The Saint Of Llanbadrig: A Contested Dedication, Deborah K.E. Crawford
e-Keltoi: Journal of Interdisciplinary Celtic Studies
Located on the Isle of Anglesey in northwest Wales, the medieval church of Llanbadrig is the pride of the nearby village of Cemaes, on Cemaes Bay. There is a strong local tradition that the church is dedicated to Patrick, Apostle of the Irish. However, reporting of that dedication has been divided between the patron saint of Ireland and one Padrig ab Alfryd, a saint associated with northern Wales. The issue of the dedication is important to the community of Cemaes. A resolution is also needed for scholarly purposes.

The Catalan Theatre Scene. A Story Of Survival, Sharon G. Feldman
Latin American, Latino and Iberian Studies Faculty Publications
The past four decades have been an exciting time for the Catalan stage. Barcelona has come into its own as a vibrant international theatre capital, and theatrical offerings in Catalonia are richer and more diverse than ever before. The process of recuperation, relegitimization and institutionalization of Catalan theatrical life that began during the period of transition from dictatorship to democracy has reached an impressive state of fruition and maturity. The situation is all the more astonishing when viewed in light of an historical context replete with political and economic constraints that have threatened to overwhelm and submerge, time and again, …

Theater Of War: Booth And Beyond, Valerie N. Merlina
The Gettysburg Compiler: On the Front Lines of History
Lastly, we come upon perhaps the best known actor of the Civil War era, John Wilkes Booth. Of course, the reason memory allows us to recall the name is not because of the merits achieved through his profession, but rather because he murdered the elected executive official – United States President Abraham Lincoln. Booth, a product of a theater family, was a dramatic, eccentric, and impatient being. He wanted the leading roles, did not want to prepare the role, but to simply play the role. His brother, Edwin Booth, a talented poetical performer, one might deduce, did prepare for his …

Theater Of War: Combining Entertainment And Art, Valerie N. Merlina
The Gettysburg Compiler: On the Front Lines of History
Did the theater work to benefit the causes for north or south, dependent upon region? Sautter stated that this phenomenon was less common than many might expect. Many actors stated their neutrality, or as one Civil War era actor said, “I am neither northerner nor southerner.” Still others simply responded to the war by leaving the country. One must consider the “clannish nature” of theater of the time in order to understand how actors could have taken the neutral role during a war of ideals: many actors were born into theater life, therefore did not grow up in any one …

Theatre Of War: A Witness To Love, Tragedy, And Parody, Valerie N. Merlina
The Gettysburg Compiler: On the Front Lines of History
Central to American nineteenth century life was the theater. As the fratricidal fighting of the American Civil War broke out and divided the nation, this centrality remained, and audiences crowded into the theaters. For both north and south, the theater provided an outlet through which Americans could enjoy plays, performances, music, and variety shows that appealed to all social classes of American society. However, in order to understand the operations of theater companies during the war itself, it is first essential to examine the state of the theater as a concept during the mid-nineteenth century, and in the pre-war years. …

Review Of Subject Stages: Marriage, Theater, And The Law In Early Modern Spain, 2014 Messiah College
Review Of Subject Stages: Marriage, Theater, And The Law In Early Modern Spain, Gladys Robalino
Modern Language Educator Scholarship
En Subject Stages, Carrión estudia la relación entre las leyes de la España contra reformista del XVI y XVII, el teatro y la institución del matrimonio. Yéndose en contra de la propuesta de José Antonio Maravall de que el teatro de la época era un mecanismo de propaganda de la monarquía absolutista católica, Carrión propone, a través del ejemplo del matrimonio, que varios escenarios públicos—incluyendo el teatro—resistían prescripciones diseñadas por la ideología dominante. Carrión trabaja sobre la premisa de que tanto los espacios legales (cortes judiciales), como los espacios teatrales (escenarios) de la España de la época revelan la existencia …
Editor's Introduction To Pandemic Disease In The Medieval World: Rethinking The Black Death, 2014 Arizona State University
Editor's Introduction To Pandemic Disease In The Medieval World: Rethinking The Black Death, Monica H. Green
The Medieval Globe
Extraction of the genetic material of the causative organism of plague, Yersinia pestis, from the remains of persons who died during the Black Death has confirmed that pathogen’s role in one of the largest pandemics of human history. This then opens up historical research to investigations based on modern science, which has studied Yersinia pestis from a variety of perspectives, most importantly its evolutionary history and its complex ecology of transmission. The contributors to this special issue argue for the benefits of a multidisciplinary and collaborative approach to the many remaining mysteries associated with the plague’s geographical extent, rapid transmission, …

New Science And Old Sources: Why The Ottoman Experience Of Plague Matters, Nükhet Varlık
The Medieval Globe
Reconstructing the Ottoman plague experience is vital to understanding the larger Afro-Eurasian disease zone during the Second Pandemic. This essay deals with two different aspects of this experience. On the one hand, it discusses the historical and historiographical problems that rendered this epidemiological experience mostly invisible to previous scholars of plague. On the other, it reconstructs the empire’s plague ecologies, with particular attention to plague’s persistence, focalization, and transmission. Further, it uses this epidemiological experience to offer new insights and complicate some commonly held assumptions about plague history and its relationship to plague science.
Plague Depopulation And Irrigation Decay In Medieval Egypt, 2014 Assumption College
Plague Depopulation And Irrigation Decay In Medieval Egypt, Stuart Borsch
The Medieval Globe
Starting with the Black Death, and continuing over the century and a half that followed, plague depopulation brought about the ruin of Egypt’s irrigation system, the motor of its economy. For many generations, the Egyptians who survived the plague therefore faced a tragic new reality: a transformed landscape and way of life significantly worsened by plague, a situation very different from that of plague survivors in Europe. This article looks at the ways in which this transformation took place. It measures the scale and scope of rural depopulation and explains why it had such a significant impact on the agricultural …
Diagnosis Of A "Plague" Image: A Digital Cautionary Tale, 2014 Arizona State University
Diagnosis Of A "Plague" Image: A Digital Cautionary Tale, Monica H. Green, Kathleen Walker-Meikle, Wolfgang P. Müller
The Medieval Globe
This brief study examines the genesis of the “misdiagnosis” of a fourteenth- century image that has become a frequently used representation of the Black Death on the Internet and in popular publications. The image in fact depicts another common disease in medieval Europe, leprosy, but was misinterpreted as “plague” because of a labeling error. The error was then magnified because of digital dissemination. This mistake is a reminder that interpretation of cultural products continues to demand the skills and expertise of humanists. Included is a full transcription and translation of the text which the image was originally meant to illustrate: …
