Biography Edward the Confessor's Abbey Edward the Confessor's Abbey Westminster Abbey was rebuilt and greatly enlarged by King Edward the Confessor (who reigned from 1042-66), the last monarch of the old West Saxon ruling dynasty. It was Edward who made Westminster the royal capital of England. Harold II swearing an oath on sacred relics before William of Normandy, to support his claim to the English throne on the death of Edward the Confessor As a nine-year-old boy, in 1013, Edward had seen England conquered by the Danes. He had fled to Normandy, his mother's homeland, where he spent 28 years in exile, while England was ruled by Danish kings. In Normandy, Edward was greatly impressed by the new Romanesque style of architecture. Romanesque churches were massive, with thick walls, bulky piers (pillars), small windows with rounded arches and tall, chunky, square towers. The rebuilding of Westminster Abbey would give Edward the chance to introduce this new grand style to England. During his exile, Edward vowed to St Peter that, if he regained his kingdom, he would go on a thanksgiving pilgrimage to the saint's tomb in Rome. On becoming king in 1042, Edward was dissuaded by his council from going on the pilgrimage, and he asked the Pope to release him from his vow. The Pope agreed on condition that Edward restored the abbey of St Peter at Westminster. Edward was happy to do this and he settled in Westminster, where he built a new palace.

Ecology Hall of Fame Edward Abbey Ecology Hall of Fame Abbey Biography Extracts ... Web Links Abbey earned his place in the Ecology Hall of Fame with two books and one extra-literary creation. The first book, Desert Solitaire, is a classic of environmental literature, combining nature writing, the philosophy of life and death, and political observations regarding freedom, democracy, and the management of National Parks. The other book, The Monkey Wrench Gang, created a whole new branch of the environmental movement. All those who espouse non-violent social protest in the tradition of Ghandi's satyagraha must consider Abbey's heros as their prototypes. But Abbey's greatest creation was Cactus Ed, his own public personna. Though in many ways he was a quiet scholar and fine craftsman as a writer, he recreated himself as a brawling revolutionary, shocking conservative audiences and frustrating environmental allies by throwing beer cans out the window as he drove at high speed through the desert he assailed others for despoiling.

The Late Edward Abbey - Beloved Desert Anarchist A few quotes from a legendary man for you to enjoy. Nobody will get shot for disagreeing with anything he says. Society is like a stew. If you don't keep it stirred up, you get a lot of scum on top. Freedom begins between the ears. A patriot must always be ready to defend his country against his government. The purpose and function of government is not to preside over change but to prevent change. By political methods when unavoidable, by violence when convenient. The true, unacknowledged purpose of capital punishment is to inspire fear and awe - fear and awe of the State. Hierarchical institutions are like giant bulldozers - obedient to the whim of any fool who takes the controls. Anarchism is not a romantic fable but the hardheaded realization, based on five thousand years of experience, that we cannot entrust the management of our lives to kings, priests, politicians, generals, and county commissioners. The distrust of wit is the beginning of tyranny. Recorded history is largely an account of the crimes and disasters committed by banal little men at the levers of imperial machines.

19. AN INTERVIEW WITH EDWARD ABBEY... Transcript of an interview conducted by Eric Temple in December 1982, with a photo. http://www.canyoncountryzephyr.com/archives/abbey-interview.html

AN INTERVIEW WITH EDWARD ABBEY... What follows is the transcript of an interview conducted by Eric Temple with Ed Abbey in December 1982. The interview took place in the cabin behind Abbey's Tucson home and was videotaped for a program produced by KAET-TV in Phoenix, Arizona. Portions of the interview were made into a half hour program called "Edward Abbey's Road" which aired in Arizona and many PBS stations nationwide in 1983. Thanks to Clarke Abbey for permission to print this excerpt. ET) What do you see as the major environmental problem in Arizona right now? EA) Progress. Development, Growth, Industryeverything that the politicians and the chamber of commerce loves, I'm against. I think it's gradually destroying Arizona, and I don't think it will surviveI think we're using up our resource base, especially water, much faster than it can ever be replaced. Therefore, unless some sort of technological miracle saves us, I imagine that Phoenix and Tucson will be small towns again, and probably very nice places to live. I was just reading a very good book by Charles Bowden, "Killing the Hidden Waters" which goes into this subject in great detail, historical and geological. He describes how the Papago Indians survived out here simply by living off the land, mainly hunting and gathering. Surviving on surface watera few springs and flash floods for farming, and they got by for 10, maybe 20 thousand years. 'Course they didn't create what most of us would consider a very brilliant civilization, but they had a satisfying way of life and were probably as happy as most modern Americans.

A FEW WORDS IN FAVOR OF EDWARD ABBEY By Wendell Berry Hayduke Speaks - The living legacy of Ed Abbey Reading through a sizable gathering of reviews of Edward Abbey's books, as I have lately done, one becomes increasingly aware of the extent to which this writer is seen as a problem by people who are, or who think they are, on his side. The problem, evidently, is that he will not stay in line. No sooner has a label been stuck to his back by a somewhat hesitant well-wisher than he runs beneath a low limb and scrapes it off. To the consternation of the "committed" reviewer, he is not a conservationist or an environmentalist or a boxable ist of any other kind; he keeps on showing up as Edward Abbey, a horse of another color, and one that requires some care to appreciate. He is a problem, apparently, even to some of his defenders, who have an uncontrollable itch to apologize for him: "Well, he did say that . But we mustn't take him altogether seriously. He is only trying to shock us into paying attention." Don't we all remember from our freshman English class how important it is to get the reader's attention ? Down the River in The Nation of May 1, 1982. In it, Mr. Drabelle accused Mr. Abbey of elitism, iconoclasm, arrogance, and xenophobia; he found that Mr. Abbey's "immense popularity among environmentalists is puzzling" and observed that "many of his attitudes give aid and comfort to the enemies of conservation."
