Is Beric a Briton?: the Representation of Cultural Identity in G.A. Henty’s Beric the Briton (1893) and Rosemary Sutcliff’s The Outcast (1955)
2009Co-Authors: Rachel JohnsonAbstract:This article is an investigation into differences in the representation of cultural identity represented in Beric the Britain by G.A. Henty (1893) and The Outcast by Rosemary Sutcliff (1955). G.A. Henty (1824-1902) and Rosemary Sutcliff (1920-1992) both present narratives of Britain under Roman invasion through the character of a young protagonist, initially perceived in both narratives as the product of a British tribal chieftain’s family with a clear cultural identity. Henty wrote in the second half of the nineteenth century at the height of imperial expansion when the sense of English cultural identity was strong. In contrast, Rosemary Sutcliff, writing post-empire, represents a more complex sense of identity. I investigate the mixed cultural identity of Sutcliff’s protagonist against the foundation of the exclusively British cultural identity of Henty’s Beric, thus foregrounding the increasing destabilization of cultural identity demonstrated in these two texts.

The Ancient Britons and Cronton, Lancashire
Northern History, 2020Co-Authors: Andrew BreezeAbstract:CRONTON (SJ 4988), formerly in Lancashire and now in Merseyside, is a village (with an old cross) two miles north of Widnes. It is recorded as Crohinton and Growynton in 1242, Crouington in 1246, and Crouwenton in 1333. These forms have puzzled scholars. Ekwall proposed an interpretation from Old English crawena tun, 'settlement of crows, homestead where crows gather', though he admitted that the lack of a in the first element counted against this; Mills doubtfully suggests 'farmstead at the place with a nook (Old English croh)'.1 Yet there seems a likelier solution. Cronton is four miles west of Penketh and Great Sankey, which have Celtic names. The first means 'wood end' (cf. Welsh pen and coed), the second may mean 'treader, trampler' (cf. Welsh sangi), originally referring to Sankey Brook.2 That may help us with Cronton. The first element seems equivalent to Middle Welsh crowyn 'shed for animals, sty, coop, kennel'. This is attested in the medieval Welsh laws, which declare that a sucking pig in its sty (parchell yn y growyn) is worth a penny.3 At Cronton there hence appears to be a Brittonic form meaning 'shed', probably for pigs, to which Old English tun 'farmstead' has been added. Such an interpretation would have parallels. Loose, south of Maidstone in Kent, has an English name meaning 'pig-sty' (Old English hlose).4 The hamlet of Cororion (SH 5968), near Bangor in North Wales (and figuring in the twelfth-century Four Branches of the Mabinogi), is 'Gwrion's sty (creu)'.5 The Cornish cognate of creu is krow, found on the map at Colgrease 'middle hut' (SW 7958), a farm near Newquay, Cornwall.6

Britons in West Derby Hundred, Lancashire
Northern History, 2020Co-Authors: Andrew BreezeAbstract:LANCASHIRE has many Celtic toponyms and almost no Anglo-Saxon archaeology. Maps make the point clear. One of pre-English toponymy will include the names of Cark, Cuerden, Haydock, Mellor, Penketh, Sankey, Treales, Werneth, Wigan, and so on, where the forms are evidently not English. The pattern is repeated by the element eccles (cf. Welsh eglwys ‘church’), with instances at Eccles near Manchester, Eccleston near St Helens, Eccleston near Chorley, Great Eccleston and Little Eccleston on the Wyre near Poulton, and Eccleshill near Darwen.2 These place-names are striking evidence for the early Celtic inhabitants of what is now Lancashire. In mute contrast are maps of Anglo-Saxon settlements and cemeteries for the pre-conversion period. On them, Lancashire is a blank.3 But can one say more on Lancashire’s Celtic toponyms? Very much so, it seems. Some years ago Pamela Russell, formerly of Liverpool University, set out the evidence they give for Britons in West Derby Hundred (one of the five medieval hundreds of southern Lancashire, effectively the coastal area between Mersey and Ribble). Her discoveries of Celtic place-names in the archives are significant, but her linguistic analysis needs revision. What follows thus has three functions: it examines her philological comments on Celtic and other toponyms; sets out implications of a revised account of them; and compares similar material from the rest of south Lancashire. It should thereby show what local place-names can tell historians and others. If it does, it provides an exercise repeatable for many other English hundreds, especially those in northern England. Pamela Russell’s paper comments on fifteen toponyms in West Derby Hundred and one outside it. The places concerned are Maghull, Alt, Broni Damfield, Incer Field, Dwerefield, Haydock, Ince, Walton (three times), Dowlache, Louchangile, Cundlache Bridge, Carketon, Brettargh Holt, and Bretland. They can be arranged in five geographical groups, as follows:

elaphus the Briton st germanus and bede
The Journal of Theological Studies, 2002Co-Authors: Andrew BreezeAbstract:Cet article s'interroge sur l'identite d'un certain Elaphus, evoque dans l'Histoire Ecclesiastique de Bede comme un notable breton (de Grande-Bretagne) rencontre par Germain d'Auxerre lors de ses missions contre les Pelagiens (Ve siecle). S'agit-il d'un chef celte, d'un Saxon ou d'un notable de tradition romaine?

association of a photoreceptor specific tetraspanin protein rom 1 with triton x 100 resistant membrane rafts from rod outer segment disk membranes
Journal of Biological Chemistry, 2002Co-Authors: Kathleen Boeszebattaglia, Janice Dispoto, Mary Anne KahoeAbstract:Abstract This study reports the isolation and characterization of a Triton X-100-resistant membrane fraction from homogenates of rod outer segment (ROS) disk membranes purified free of the surrounding plasma membrane. A portion of the ROS disk membrane was found to be resistant to Triton X-100 extraction at 4 °C. This detergent-resistant fraction was isolated as a low buoyant density band on sucrose density gradients and exhibited an increase in light scattering detected at 600 nm. Biochemical analysis of the Triton X-100-resistant fraction showed it to be enriched in cholesterol and sphingomyelin relative to phospholipid and in phospholipid relative to protein compared with the soluble fraction. The Triton X-100-resistant membranes described herein did not arise simply from partial solubilization of the ROS disk membranes because detergent-treated low buoyant density fractions isolated from homogenates with octyl glucopyranoside had cholesterol and sphingomyelin content indistinguishable from that of solubilized ROS disk homogenates. Analysis of proteins associated with the Triton X-100-resistant fraction showed it to be enriched in the rim-specific protein ROM-1 and caveolin; surprisingly, the fusion protein peripherin/rds (where rds is retinal degeneration slow), also localized to the disk rim, was entirely absent from the membrane raft domain. The lipid profiles of the Triton X-100-resistant membranes were virtually identical in preparations homogenized in either the light or dark. Slightly more ROM-1 was recovered from samples prepared in the light (23%) than from samples prepared in the dark (13%), but peripherin/rds could not be detected in either preparation. When the Triton X-100-resistant membranes were treated with methyl-β-cyclodextran to deplete membrane cholesterol, the resultant membranes contained slightly lower levels of ROM-1, specifically in the dimeric form. Cholesterol depletion also resulted in the collapse of the large caveolin complex to monomeric caveolae. The results presented herein characterize a pool of ROM-1, a photoreceptor tetraspanin protein, that may play a regulatory role in peripherin/rds-dependent fusion.

Britons in Anglo-Saxon England - Britons in Anglo-Saxon England
2009Co-Authors: N. J. HighamAbstract:The number of native Britons, and their role, in Anglo-Saxon England has been hotly debated for generations; the English were seen as Germanic in the nineteenth century, but the twentieth saw a reinvention of the German 'past'. Today, the scholarly community is as deeply divided as ever on the issue: place-name specialists have consistently preferred minimalist interpretations, privileging migration from Germany, while other disciplinary groups have been less united in their views, with many archaeologists and historians viewing the British presence, potentially at least, as numerically significant or even dominant. The papers collected here seek to shed new light on this complex issue, by bringing together contributions from different disciplinary specialists and exploring the interfaces between various categories of knowledge about the past. They assemble both a substantial body of evidence concerning the presence of Britons and offer a variety of approaches to the central issues of the scale of that presence and its significance across the seven centuries of Anglo-Saxon England.
