Welsh culture has a different spiritual architecture. This made it it especially appealing to English Romantic poets, who retain a special influence in Anglo-Welsh poetry. The work of Edward Thomas, Dylan Thomas and Idris Davies (among others) will supply, in this course, a new context for the study of Romanticism. more special subjects... Full course description For most of the non-Welsh, Wales is an undiscovered country. Its population, at around three million, is considerably smaller than that of central London and not much bigger than that of the single county of Essex . Much of the land is mountainous and cannot be extensively built upon, so that two thirds of Wales is decidedly rural, having scarcely changed, visually and culturally, for centuries. There are more castles and chapels in Wales than in any other country in the world. The South-East of Wales , however, was heavily industrialised in the late nineteenth century, becoming the chief international exporter of steel and coal and attracting a large influx of workers from England and Ireland . This had two important long-term effects. First, two-thirds of the population of Wales is now concentrated in the three south-Welsh cities of Newport, Cardiff and Swansea . Second, the dominance of the Welsh language was decisively undermined.

WELSH CULTURE THE DRAMATIC HISTORY OF ITS ANCIENT ORIGINS By Ellis Griffith G EOGRAPHICALLY, Wales is on the western side of the British Isles, bounded by the sea on three sides, and by England on the fourth. Some of the most ancient and interesting castles in Great Britain are found along this border - I am never sure whether they were built to keep the English out or the Welsh in, but there they are, some just gaunt ruins, but others excellently preserved as national monuments. Like other ancient Celtic cultures, Wales was a matriarchy. Perhaps that is why only the women have a national costume. Although Wales is no longer thought of as a matriarchal society, "Our Man" is still a pretty powerful lady. Ask any Welshman. The Welsh language, Cymraeg , is a member of the Celtic branch of the Indo-European languages. It is an old language, and was the ordinary spoken language of the people of Britain before the Roman occupation and throughout the 400 years of that occupation. Even as it is spoken today, it is likely that Welsh could have been fairly well understood by the Britons who fought Julius Caesar in 55 B.C. It stems from a Celtic language which probably had its beginning in the upper Danube valley and from there spread in many directions over Europe and even to Galatia in Asia Minor. That was some centuries before ancient Rome started on her career of imperial expansion.

Reprints This article from: Intelligence , Vol. 24 (3) - Fall 2002 Current Issue: Subscribe A Wale of a Problem The Welsh National Assembly JONATHAN CHANVEZ is a Staff Writer at the Harvard International Review. When the British Parliament created a Welsh Assembly in 1999, the goal seemed simple enough: to allow some self-rule in Wales in hopes of stopping the violence associated with the Welsh independence movement of the 1970s and 1980s. The move was the first significant modern step in the centuries-old conflict between the Welsh and the English over control of Wales. The analysis of what a Welsh Assembly meant differed vastly between the English and the Welsh. In England, politicians hoped that allowing home rule in Wales and Scotland would help quell the flames of independence and allow for a more stable United Kingdom. Welsh nationals saw the move as the first step in securing their cultural history and language from the encroachment of the English. However, since the creation of the Welsh Assembly in 1999, the clash over the political identity of Wales has created the potential for violence that the founding of the assembly was meant to stop. The modern Welsh independence movement began in earnest in the 1950s when groups such as Y Gweriniaethwyr (Free Wales Army) started to form small armies. Between 1979 and 1984 over 100 violent attacks were attributed to the group Mudiad Amddiffyn Cymru (Movement for the Defense of Wales). This led to the emergence of a political movement for Welsh autonomy. Welsh nationalism was not new to the independence movements of the postwar era; the political party Plaid Cymru had been a powerful force in Welsh politics since its formation in 1925. Its purpose had been to provide a challenge for the British parties active in Welsh politics but with movements for autonomy strengthening, the nature of Welsh nationalism fundamentally changed. No longer was Plaid Cymru simply content with challenging major British political parties; it became a party focused on protecting the cultural and national heritage of Wales.

Contact us Cashing in on Welsh culture Sep 27 2004 By Eryl Crump, Daily Post ANGLESEY declared itself "fully booked" when 100,000 visitors converged on the island last May for the Urdd National Eisteddfod. Tens of thousands of youngsters, their parents and supporters of Europe's biggest youth festival joined crowds of half-term holidaymakers as no vacancies signs were put up in hotels, cottages and campsites. Similar signs appeared in the Llangollen area during the International Music Eisteddfod in early July. In Gwynedd and Anglesey hotels and restaurants have cashed in on Bryn Terfel's Faenol Festival since it was launched four years ago. Last month more than 130,000 people attended the National Eisteddfod at Newport. But the impressive crowds were not enough to prevent the festival incurring a loss. Our unique culture attracts thousands of people to Wales - yet another reason to save our National Eisteddfod.

"The event has modernised and continues to do so, in particular to appeal to younger people." The Wales Tourist Board's research has found that "cultural tourism" is a growing market giving the tourism industry, one of Wales' biggest industries, a regular boost.

It follows, that social banditry is most likely to appear during periods of crisis or rapid change when these

Being brought up in Wales is fun, Wales has a lot of history behind it's culture. I really never expected to find an American Husband, I always thought I'd stay close to home. But things change when your in love with someone half way across the world. There are so many great traditions of Wales that I'll miss dearly. These are just a few I have researched and in which I were brought up in my Welsh Childhood. The following are my own personal experiences and my own knowledge of Welsh Culture! [ The Eisteddfod ] [ Love Spoons ] [ The Welsh Language ] [ Saint Davids Day ] ... [ UK National Holidays and Traditions ] The Eisteddfod - Most towns and villages all around Wales conduct an annual Eisteddfod each year. The Eisteddfod is basically a competiton, which translates as "Chairing" Normally the winner is awarded a chair on which he/she is ceremoniously crowned. Winners of the local Eisteddfods go on to compete on a county or regional level, eventually reaching the "Royal National Eisteddfod of Wales" (Eisteddfod Genedlaethol Cymru) in which they compete with others from all parts of the country. The National Eisteddfod is the largest folk festival in Europe. It is normally held in a different town on the first week of August each year. Alternating between a venue in South Wales one year and North Wales the next, it draws vast crowds to enjoy its week-long activities. Activities often include folk dancing, creative dancing, poetry readings, and many more. Love Spoons - The centuries old Welsh custom of giving love spoons meant that a would-be suitor gave a spoon as an indication that he desired to court a particular girl. A girl may therefore have received several spoons from as many suitors. Today lovespoons are given for many reasons and to mark many occasions; the marriage of a couple, the arrival of their child, a wedding anniversary, a birthday, a christening, Valentine's Day, Christmas, to mark a success of some sort e.g. a Graduation, and "favours" for the guests at a wedding.

Daffodils Leeks Though a part of the United Kingdom and in union with England since , the nation of Wales has managed to preserve its own distinctive culture , including its language holidays and music Wales is primarily represented by the Welsh Dragon , but other national emblems include the leek and daffodil . The Welsh words for leeks ( cennin ) and daffodils ( cennin Pedr , lit. "(Saint) Peter's Leeks") are closely related and it is likely that one of the symbols came to be used due to a misunderstanding for the other one, though it is less clear which came first.

St. David's Day is celebrated throughout the country on March 1st , which some people argue should be a public holiday in Wales (although others disagree).
