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. 410 0$aPolitics, culture, and society in early modern Britain. 606 $aOral tradition$zGreat Britain 606 $aLiterature and folklore$zGreat Britain 607 $aGreat Britain$xLanguages 607 $aGreat Britain$xSocial life and customs 610 $aculture 610 $aoral 610 $afolklore 610 $alinguistics 610 $aGaels 610 $aGenealogy 610 $aLiteracy 610 $aOral tradition 610 $aScottish Gaelic 610 $aSpoken word 610 $aWelsh language 615 0$aOral tradition 615 0$aLiterature and folklore 676 $a398.0941 700 $aWoolf$b Daniel$4auth$0147302 702 $aFox$b Adam$f1964- 702 $aWoolf$b D.
