query: The Beach Boys included a person.

pos: The Beach Boys The Beach Boys are an American rock band formed in Hawthorne , California , in 1961 . The group 's original lineup consisted of brothers Brian , Dennis , and Carl Wilson ; their cousin Mike Love ; and their friend Al Jardine . Distinguished by their vocal harmonies and early surf songs , they are one of the most influential acts of the rock era . The group , led by their principal songwriter and producer Brian , pioneered novel approaches to popular music form and production , combining their affinities for jazz-based vocal groups , 1950s rock and roll , and black R&B to create their unique sound . He later arranged his compositions for studio orchestras and explored a variety of other styles , often incorporating classical or jazz elements and unconventional recording techniques in innovative ways .   The Beach Boys began as a garage band managed by the Wilsons ' father Murry , with Brian 's increasingly sophisticated songwriting and recording abilities dominating their creative direction . Emerging at the vanguard of the `` California Sound '' , they performed original material that reflected a southern California youth culture of surfing , cars , and romance . After 1964 , they abandoned the surfing aesthetic for more personal lyrics and multi-layered sounds . In 1966 , the Pet Sounds album and `` Good Vibrations '' single vaulted the group to the top level of rock innovators and established the band as symbols of the nascent counterculture era . Following the dissolution of the group 's Smile project in 1967 , Brian gradually ceded production and songwriting duties to the rest of the band , reducing his input because of mental health and substance abuse issues . The group 's public image subsequently faltered , and despite efforts to continue their psychedelic/avant-garde ventures and reclaim their hippie audiences , they were dismissed as an embodiment of the values and outlooks shared by early 1960s white , suburban teenagers .   The continued success of their greatest hits albums during the mid 1970s precipitated the band 's transition into an oldies act , a move that was denigrated by critics and many fans . Since the 1980s , much-publicized legal wrangling over royalties , songwriting credits and use of the band 's name transpired . Dennis drowned in 1983 and Carl died of lung cancer in 1998 . After Carl 's death , many live configurations of the band fronted by Mike Love and Bruce Johnston continued to tour into the 2000s while other members pursued solo projects . Even though Wilson and Jardine have not performed with Love and Johnston 's band since their one-off 2012 reunion tour , they remain a part of the Beach Boys ' corporation , Brother Records Inc. .   The Beach Boys are one of the most critically acclaimed , commercially successful , and widely influential bands of all time . The group had over eighty songs chart worldwide , thirty-six of them US Top 40 hits ( the most by an American rock band ) , four reaching number-one on the Billboard Hot 100 chart . The Beach Boys have sold in excess of 100 million records worldwide , making them one of the world 's best-selling bands of all time and are listed at No. 12 on Rolling Stone magazine 's 2004 list of the `` 100 Greatest Artists of All Time '' . The core quintet of the three Wilsons , Love and Jardine were inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1988 .

In the UK , the album peaked at number 13 .   Many of the album 's songs were inspired by Transcendental Meditation and the group 's recent interactions with Maharishi Mahesh Yogi .

One single was issued from the album : `` Friends '' ( backed with `` Little Bird '' ) , reaching number 47 in the US .

neg: Boneyard Beach (album) Boneyard Beach is a 1995 album by Raleigh , North Carolina band Dish , led by singer and pianist Dana Kletter , on Interscope Records .

''   The album was not a commercial success and the group 's members moved on to other projects , however the album did garner favorable reviews . CMJ New Music reviewed the album saying Kletter 's vocals sounded like `` tomboy version '' of Natalie Merchant , while Trouser Press described the album as offering `` elegant , haunting melodies with nary a hint of excess sugar '' . Musician noted `` lush melodies and oblique lyrics '' . Music Hound described the sound of Dish as adding `` rocked-up guitar and drums '' to the sound of Kletter 's earlier project Blackgirls .

He is best remembered as their lead guitarist and as the youngest brother of bandmates Brian and Dennis Wilson .   Influenced by the guitar playing of Chuck Berry and the Ventures , Carl 's initial role in the group was that of lead guitarist and backing vocals , but he performed lead vocals on several of their hits , including `` God Only Knows '' ( 1966 ) and `` Good Vibrations '' ( 1966 ) . Unlike other members of the band , he often played alongside the studio musicians employed during the group 's critical and commercial peak in the mid 1960s . After Brian began withdrawing from the group , Carl was forced to take a more active production role , and he became the band 's musical director on stage from 1965 until his death from lung cancer in 1998 .   During the 1980s , he attempted to launch a solo career , releasing the albums Carl Wilson ( 1981 ) and Young Blood ( 1983 ) . Shortly before his death , he recorded material with Gerry Beckley and Robert Lamm , later released for the posthumous album Like a Brother ( 2000 ) .

neg: B-Girls (band) The B-Girls were a Toronto punk rock band from the first wave of punk in the late 1970s and early 1980s .

Rochas ) on vocals , Renee Chetsky ( guitar ) , Xenia Holiday ( guitar ) , Cynthia Ross ( bass ) and Rhonda Ross on drums . who would later be replaced by Marcy Saddy who had briefly played with the Demics .   The band had a sound that was closer to that of a 1960s Mersey Beat band than the usual loud and fast punk sound of the era which was also shown in their fashions which included go-go boots , tight leggings and matching sweaters .   The band gigged heavily locally with bands like Teenage Head , The Viletones and The Poles as well as opening for The Clash and The Undertones at an infamous Massey Hall gig where a riot broke out . After getting much press attention they relocated to New Yok where they would play with Blondie , The B52 's , The Romantics , Levi and The Rockats , Niki and The Korvettes , Richard Hell , Lee Dorsey , The Cramps , Joey Ramone , Joan Jett , Johnny Thunders , The Dead Boys and even Allen Ginsberg . Cynthia Ross would become engaged for a time to Dead Boys singer Stiv Bators .   In 1979 Greg Shaw , owner of Bomp ! Records signed them and recordings were made produced by Bob Segarini resulting in a single `` Fun At The Beach '' b/w `` B-Side '' which was also released in Europe . They also sang backup vocals on Blondie 's `` Autoamerican '' and Stiv Bator 's solo album . A video was shot for `` High School Dance '' ( A.K.A. `` Boys Are Drinking '' ) . Further demos were produced by Debbie Harry and Mick Jones but possible record or production deals with Bomp ! , I.R.S. Records and Phil Spector fell through . I.R.S. would instead sign the similar sounding Go-Go 's who were also fans of the B-Girls .   Line up changes would lead to Lucasta leaving after the single and being replaced by Xenia moving to vocals . Rhonda having already left and been replaced by Marcy Saddy who had previously played in the London , Ontario band Demics . The reformed band carried on until 1981 before breaking up and returning to Toronto .

neg: Beach house A beach house is a house on or near a beach , sometimes used as a vacation or second home for people who commute to the house on weekends or during vacation periods . Beach houses are often designed to weather the type of climate they are built in and the building materials and construction methods used in beach housing vary widely around the world .  Beach houses require special paint to protect them from the salt water . If a property is built on sand , it needs foundation with special requirements .   Beach houses are often associated with beach gardens with a special planting and a particular type of leisure use . One of the most famous twentieth century beach gardens was constructed by Derek Jarman at Dungeness , England . It celebrated local materials , native plants and the openness of the site . Other beach gardens have tried to create an isolated microclimate . Swimming pools are popular in beach gardens . American architect Andrew Geller designed sculptural beach houses in the coastal regions of New England during the 1950s and 1960s .   Popular places for beach houses in the United States includes the Jersey Shore , Long Island , California , Florida and coastal areas of New England , such as Cape Cod , Narragansett , and the Portsmouth area .

neg: Sunshine pop Sunshine pop ( originally `` soft pop '' ) is a subgenre of pop music originating in Southern California in the mid-1960s , although it only acquired the name later . Rooted in easy-listening , advertising jingles , and the growing drug culture , sunshine pop acts purveyed a lightly produced style that combined nostalgic or anxious moods with `` an appreciation for the beauty of the world '' .   It began as an outgrowth of the 1960s California Sound and folk rock movements , largely consisting of lesser-known artists who imitated more popular groups like the Beach Boys , the Mamas & the Papas , and the 5th Dimension . While the Beach Boys are noted as prominent influences , they rarely worked in the genre . Sunshine pop is characterized by lush vocals and light arrangements similar to samba music . In some ways the genre is similar to baroque pop music through being elaborate and melancholic , though it also crossed into folk pop and Brill Building styles .   Sunshine pop enjoyed mainstream success in the latter half of the decade , with many of its top 40 hits peaking in the spring and summer of 1967 , especially just before the Summer of Love . Popular bands include the Mamas & the Papas , the Turtles , and the Association . Other acts , like the Millennium , Sagittarius , and the Yellow Balloon were less successful but gained a cult following years later ; with albums like Begin ( 1968 ) and Present Tense ( 1968 ) highly sought-after on the collectors ' market .

neg: Robert August Robert August ( born 1945 ) is an American surfer and surfboard shaper . Raised in Seal Beach , California , he attended Huntington Beach High School where he was ASB President his senior year . He is most famous as one of the subjects of Bruce Brown 's 1966 surf documentary The Endless Summer , along with his friend Mike Hynson . The film follows the two around the world pursuing their hobby during the California offseason , meeting other surfers and discussing surf culture .   August picked up surfing in the 1950s , when the sport 's popularity had just begun to grow . His father , Blackie August , was also a noted surfer . His enthusiasm and his involvement in The Endless Summer influenced the growth of the sport over the following decades . His surfboards are sold under the Robert August Surfboards brand and are produced by Surftech , a company that manufactures lightweight epoxy surfboards . He continues to travel the world promoting surfing , and in 1994 , he was involved in the filming of The Endless Summer II , in which surfers Pat O'Connell and Robert `` Wingnut '' Weaver retrace the places visited by August and Hynson thirty years earlier .  He took part in the film Step into Liquid .

neg: Made in California Made in California ( 1962 -- 2012 ) is a compilation box set by the Beach Boys , released on August 27 , 2013 . The set is released through Capitol Records and is packaged in a form emulating a high school yearbook . The set contains six CDs with tracks that span the band 's entire career , including outtakes , demos , B-sides , rarities , alternate takes and versions , over 60 previously unreleased . It supersedes the theretofore career-spanning 1993 box set Good Vibrations : Thirty Years of The Beach Boys , which followed a similar premise .

neg: Chillwave Chillwave ( originally called `` glo-fi '' or `` hypnagogic pop '' ; also `` dream-beat '' ) is a style of music characterized by a faded or dreamy retro pop sound , mellow vocals , a low-to-moderate tempo , escapist lyrics about the beach or summertime , psychedelic or lo-fi textures , effects processing ( reverb especially ) , vintage synthesizers , and other attempts to loosely emulate 1980s electronic pop aesthetics as well as engage with notions of memory and nostalgia . Sometimes regarded as a `` made-up '' genre , the movement 's vanguard was represented by Neon Indian , Washed Out , and Toro y Moi , who gained critical attention through what was termed the 2009 `` Summer of Chillwave '' .   Coinciding with the economic turmoil of the late 2000s and early 2010s recession , chillwave was one of the first music genres to develop by being linked and defined through various outlets on the Internet rather than geographic location . The style draws from elements in dream pop and shoegaze , as well as the work of artists such as Panda Bear , Animal Collective , and lo-fi musician Ariel Pink . The term `` hypnagogic pop '' was coined at virtually the same time as `` chillwave '' to describe similar artists . Other elements related to drug-induced mind states and idyllic summer fantasies were drawn from the Beach Boys ' Brian Wilson . Washed Out 's 2009 track `` Feel It All Around '' remains the genre 's definitive and best-known song .   The term `` chillwave '' , which originated from the satirical blog Hipster Runoff in 2009 , was ultimately criticized for being nebulous and contrived . Some artists rejected the tag , while hundreds of others exploited the style 's low-budget simplicity , one of the major reasons for its decline . Media coverage usually derided the genre 's name , its reliance on nostalgia , and the ubiquitous mention of `` the summer '' in its writings . After chillwave was the subject of much discourse on websites like Gorilla vs. Bear and Pitchfork , the movement dissipated , and the style effectively fell out of vogue . The Internet-based microgenre vaporwave would be inspired by chillwave .

neg: Ocean Beach (album) Ocean Beach is the fourth studio album by Red House Painters , released in 1995 by 4AD .

Ocean Beach was also the last album to feature founding guitarist Gorden Mack , as well as being the band 's last studio album released by 4AD . The album features an unlisted hidden track , referred to as `` Brockwell Park ( Part 2 ) '' less than 20 seconds after `` Drop '' ends . The double 10 '' vinyl release of the album ( now long out of print ) features the band 's acoustic cover of Yes ' 1971 hit `` Long Distance Runaround . '' Kozelek would go on to record another version of the song ( with electric guitars and an extended outro ) for Red House Painters ' next album , Songs for a Blue Guitar .   A rarely seen music video was produced for the song `` Summer Dress . ''   An original idea for the album 's front cover artwork was a photo of what could be broken pews in an abandoned church , or old beds in an abandoned hospital ward .

neg: That's Not Me `` That 's Not Me '' is a song written by Brian Wilson and Tony Asher for American rock band the Beach Boys , the third track from their 1966 album Pet Sounds . It is a work influenced by psychedelic drugs that inspired Wilson to turn his attention inward and probe his deep-seated self-doubts . Wilson explained that the song `` reveals a lot about myself , just the idea that you 're going to look at yourself and say , ` Hey , now look , that 's not me , kind of square off with yourself and say ` this is me , that 's not me ' . '' It is the only track on Pet Sounds that resembles a conventional rock song .   The song 's structure contains multiple key modulations and mood shifts . On its recording , Mike Love shares lead vocal with Wilson , who plays the track 's prominent , buzzing organ . Brian 's brothers Carl and Dennis also contribute guitar and drums , respectively . Other band members sing backing vocals .

Grant has expanded his oeuvre with critically acclaimed turns as a cad in Bridget Jones 's Diary ( 2001 ) , About a Boy ( 2002 ) , and American Dreamz ( 2006 ) . Grant later played against type with multiple cameo roles in the epic sci-fi drama film , Cloud Atlas ( 2012 ) . He 's also known for appearing in period pieces such as The Remains of the Day ( 1993 ) , Sense and Sensibility ( 1995 ) and Florence Foster Jenkins ( 2016 ) .

Hallmarks of his comic skills include a nonchalant touch of irony/sarcasm and studied physical mannerisms , as well as his precisely-timed dialogue delivery and facial expressions . The entertainment media 's coverage of Grant 's life off the big screen has often overshadowed his work as an actor . Grant has been outspoken about his antipathy towards the profession of acting , and in his disdain towards the culture of celebrity and hostility towards the media . In a career spanning 30 years , Grant has repeatedly claimed that acting was not his true calling , but rather a career that unintentionally developed by happenstance .

neg: Mimi Maguire Katherine Harmonica Joy `` Mimi '' Tutton ( also Maguire ; born 4 October 1963 ) is a fictional character from the British Channel 4 comedy drama , Shameless . Mimi is the foul-mouthed , loud , brash and violent matriarch of the Maguire family . She is also a drug dealer on the Chatsworth Estate and is frequently seen selling drugs on the show . She is extremely violent and easily angered . She has `` headbutted '' several characters on the show including Lip Gallagher ( Jody Latham ) , Sue Garland ( Gillian Kearney ) , Cassie Western ( Moya Brady ) and even her own son , Shane ( Nicky Evans ) . Mimi is as hard as nails , and she can hold her own with men and women ; at one point during series 3 a whole riot squad is needed to restrain her after she attempts to free her daughter from incarceration at the police station . Mimi appeared in 111 episodes in total .   She is the wife of Paddy Maguire ( Sean Gilder ) and the mother of Mandy Maguire ( Samantha Siddall ) and the Maguire boys : Jamie ( Aaron McCusker ) , Shane , Micky ( Ciarán Griffiths ) , the late Fergal and the little-seen Joey ( Will Willoughby ) and Donny ( Clyve Bonelle ) , and the daughter of `` Nana '' Murphy . Her ex-boyfriend is also called Paddy . In Series 5 a more sensitive side to Mimi is introduced after her ex-boyfriend , Paddy , makes a crass comment about her weight . She describes herself as a `` bulimic who ca n't stand vomit '' . In the same series , she is shown attending anger management classes . In Series 6 , Mimi experiences some regret over her lack of education when her son Micky takes film classes . Mimi does most of his coursework for him , and when he decides the class is not for him , he allows Mimi to take his place .   Mimi is presented in the series as somewhat of a character who behaves in ways which are polar opposites . For example , she has no qualms about selling drugs to children and behaving in a violent manner . However , she also has maternal instincts and shows compassion for others . For example , when Chesney Karib ( Qasim Akhtar ) reacts badly after consuming drugs , she and Paddy care for Chesney by feeding him and ensuring that he recovers . Furthermore , when Chesney 's mother , Yvonne Karib ( Kelli Hollis ) accuses Mimi of being racist and intolerant , Mimi retorts by describing the large amount of racism that Paddy faced when he arrived in England from Ireland . Yvonne and Mimi realise that they share love for their own children and would do anything to ensure the happiness of their respective children . Lastly , Mimi is someone upon whom Libby Croker ( Pauline McLynn ) can depend when she seeks Mimi 's assistance .   The Maguire family 's drug dealing business comes to haunt them when Mimi 's beloved Paddy is abducted and forcibly addicted to heroin by the bereaved mother of one of their deceased customers . To make matters worse , she is arrested for an assault that her son Jamie carried out , though she openly wants to take the blame for the attack , claiming `` A mam 's got ta do what a mam 's got ta do '' . This is because she does not want to see her son go to jail again . At the end of series 6 , her beloved daughter Mandy is killed by the woman who got Paddy addicted to heroin . The strain of this loss causes Paddy and Mimi to split up .   In Series 7 , Mimi lives in The Jockey as the landlord and also has an affair with a friend of her son Micky called Billy Tutton ( Michael Taylor ) , until she finds out that he is only 14 years old , although he looks just as old as Micky . After the boy starts to blackmail Mimi into a secret relationship , Mimi tries to threaten him away from her , finally giving him a gun filled with blanks and daring him to shoot her . When he does , she pretends to be dead , and he flees Chatsworth .   Mimi attempts to join a local women 's group to feel better about herself , but they rebuff her attempts to appear in their risque charity calendar , and make her feel worthless . To add insult to injury , they ask Mimi to supply them with some party drugs to help loosen them up before the photoshoot . In revenge , Mimi gives them such a strong supply that they begin dancing around in their underwear and groping each other . Mimi sets up a pornographic website to display the shots .   Mimi gives birth to a newborn daughter , later named Cilla , at the end of Series 7 after complaining of stomach pains and nausea which scared her into believing she had started her menopause . Cilla was presumably fathered by her estranged husband Paddy . According to the Shameless website , Mimi will return to the Maguire house , with her baby daughter Cilla , in Series 8 . It is implied that she does not know who fathered Cilla because of her fling with the underage football star Billy .   Mimi returns to The Jockey with baby Cilla , marries Billy , where her full name is revealed , and lives happily ever after

neg: Duet Acting Duet Acting ( often shortened to `` Duet '' or abbreviated as `` DA '' in tournament schedules and results ) is an event in competitive high school forensics . Similar to Duo Interpretation , Duet Acting varies in two major respects : first , Duet is not an official National Forensic League event although some state organizations , such as the Texas Forensic Association , the Louisiana High School Speech League , and ( formerly ) the Ohio High School Speech League practice the event . Secondly , unlike Duo , in which the actors are not permitted to make eye contact with each other or touch each other , Duet incorporates an element of acting . Cuttings must be made from scripts .   Duet Acting involves two people , two chairs , and ( in some jurisdictions ) a table ; the furniture is supplied in each room of competition . Time limits vary , but generally each acting pair performs an eight - to twelve-minute scene , typically using only two characters . Occasionally the performers change roles , but can only play one character per scene in the manner of dramatic or humorous interpretation . The pieces may be either serious or funny , and the extensive use of movement is permitted ( i.e. , interaction between both characters , as well as with the table and chairs ) . Duet Acting has been removed from the Ohio High School Speech League .   Category : Debating

neg: Improvisational theatre Improvisational theatre , often called improv or impro , is the form of theatre , often comedy , in which most or all of what is performed is unplanned or unscripted : created spontaneously by the performers . In its purest form , the dialogue , action , story , and characters are created collaboratively by the players as the improvisation unfolds in present time , without use of an already prepared , written script .   Improvisational theatre exists in performance as a range of styles of improvisational comedy as well as some non-comedic theatrical performances . It is sometimes used in film and television , both to develop characters and scripts and occasionally as part of the final product .   Improvisational techniques are often used extensively in drama programs to train actors for stage , film , and television and can be an important part of the rehearsal process . However , the skills and processes of improvisation are also used outside of the context of performing arts . It is used in classrooms as an educational tool and in businesses as a way to develop communication skills , creative problem solving , and supportive team-work abilities that are used by improvisational , ensemble players . It is sometimes used in psychotherapy as a tool to gain insight into a person 's thoughts , feelings , and relationships .

query: Guinevere is found in medieval Welsh prose.

pos: Guinevere Guinevere ( -LSB- ˈɡwɪnᵻvɪər -RSB- Gwenhwyfar Gwenivar ) , often written as Guenevere or Gwenevere , is , in Arthurian legend , the wife of King Arthur . She first appears as Guanhumara ( with many spelling variants in the manuscript tradition ) in Geoffrey of Monmouth 's pseudo-historical chronicle of British history , the Historia Regum Britanniae , written circa 1136 AD . She is also found in medieval Welsh prose , in the mid-late 12th-century tale Culhwch and Olwen , as Arthur 's wife Gwenhwyfar . In medieval romances , one of the most prominent story arcs is Queen Guinevere 's love affair with her husband 's chief knight , Lancelot . This story first appeared in Chrétien de Troyes 's Lancelot , the Knight of the Cart and became a motif in Arthurian literature , starting with the Lancelot-Grail of the early 13th century and carrying through the Post-Vulgate Cycle and Thomas Malory 's Le Morte d'Arthur . Guinevere and Lancelot 's betrayal of Arthur preceded his eventual defeat at the Battle of Camlann by Mordred .

Born in South Wales , he moved to London with his family as a child , and was educated at Christ 's Hospital . In 1896 he lived in Dublin for a while , where he became friends with George William Russell . From 1908 to 1930 Morris lived in California as a member of staff of the Theosophical Society headquarters at Point Loma . The last seven years of his life were spent back in his native Wales , during which time he founded seven Welsh theosophical lodges . Morris  was a friend of Talbot Mundy , and the two writers often commentated on each other 's work in The Theosophical Path  magazine .   In the verdict of Ursula K. Le Guin , Morris appears as one of the three master prose stylists of fantasy in the 20th century , together with E. R. Eddison and J. R. R. Tolkien .

neg: Medieval literature Medieval literature is a broad subject , encompassing essentially all written works available in Europe and beyond during the Middle Ages ( that is , the one thousand years from the fall of the Western Roman Empire ca . AD 500 to the beginning of the Florentine Renaissance in the late 15th century ) . The literature of this time was composed of religious writings as well as secular works . Just as in modern literature , it is a complex and rich field of study , from the utterly sacred to the exuberantly profane , touching all points in-between . Works of literature are often grouped by place of origin , language , and genre .

neg: Dafydd Ddu o Hiraddug Dafydd Ddu o Hiraddug ( died 1371 ) , also known as Dafydd Ddu Athro o Hiraddug , was a Welsh language poet , grammarian , and cleric in the diocese of Llanelwy ( St Asaph ) . He was once believed to be the son of a certain Hywel ap Madog of Tremeirchion , but this has now been disproven .   Dafydd composed poems on religious themes ; his surviving work includes poems on the Ten Commandments , Salvation , and on the ephemeracy of human life and of God 's judgement to come after death . Dafydd is also thought to be the composer of the `` Gwasanaeth Mair '' ( Mary 's Service ) , a poetical translation of the Latin `` Horae beatae Mariae virginis '' ( a Book of Hours ) into Welsh .   Dafydd 's greatest fame lies with his revised edition of the llyfr cerddwriaeth or bardic grammar of Einion Offeiriad .   Dafydd was probably buried in Dyserth , north Wales .

neg: Chivalric romance As a literary genre of high culture , romance or chivalric romance is a type of prose and verse narrative that was popular in the aristocratic circles of High Medieval and Early Modern Europe . They were fantastic stories about marvel-filled adventures , often of a knight-errant portrayed as having heroic qualities , who goes on a quest , yet it is `` the emphasis on love and courtly manners distinguishes it from the chanson de geste and other kinds of epic , in which masculine military heroism predominates . '' Popular literature also drew on themes of romance , but with ironic , satiric or burlesque intent . Romances reworked legends , fairy tales , and history to suit the readers ' and hearers ' tastes , but by c. 1600 they were out of fashion , and Miguel de Cervantes famously burlesqued them in his novel Don Quixote . Still , the modern image of `` medieval '' is more influenced by the romance than by any other medieval genre , and the word medieval evokes knights , distressed damsels , dragons , and other romantic tropes .   Originally , romance literature was written in Old French , Anglo-Norman , Occitan , and Provençal , and later in Portuguese , in Castilian , in English , in Italian ( particularly with the Sicilian poetry ) and German . During the early 13th century , romances were increasingly written as prose . In later romances , particularly those of French origin , there is a marked tendency to emphasize themes of courtly love , such as faithfulness in adversity .

neg: Brut y Saeson The Chronicle of the Saxons ( Brut y Saeson ) is a Welsh-language chronicle running from 683 to 1197 . One manuscript attributes it to Caradog of Llancarfan .

neg: Old English literature Old English literature or Anglo-Saxon literature , encompasses literature written in Old English , in Anglo-Saxon England from the 7th century to the decades after the Norman Conquest of 1066 . `` Cædmon 's Hymn '' , composed in the 7th century , according to Bede , is often considered the oldest extant poem in English , whereas the later poem , The Grave is one of the final poems written in Old English , and presents a transitional text between Old and Middle English . The Peterborough Chronicle can also be considered a late-period text , continuing into the 12th century .   The poem Beowulf , which often begins the traditional canon of English literature , is the most famous work of Old English literature . The Anglo-Saxon Chronicle has also proven significant for historical study , preserving a chronology of early English history .   In descending order of quantity , Old English literature consists of : sermons and saints ' lives ; biblical translations ; translated Latin works of the early Church Fathers ; Anglo-Saxon chronicles and narrative history works ; laws , wills and other legal works ; practical works on grammar , medicine , geography ; and poetry . In all there are over 400 surviving manuscripts from the period , of which about 189 are considered `` major '' .   Besides Old English literature , Anglo-Saxons wrote a number of Anglo-Latin works .

neg: Prose Tristan The Prose Tristan is an adaptation of the Tristan and Iseult story into a long prose romance , and the first to tie the subject entirely into the arc of the Arthurian legend . It was also the first major Arthurian prose cycle commenced after the widely popular Lancelot-Grail ( Vulgate Cycle ) , which influenced especially the later portions of the Prose Tristan .   According to the prologue , the first part of the book ( i.e. everything before the Grail material ) is attributed to the otherwise unknown Luce de Gat , and were probably begun between 1230 and 1235 . The work was expanded and reworked sometime after 1240 . In the epilogue , a second author names himself as `` Helie de Boron , '' asserting that he is the nephew of the first author of the Arthurian Grail cycles , poet Robert de Boron . Helie de Boron claims , like the so-called authors of the Roman de la Rose , to have picked up the story where Luce left off . Neither the biographies of the two authors , nor the claim that they had been translating the work from a Latin original are taken seriously by scholars .

neg: Gwenc'hlan See Gwenc ` hlan Le Scouëzec for the modern author .   Gwenc ` hlan is the cognomen of a legendary 6th century Breton druid and bard called Kian , the subject and purported author of a Breton song called `` Diougan Gwenc ` hlan '' ( Gwenc ` hlan 's prophecy ) , published by Hersart de la Villemarqué in his 1839 anthology Barzaz Breiz .   In this song , Gwenc ` hlan is imprisoned after having his eyes gouged out for refusing to convert to Christianity , sings out that he is n't afraid to die and makes a prophecy wherein he will be avenged . The motive of the blinded prisoner is reminiscent of the historical fate of Boethius .   One Gwenc ` hlan or Guinclaff around 1450 wrote a `` chant royal '' , or `` Dialogue between King Arthur and Gwenc ` hlan '' , quoted by Dom Le Pelletier and Gregory of Rostrenen . The poem was rediscovered in 1924 . The Breton used by this Gwenc ` hlan is already deeply pervaded by French . The legend of the 6th century bard is largely a creation of de la Villemarqué 's , but he may have based his account on the 15th century author , as well as on other traditional Breton tales . He quotes 6th to 12th century Welsh poems attributed to the bards Aneurin , Taliesin and Llywarch Hen as his sources .

neg: Welsh literature in English Anglo-Welsh literature and Welsh writing in English are terms used to describe works written in the English language by Welsh writers . It has been recognised as a distinctive entity only since the 20th century . The need for a separate identity for this kind of writing arose because of the parallel development of modern Welsh-language literature ; as such it is perhaps the youngest branch of English-language literature in the British Isles .   Welsh writers in English have traditionally favoured the short story form over the novel for two main reasons : in a society lacking sufficient wealth to support professional writers , the amateur writer was able to spare time only for short bursts of creativity ; and , like poetry , it concentrated linguistic delight and exuberance . However , the genre did not develop in these writers much beyond its origin in rural sketches . Satire was avoided , and , since the main market was London publishers , the short stories tended to focus on the eccentricities ( as seen from a metropolitan viewpoint ) of Welsh life .

neg: Three Welsh Romances The Three Welsh Romances ( Welsh : Y Tair Rhamant ) are three Middle Welsh tales associated with the Mabinogion . They are versions of Arthurian tales that also appear in the work of Chrétien de Troyes . Critics have debated whether the Welsh Romances are based on Chrétien 's poems or if they derive from a shared original . Though it seems probable the surviving Romances derive , directly or indirectly , from Chrétien , it is probable he in turn based his tales on older , Celtic sources . The Romances survive in the White Book of Rhydderch and the Red Book of Hergest , both from the fourteenth century , though the material is at least as old as Chrétien .   The Three Welsh Romances are :   Owain , or the Lady of the Fountain ; which corresponds to Chrétien 's Yvain , the Knight of the Lion  Geraint and Enid , which corresponds to Chrétien 's Erec and Enide .  Peredur , son of Efrawg , which corresponds to Chrétien 's Perceval , the Story of the Grail

neg: Dewisland thumb | 250px | right | The cantref of Pebidiog in ancient Dyfed  The Hundred of Dewisland ( often written `` Dewsland '' ) was a hundred in the north west of Pembrokeshire , Wales . It was formed by the Act of Union of 1536 and was essentially identical to the pre-Norman cantref of Pebidiog : one of the seven cantrefs of Dyfed .   Named after Dewi Sant , the Welsh name for Saint David , Dewisland is in north-western Pembrokeshire , including the city of St David 's and the peninsula on which it stands . Almost all of the hundred was within the Marcher Lordship of the Bishop of St David 's , and St David 's was its civil and ecclesiastical headquarters . It was said to be divided into two commotes : Mynyw ( Latin : Menevia ) and Pencaer .   Dewisland boasts of being the only part of Wales never conquered by a foreign invader . The English before the Conquest did not get so far , and the Normans respected Dewisland as a possession of the Church , so that it was spared the fierce fighting which took place everywhere else when they conquered Wales . Nevertheless , it was occupied by the Normans in the 12th century , and made part of the March , but remained exclusively Welsh-speaking , except for small English plantations in the City of St David 's and at Abercastle and Letterston . These were extinct by the time of George Owen , who described the hundred as wholly Welsh-speaking .   The Petty Sessions for the hundred were held at Solfach .

neg: Cadfan Stone Inside St Cadfan 's Church , Tywyn , Gwynedd is an inscribed stone cross called the Cadfan Stone ( or the Tywyn Stone ) . On it are the earliest known inscriptions in the Welsh language , specifically in Old Welsh .   Recent scholarship dates the inscriptions to the 9th century . They were previously considered to be older . Ifor Williams dated them to the 8th century , and a late 7th century or early 8th century date was suggested by Kenneth H. Jackson . A date between the 7th century and the 9th century is suggested by Coflein , the website of the Royal Commission on the Ancient and Historical Monuments of Wales .   Originally the stone stood over 2.3 metres tall , but it now measures 2.18 m tall by 0.25 m and 0.2 m.   Below is the interpretation given in the most recent study of the stone ( sides A , B , C and D ) by Nancy Edwards .   A/D . Tengr ( um ) ui cimalted gu ( reic ) / Adgan / / anterunc du But Marciau  ` Tengrumui wedded wife of Adgan ( lies ) fairly near ( or very near ) to Bud ( and ) Marciau ( or But Marciau ) . '   A. m ( ortci ) c ar tr ( i )  ` The mortal remains of the three '   B/C . Cun ben Celen / / tricet nitanam  ` Cun woman ( or wife of Celyn ) , a mortal wound remains . '   C. mort/cic pe/tuar  ` The mortal remains of four '   Despite its undoubted significance , the Cadfan Stone has been given relatively little attention from Welsh authors and poets . Exceptions include the poems ` Cofebion Tywyn ' by Owain Owain and ' Y boen ' by Myrddin ap Dafydd .

neg: Tredegar House Tredegar House ( Welsh : Tŷ Tredegar ) is a 17th-century Charles II-era country house mansion in Coedkernew , at the western edge of the city of Newport , Wales . For over five hundred years it was home to the Morgan family , later Lords Tredegar ; one of the most powerful and influential families in the area . Described as `` The grandest and most exuberant country house '' in Monmouthshire and one of the `` outstanding houses of the Restoration period in the whole of Britain '' , the mansion stands in a reduced landscaped garden of 90 acre ( 0.14 of a square mile ) forming the non-residential part of Tredegar Park . The property became a Grade I listed building on 3 March 1952 and has been under the care of the National Trust since March 2012 .   The Welsh name of the house is nowadays `` Tŷ Tredegar '' , but this is somewhat unauthentic and is obviously a translation of `` Tredegar House '' . The name is merely `` Tredegar '' historically , or to cite an earlier form ( 1550 ) `` Tredegyr '' ( the form Tredegar shows the influence of the local Gwentian dialect of Welsh ) . A form more in keeping with Welsh naming practice , instead of tŷ , would be Plas Tredegar or Plas Tredegyr but it does not seem that this was ever in use either .   Tredegyr is `` farmstead of Tegyr '' ( tre , a form of tref = farmstead ) + soft mutation ( t > d ) + Tegyr . A Brythonic form * Tecorix ( fair king ) might be supposed , as such a form would have resulted in Welsh `` Tegyr '' following normal processes in the development of Welsh from Brythonic . There is a similar name in Denbighshire -- Botegyr , meaning `` Tegyr 's dwelling '' , < Bod Degyr < ( bod = dwelling ) + ( soft mutation t > d ) + ( Tegyr ) .

neg: Cyfraith Hywel Cyfraith Hywel ( -LSB- ˈkəvraiθ ˈhəwɛl -RSB- ; Laws of Hywel ) , also known as Welsh law ( Leges Walliæ ) , was the system of law practised in medieval Wales before its final conquest by England . Subsequently , the Welsh law 's criminal codes were superseded by the Statute of Rhuddlan in AD 1284 and its civil codes by Henry VIII 's series of Laws in Wales Acts between 1535 and 1542 .   Welsh law was a form of Celtic law with many similarities to the Brehon law of Ireland and particularly the customs and terminology of the Britons of Strathclyde . It was passed down orally by jurists and bards and , according to tradition , only first codified during the reign of Hywel the Good in the mid-10th century . The earliest surviving manuscripts , however , are in Latin , date from the early 13th century , and show marked regional differences . The law is only known to have been revised by a few rulers ( particularly Bleddyn ap Cynfyn , who was credited with revisions retained in the kingdom of Powys ) but was obviously updated by jurists in response to changing jurisdictions and circumstances , so that the surviving manuscripts can not be considered an accurate portrayal of Hywel 's first code .   Notable features of Welsh law include the collective responsibility of kindreds ( Welsh : cenedl ) for their members ; the gavelkind inheritance of land among all and only male descendants ; a status-based system of blood money ( galanas ) ; slavery and serfdom ; the inability of foreigners to naturalize earlier than the fourth generation ; and very lax treatment of divorce and legitimacy that scandalized the non-native clergy .

neg: Brut y Tywysogion Brut y Tywysogion ( Chronicle of the Princes ) , also known as Brut y Tywysogyon , is one of the most important primary sources for Welsh history . It is an annalistic chronicle that serves as a continuation of Geoffrey of Monmouth 's Historia Regum Britanniae . Brut y Tywysogion has survived as several Welsh translations of an original Latin version , which has not itself survived . The most important versions are the one in Robert Vaughan 's Peniarth MS. 20 and the slightly less complete one in the Red Book of Hergest . The version entitled Brenhinoedd y Saeson ( Kings of the English ) combines material from the Welsh annals with material from an English source .   The Peniarth MS. 20 version begins in 682 with a record of the death of Cadwaladr and ends in 1332 . The entries for the earlier years are brief , usually records of deaths and events such as eclipses , plagues or earthquakes , but later entries give much more detail . The main focus is on the rulers of the kingdoms of Gwynedd , Powys and Deheubarth , but ecclesiastical events are also mentioned , such as the bringing of the date of celebrating Easter in the Welsh church into line with Rome by `` Elbodius '' ( Elfodd ) , Bishop of Bangor , in 768 . Events in England , Ireland , Scotland and sometimes France are also briefly chronicled .   The original monastic annals are thought to have been written at Strata Florida Abbey , but may have been kept at the old abbey at Llanbadarn Fawr in the 11th century . Annals from other abbeys were also used in the composition . At least one of the Welsh translations is also thought to have been written at Strata Florida .

neg: Lanval Lanval is one of the Lais of Marie de France . Written in Anglo-Norman , it tells the story of Lanval , a knight at King Arthur 's court , who is overlooked by the king , wooed by a fairy lady , given all manner of gifts by her , and subsequently refuses the advances of Queen Guinevere . The plot is complicated by Lanval 's promise not to reveal the identity of his mistress , which he breaks when Guinevere accuses him of having `` no desire for women '' . Before Arthur , Guinevere accuses Lanval of shaming her , and Arthur , in an extended judicial scene , demands that he reveal his mistress . Despite the broken promise , the fairy lover eventually appears to justify Lanval , and to take him with her to Avalon . The tale was popular , and was adapted into English as Sir Landevale , Sir Launfal , and Sir Lambewell .
