecting the monuments and memorials of the Danes and Norwegians which might be still extant in Scotland and the British Islands. His Majesty was the more con firmed in this design as two distinguished British noblemen, his Grace the Duke of Sutherland, and his brother Lord Francis Egerton (now Earl of Ellesmere), had repeatedly stated in their letters to the Royal Society of Northern Antiquaries that, if a Danish archaeologist visited Scot land, he should receive all possible assistance, especially in Sutherland, a district so rich in Scandinavian antiquities. His Majesty did me the honour to intrust this task to me; and the President of the Royal Society of Northern Antiquaries, and of the Royal Committee for the preserva tion of the national monuments - our present most gracious sovereign Frederick VII. - having, with a lively zeal for the promotion of the inquiry, furnished me with several letters of introduction, I travelled during a twelvemonth (1846-1847) in Scotland, Ireland, and England; where, partly through the personal kindness of the Duke of Sutherland and of the Earl of Ellesmere, and partly by means of their influential names, I invariably met with the best reception and the most valuable assistance in my researches.
