Magisterarbeit aus dem Jahr 2006 im Fachbereich Geschichte Europa - and. Länder - Mittelalter, Frühe Neuzeit, Note: 1,0, Rheinisch-Westfälische Technische Hochschule Aachen, Sprache: Deutsch, Abstract: Die Geschichte von Wales im Hochmittelalter wird beherrscht von dem mehr als 200-jährigen Prozess der Eroberung des Landes durch die seit 1066 in England ansässigen Normannen. Da dieser Eroberungsprozess bis zum Ende des 13. Jahrhunderts unvollständig blieb, er wurde erst 1283 durch den englischen König Edward I. (1272-1307) vollendet, entwickelte sich Wales seit dem ausgehenden 11. Jahrhundert zu einem geteilten Land. Dem uneroberten freien Wales (Pura Wallia), grob dem Norden, stand das normannisch beherrschte südliche Wales gegenüber, welches bald als Walisische Mark (Marchia Wallie) bekannt war und eine vom nördlichen Wales unterschiedene Entwicklung nahm. Diese Mark von Wales, nicht Wales als Ganzes, ist die eigentliche Heimat des vermutlich bedeutensten aus Wales kommenden Schriftstellers des Mittelalters, die des Giraldus Cambrensis. Er entstammte der Ritterklasse der Mark und war mit seinen normannischen als auch walisischen Vorfahren und Verwandten ein echter Marcher, wie die Bewohner der Mark auch genannt wurden. Die vorliegende Arbeit will sich daher genauer mit der Walisischen Mark, der Person des Giraldus Cambrensis als Marcher und seinem Verhältnis zu seiner Heimat auseinandersetzen. Dies wird anhand dreier Leitfragen geschehen, denen jeweils ein eigenes Kapitel gewidmet ist:1) Was ist die Walisische Mark überhaupt?2) Wie hat die Herkunft des Giraldus Cambrensis aus der Mark seinen Werdegang und sein schriftstellerisches Werk beeinflusst?3) Welchen Blick auf die normannische Herrschaft in Wales spiegelt sich in seinem Werk?

"Von diesem grandiosen Klassiker des Wortweltmeisters Dylan Thomas waren sie alle begeistert- die Stones, die Beatles, Anthony Hopkins, Richard Burton, Igor Strawinsky - und ich auch!" Elke HeidenreichDas legendäre Werk des walisischen Dichters Dylan Thomas in einer neuen, funkelnden Übersetzung von Jan Wagner, der ,Unterm Milchwald' als das schönste Stück Literatur bezeichnet, "das jemals über den Äther lief". Der Morgen beginnt in dem kleinen Fischerdorf Llareggub an der walisischen Küste. Wir folgen den Bewohnern in ihre Träume, wir sitzen in den Stuben, hören die Gespräche in einer Schenke, lugen in die Brautkammern unverheirateter Mädchen, erfahren von den Wünschen des blinden Kapitäns Cat und folgen insbesondere den heimlichen Liebespaaren hinauf in den Milchwald. Eine einzigartige "Prosa mit Blutdruck", die von Bildern, Lautmalereien, Wortspielen schier zu bersten scheint.

One of the most beautiful buildings in Cardiff, the capital of Wales, is one of its least well-known: Nazareth House. Built by the Third Marquess of Bute, this outstanding example of ecclesiastical and Gothic Revival architecture stands as a monument to one of the most extraordinary figures in the history of this ancient city - and the enduring Faith of its people. The Very Rev. Fr. Sebastian Jones, superior of the Oratory of St. Philip Neri at Cardiff, examines the history of the design and architecture of the building, with an extensive and rigorous approach that is nonetheless readable and approachable. Featuring scores of drawings, including never-before-seen plans of the building, this book brings the reader into the world of nobility and clergy, nuns and orphans.
