The "Old English Chronicle", of which there are seven manuscripts, a record of events in England from the sixth century to 1154, was meanwhile being written in the monasteries, undisturbed by the many changes passing over England.
Old English literature was practically unknown to him, but he was saturated with French poetry, for the literature of France was then, outside the classics, the most influential in Europe.
Satire, as always in the decline after a rich imaginative period of verse, came to the front as subject-matter for verse, and later in the century the scathing verse of John Skelton (1460?-1529), though poor as art, is of interest in the light it throws upon the social life of the times.

 Adam Lindsay Gordon - Plagiarism on Wikipedia
Born in the Azores of an old Scottish family, his father was a retired army captain who later became professor of Oriental languages at Cheltenham College.
It was said that his Headmaster at Worcester had awoken his interest in the classics and inspired him to write.
In despair of his son's waywardness, his father sent him to South Australia in 1853 where Gordon found he was excellently adapted to the lifestyle and opted to join the mounted police rather than present his letters of introduction.

The new binding is far more pleasing than the old; and in some cases, where the notes and introductory memoirs had fallen out of date, new editors have been set to work, with satisfactory results.
The two forms are both of great age, as the old rhyme bears witness-- "Carew, Carey and Courtenay, When the Conqueror came, were here at play"-- and the name was often written "Carey" or "Cary," as in the case of the famous Lucius Carey, Lord Falkland, and his descendants.
In Cornwall, however, where spelling is often an untrustworthy guide to pronunciation (I have known people to write their name "Hix" and pronounce it as "Hic"--when sober, too), it was written "Carew" and pronounced as "Carey"; and there is not the slightest doubt that this was the case with our poet's name.

The old ways, like the mass, were quasi-dramatic and the observance of the regular change of seasons was a real, tangible experience, whereas dogma and theology were perceived as less consequential than that seasonal renewal by the flock, which lived close to nature.
Since the new churches were actually old Roman temples or new edifices on old pagan sites, and since the pagan calendar had been adapted to reflect old festivals, it seemed natural, or at least comfortable, that "folk drama" also become associated with and performed in the church precinct as well.

The Archbishop of Canterbury is commonly called the Primate of all England; and in the coronations of the kings of this land, and all other times wherein it shall please the prince to wear and put on his crown, his office is to set it upon their heads.
Unto these deanery churches also the clergy in old time of the same deanery were appointed to repair at sundry seasons, there to receive wholesome ordinances, and to consult upon the necessary affairs of the whole jurisdiction if necessity so required; and some image hereof is yet to be seen in the north parts.
But if a man should seek out where all those church lands which in time past did contribute unto the old sum required or to be made up, no doubt no small number of the laity of all states should be contributors also with us, the prince not defrauded of her expectation and right.

Composed 1921, Vaughan Williams's Mass reverted to the `old school' tradition of a cappella polyphonic style - a breakthrough in modern composition." Not closely associated with the church, Vaughan Williams was described by his wife Ursula as "a cheerful agnostic." Yet, he had a profound empathy for church music.
For conductor, scholar and singer of fame Andrew Carwood, "this duality between the `modern idiom' and the `old liturgical spirit' lies at the heart of the composition's success.
Its polyphonic, a cappella structure sounds very old, despite the fact it was composed in 1921.
