Some, such as writing, are several millennia old. This book focuses on the relationship between speech and writing both within a single language, Welsh, and between two languages, Welsh and English. It demonstrates that the eighteenth-century Scottish clergy used the popular medium of Gaelic in oral and written form to advance the Gospel. The experience of literacy in early modern Wales was often an expression of legal and religious authority reinforced by the spoken word. This included the hearing of proclamations and other black-letter texts publicly read. Literate Protestant clergymen governed and shaped the Gaelic culture by acting as the bridge-builders between oral and literary traditions, and as arbiters of literary taste and the providers of reading material for newly literate people.Politics, culture, and society in early modern Britain.Oral traditionGreat BritainLiterature and folkloreGreat BritainGreat BritainLanguagesGreat BritainSocial life and customscultureoralfolklorelinguisticsGaelsGenealogyLiteracyOral traditionScottish GaelicSpoken wordWelsh languageOral traditionLiterature and folklore398.0941Woolf Danielauth147302Fox Adam1964-Woolf D.
