 Stevie Davies - John Donne
Stevie Davies challenges the traditional assumptions relating biography with the author's work, emphasising the Renaissance scepticism which brought all belief, including the 'self', into doubt.
However, her close, sensitive readings of individual poems allow for personal reactions to their profound emotion, whilst her exploration of the cultural, religious, and political circumstances which conditioned the poet's mind give bearings for study of his turbulent, brilliant intelligence.
Dr Davies challenges the tradition of male criticism which congratulates Donne on the 'virility' of his writing: she exposes his misogyny and the emotional conflict and vulnerability to which it attaches.

He declares that the Viking legacy is much greater than traditional historians admit, and that the Battle of Hastings in 1066 was not a famous showdown between the English and French, but an intricate scramble for the final Viking spoils in England (valiant English King Harold II was leader of the Anglo-Danish party).
Norman Davies tackles the history of the British Isles in a novel and refreshing way, for example using terminology for people and places that is linguistically and historically correct at every stage.
The Anglocentric historians he complains about were mostly dead by the turn of the 20th Century; English historians (and politicians) nowadays are bending over backwards to display their pro-Celtic, multicultural colours.

 Cymry Nationalism
According to Welsh historian John Davies, “Offa’s Dyke was perhaps the most striking man-made boundary in the whole of Western Europe.” For hundreds of years, to cross the ramparts from east to west meant bloody defiance, and signalled an attack on Wales itself.
Professor John Davies calls the Law of Hywel “among the most splendid creations of the culture of the Welsh,” for it contained proof, not only of the Welsh identity, but also of their unity.
I know what it is to eat both.” Many Welsh heeded Davies’ advice, and the repercussions are felt strongly today—only one in five of the inhabitants of Wales uses Welsh as a language of everyday affairs.
