The orthodoxy of the 'N-Town' playsFreemantle, David John Gale January 2001 (has links)
This discussion of the religious and other teaching in the 'N-Town' plays is supported by close examination of the complex manuscript. I show that the scribe who wrote most of the plays worked in three stages:- first the text from the start of the Passion to the Last Words, then the rest of the plays, and finally substantial revision of this initial recension; some decades later a reviser amended sections of text, apparently for performance. Catechetical teaching and exceptional Marian devotion feature in all stages of compilation and recension. After considering the state of the codex before the present binding, I argue that it comprised several subsidiary booklets until the later 17th century. The writers of individual plays are shown to have used a number of orthodox sources, two of which have not been identified before. The Ten Commandments follow a late 14th. century summa called Cibus Anime and the Passion uses an extended (rather than the original) version of the Northern Passion. The importance of Peter Comestor's Historia Scholastica is greater than previously noted, and anti-heretical features of Nicholas Love's Mirror of the Blessed Life of Christ may be specially significant. All the identified sources are discussed in general terms (including their respective availability), and I examine how in adapting them the compilers avoided material with no scriptural provenance. Considered as a whole the sources imply that those who worked on the plays were regular clerics. Features of the catechetical and other teaching are considered separately, i.e. the Trinity, the Seven Deadly Sins, the Decalogue, the Seven Sacraments (both as a theological concept, and individually in the case of Baptism, Confession, Matrimony, and Eucharist), Mercy, and lay obligations. The teaching is reinforced by the treatment of obedience which, although present in all but two of the plays, is treated differently in the Passion episodes which take a theological view of the authority to which obedience is due. In order to contextualise the findings evidence for location is reviewed. Whilst the results of dialect analysis are broadly consistent with the generally acknowledged scribal origins in southern Norfolk, previously unnoticed textual evidence links two sections of interpolated material with Norwich, where I suggest the Carmelite priory as a possible place of origin. After reviewing Lollardy in the region I conclude that the plays respond to known heretic positions only as part of a wider address to the lay community as a whole.

Variation in present Norfolk Island speech: a study of stability and instability in diglossiaHarrison, Shirley January 1984 (has links)
Thesis (PhD)--Macquarie University, School of English and Linguisitics, 1984. / Bibliography: leaves 443-447. / Introduction -- The social setting of Norfolk speech -- Outline of analytical framework -- This study in relation to recent research into variation -- Collection of data and interview procedures -- Inventory of distinctive broad Norfolk features -- Study of Norfolk texts : diglossic speakers - varieties 1 and 2 (part 1) : special broad speakers -- Study of Norfolk texts : diglossic speakers - varieties 1 and 2 (part 2) : general broad speakers -- Study of Norfolk texts : modified broad speakers - variety 3 speakers -- Young Norfolk Island informants -- Analysis of young people's elicited data (part 1): grammatical structures -- Analysis of young people's elicited data (Part 2) -- Conclusion. / This thesis examines the behaviour of Norfolk Islanders in a particular language situation: in which the participants are Islanders, in which the purpose is understood to be informal conversation, and in which the setting is conducive to the speaker producing his/her natural vernacular. -- Emphasis on dialectal speech means that for some speakers types of Broad Norfolk are the object of investigation; for others Modified Norfolk is the dialectal variety. In the speech situation under study, all Islanders may be heard to shift through partial change of code into Modified Norfolk so that various stylistic patterns occur, dependent on the interaction of dialectal and situational factors. The analysis of such dialectal and stylistic variants as Norfolk Islanders employ in informal speech is of central interest in this work. -- Following on from an explanation of the social setting and analytical framework of the thesis, textual data of a number of Norfolk informants are examined; a set of propositions relating to the defining characteristics of diglossia, as enunciated by Charles Ferguson (1959), serves as reference points for the examination of each speaker's dialectal competence. Text analysis concentrates on the following principal areas of inquiry: / (1) Identification of the formal qualities of each speaker's dialect in relation to the distinctive features of old Broad Norfolk and location of his/her dialectal norms along the Broad Norfolk to Modified Norfolk continuum. (2) Inquiry into the degree of informants' conformity to the kind of diglossic stability which is typically demonstrated by older Islanders: the extent to which individuals reserve the use of their Norfolk and Norfolk English codes for separate dialectal and superposed purposes. (3) Speakers' code-variation in the Modified Norfolk continuum is examined: Firstly, to identify the linguistic configuration of mutated, merged and blended forms of Modified Norfolk, and Secondly, to analyse the meaning of Modified structures: whether they signify a stylistic shift pertaining to the speaker in relation to his language situation or whether they represent habitual, unmarked variants in the dialect of the speaker concerned. -- (4) Analysis of the dialect of old and young Norfolk Islanders is designed to demonstrate how maintenance and change are manifested in the present community; how their different types of code-variation relate to the dialectal-superposed norms of older diglossia; and how a range of stylistic meanings, determined by the interaction of dialectal/situational factors, is expressed within the Modified Norfolk continuum. Thus this study aims to provide a coherent interpretation of the uses of code-variation in a community of unstable diglossic practice so that it is possible to refer different types of variants to the basic diglossic framework. / Mode of access: World Wide Web. / viii, 449 leaves

Holocene evolution of the north Norfolk coastPearson, I. January 1986 (has links)
The surtace and subsurtace Holocene deposits ot the macrotidal barrier coast ot north Norfolk. between Hunstanton and Wevbourne. have been investisated bv a coordinated studv ot sedimentarv and foraminiteral parameters. 14 distinct sedimentarv and vesetational areas (environmental units) are recognisable from aerial photographs, trom which a map of their spatial distributions has been produced. Barriers are both prograding (Holkham Gap) and eroding (Brancaster to Thornham) due to variations in sediment supply and land reclamation. Present models of sediment movement underestimate the offshore supply to the coast. In particular the input of sediment to the Holkham Gap area from a easterly offshore movement. Removal of fine sand to the offshore zone occurs at channel inlets although westerly spit development of Blakeney Point has created an embayment at Stiffkey where finer sands accumulate. Barrier formation observed at Holkham Gap indicates the emplacement and stabilisation of beach bars to be a major formational process. Sedimentarv parameter ranges delineate silt based units but show considerable overlap between sand-based units. Foraminiferal species assemblages delineate 4 significant cluster groupings also separating silt based units but amalgamating sand based units into one cluster group. The environmental unit determination of subsurface samples was supplemented bv stratigraphic relationship interpretations for sand based units. 9 subsur~ace environmental units have been separated. (i) back barrier sand and dune. (ii) peat. (iii) inter-tidal gravel, (iv) inter-tidal sand, (v) channel sand, (vi) inter-tidal silty sand, (vii) inter-tidal mud and marsh creek, (viii) lower marsh and (ix) upper marsh.
