An introduction to Early Modern English, this book helps students of English and linguistics to place the language of the period 1500-1700 in its historical context as a language with a common core but also as one which varies across time, regionally and socially, and according to register. The volume focuses on the structure of what contemporaries called the General Dialect – its spelling, vocabulary, grammar and pronunciation – and on its dialectal origins. The bo… More >>

Introduced by Donald MacAulay.This indispensable anthology contains selections of the best work by Scotland’s most acclaimed modern Gaelic poets: Sorley Maclean, George Campbell Hay, Iain Crichton Smith, Derick Thomson and Donald MacAulay. Designed as much for English readers of Gaelic, the poems are presented with line-for-line translations. These translations have been made by the poets themselves, thereby maximising the retention of the sprit and form of the or… More >>
For instance, someone will ask about a Native American legend or Celtic myth and will get some modern version of the answer instead of the actual mythology.
When I say modern I mean something like the comic book version, or a version that was designed to suit a modern religious practice, rather than the folklore or myth that is traditional to the originating culture. (Many myths are readily available for anyone who wants to read them.)
I know stories change over time, but I am talking about versions that have absolutely nothing to do with the original folklore. For example, someone asks about fairies and I say “They are believed to be the souls of dead cats that belonged to politicians. They bring the ability to cook good food into all houses that are painted pink.” From what folklore tradition could I have possibly obtained this?
“I believe most original mythology is lost to nearly everybody but scholars or serious amateurs.” You mean, most don’t learn about it so they just make up alternate versions or go with anything they read anywhere?
I am talking about names that people who live in The Hebrides and Islands of Scotland name their children. I understand that they there may not be any modern Scottish Gaelic names. I am just curious.

I’m writing a thesis on celts in southeastern europe, and i’m nearly done. so now i wanted to add a short chapter on general celtic legacy to the world, i.e. what special skills did they leave to the prehistoric people of the time, especially some that are more or less originally used today.
i know, e.g. that the romans picked up their type of iron helmet and adapted it for their needs, and that essentially, that shape of helmet (or way of making one) was used up to the world war two, i know as well that they are the inventors of checkered patten of linen, as well as rotating pottery wheel…
as for the traditions and religion, i have enough materials to write about samhain being the basis for all hallows i.e. halloween, to write about the connection of their goddess brighid with the saint bridgit of catholic church, as well as the connections of catholic st. martin and some of their other beliefs…
now can anybody give me some other things i can write about that are connected to celts in that way? i mean that were present long way after they were conquered by romans… or even something that is present even nowadays in normal life of people..
ideas, please!!
