A Waxing Moon: The Modern Gaelic Revival by Roger Hutchinson
Requirements: .ePUB, .PDF reader, 1.3 Mb
Overview: Thirty years ago, the Gaelic language and culture which had been eminent in Scotland for 1,300 years seemed to be in the final stages of a 200-year terminal decline. The language itself was commonplace only in the scattered communities of the north-west Highlands and Hebrides. By the early years of the 21st century, however, a sea-change had taken place. Gaelic—for so long a subject of mockery and hostility—had become what some termed "fashionable." Gaelic-speaking jobs were available; Gaelic-medium education was established in many areas; and politicians and business-people saw benefits in acting as friends of the culture. What had happened was a kind of renaissance—a Gaelic revival that manifested itself in popular music, literature, art, poetry, publishing, drama, radio, and television. This book looks at the phenomenon—as obvious as it was unexpected.
Genre: Non-Fiction > Faith, Beliefs & Philosophy
