Written in honour of Professor Huw Pryce, this volume brings together exciting new research on writing and performing the history of Wales, from the Middle Ages to the modern period. Each chapter offers a different perspective on the theme of historical writing and remembrance. The first section (Texts and their Histories) focuses on the creation and function of medieval historical texts; a wide range of texts are investigated here, including chronicles and narrative histories, charters, and the Welsh triads. The second section (History and Identity) concerns the relationship between writing history and identity construction; chapters consider different aspects of this theme, including the role of bishops in writing history and the use of names to construct ethnic identities. The third and final section (Memory and Nation) widens the lens to investigate strategies of remembrance and the performance of history; this includes essays on the Eisteddfod, tattoos of historical individuals and the role of historical pageants in twentieth-century nation building. Taken together, the contributions to the volume offer new insights into Welsh historical writing and perceptions of the past throughout the ages.Acknowledgements / Diolchiadau List of Figures and Tables / Rhestr o Ffigyrau a Thablau Abbreviations / Byrfoddau Notes on Contributors / Bywgraffiadau Cyfranwyr Introduction / Rhagymadrodd PART I: TEXTS AND THEIR HISTORIES RHAN I: TESTUNAU A’U HANES How did medieval Welsh chroniclers find their information?

" Je défais mon drapeau qui était enroulé autour de ma poitrine. Je me souviens du premier jour où il nous fut remis, frais et brillant, avec son inscription en lettres dorées : “Défenseurs de la République” ; comme nous étions enthousiastes ce jour-là. Je me souviens des luttes que nous avons soutenues à l'ombre de ses plis flottants au vent lorsqu'il reçut les cinq premières balles, ses glorieuses blessures ranimaient notre courage. […] Que de héros morts en le contemplant ! Maintenant, c'est moi qui dois le brûler ! Notre drapeau renaîtra de ses cendres ; alors l'idée renouvelée et plus vivace que jamais, mieux comprise, aidera la marche du progrès vers un avenir social meilleur et plus humain. " Publié initialement en 1909, ce texte de Victorine Brocher (1839-1921) est l'un des rares et forts témoignages de femme du peuple, issue d'une famille militante, ayant traversé les insurrections de 1848 et de 1871. Ambulancière pendant la Commune, elle relate en une langue simple des événements vécus dans sa chair : le Second Empire, le siège de Paris, les privations, la mort de ses enfants, les espoirs nés avec la République sociale, la Semaine sanglante, l'exil et la survie enfin. « Victorine B. (de son vrai nom Victorine Brocher, 1839-1921) : une femme du peuple, une Parisienne. Elle a connu, elle a intensément vécu deux révolutions : celle de 1848 et celle de 1871. Elle était encore enfant lors de la première. Sous l’Empire, elle a, avec son mari, participé, dans un milieu très populaire, aux activités des internationalistes. Elle a vécu la Commune comme l’explosion de la colère du peuple contre toutes les trahisons de la bourgeoisie. »

Mark Twain, le rappeur Jay Z, Marion Zimmer Bradley, George Romero, Robert Taylor, Alexandre Astier, John Fitzgerald Kennedy, Jack Kirby, Lawrence d'Arabie, John Boorman, les Kinks, les Who, Jackie Kennedy, Steven Spielberg, John Steinbeck, Terry Gilliam, Winston Churchill, Éric Rohmer, Alan Stivell, le rappeur Fianso, tous ont en commun d'avoir été influencés par la légende du roi Arthur.Inventée au Moyen Âge, celle-ci a longtemps été l'apanage des nobles et des souverains qui s'en servaient comme modèle ou comme justification de leurs conquêtes. En grande partie ignorée aux XVIIe et XVIIIe siècles, elle fait un retour fracassant sur le devant de la scène en Angleterre au début de la révolution industrielle. Mais c'est surtout grâce à la culture populaire américaine que se diffuse le mythe de la Table ronde : cinéma, romans illustrés, musiques rock et folk, bande dessinée (notamment les super-héros), et plus récemment jeux de rôles et jeux vidéo.Ces médias donnent un sens nouveau à la geste arthurienne. On a vu ainsi apparaître des Arthur anticolonialistes, des Lancelot en lutte contre le communisme, des Merlin écologistes, des Morgane féministes.La légende de Camelot, ici décryptée de façon savante et passionnée, semble en passe de devenir l'un des premiers mythes mondialisés, traversant les continents et les cultures pour mieux questionner les peurs et les espoirs des sociétés contemporaines. William Blanc est médiéviste et spécialiste en médiévalisme, c'est-à-dire qu'il s'intéresse principalement aux représentations et utilisations contemporaines des figures médiévales. Il est l’auteur de cinq livres chez Libertalia, et coauteur du Dictionnaire de la fantasy (Vendémiaire).

This edited collection is the first volume to consider potential new insights afforded by the Russo-Ukrainian War that could be salient for Western defence officials and planners. The contributors reflect on what are likely to be important issues that need to be addressed in order to ensure that Western armed forces are capable of deterring Russia. Closely examining how the war is being fought throughout the battlespace, the chapters avoid falling into the trap of making determinative statements about which developments might be trendsetters or are ‘new’ aspects of modern war.  Rather, and given that this conflict apparently is far from over, the contributors eschew determinism and instead offer open-ended and clear-eyed analysis of what is playing out on the ground.  Individual chapters address the following lines of analysis, among others, arising from the war: - Russian thinking on warfare and how it has been misunderstood by many in the West, as well as judging Russian military performance as simply being represented in numerical results. - Manoeuvre, and the growing importance of urban areas in land warfare. - Developments in the delivery of kinetic force (land, air, maritime and cyber) and operational fires. - Longer-term effects of Russia’s rejection of the law of war and its systematic breaches of international legal norms by actively attacking non-military targets (economic, infrastructure, cultural assets), and the implications of this for NATO’s logistic formations and higher-level policy. - Communications—both field signals and strategic narratives.Introduction: The scope of the Russo–Ukrainian War Jarosław Gryz and Thomas-Durell Young DOI: 10.47788/EGCI4249 1.

A comparative approach to gender across the North-South divideIn an insightful exploration of gender relations during the Civil War, Nina Silber compares broad ideological constructions of masculinity and femininity among Northerners and Southerners. She argues that attitudes about gender shaped the experiences of the Civil War’s participants, including how soldiers and their female kin thought about their “causes” and obligations in wartime. Despite important similarities, says Silber, differing gender ideologies shaped the way each side viewed, participated in, and remembered the war.Silber finds that rhetoric on both sides connected soldiers' reasons for fighting to the women left at home. Consequently, although in different ways, women on both sides took up new roles to advance the wartime agenda. At the same time, both Northern and Southern women were accused of waning patriotism as the war dragged on, but their responses to such charges differed. Finally, noting that our postwar memories are often dominated by images of Southern belles, Silber considers why Northern women, despite their heroic contributions to the Union cause, have faded from Civil War memory.Silber’s investigation offers a new understanding of how Unionists and Confederates perceived their reasons for fighting, of the new attitudes and experiences that women — black and white — on both sides took up, and of the very different ways that Northern and Southern women were remembered after the war ended.
