The female protagonist, Pauline, is married to the son. There are no letters preserved from her, so the author lends Pauline a voice and attempts to correct an injustic done to this woman of the nineteenth century, the injustice of misunderstanding her, of forgetting her, or of never having taken note of her in the first place.

Seminar paper from the year 2006 in the subject Speech Science / Linguistics, grade: 1, University of Marburg, course: Walisische Sprache / Welsh, language: English, abstract: This paper aims at giving an evaluation of the "Camu at y Gymraeg" Welsh learning site, an online course in the Welsh language offered by the University of Wales, Lampeter. Although it is a relatively new player on the field of education, e-learning is seen by some as the solution to all problems faced by universities today and by others as the end of decent education itself. While a number of e-learning projects have been established so far and some amount of study has been conducted as to the optimisation of e-learning, few projects are being evaluated for their use, despite the fact that they quite often claim substantial budgets for their funding. This paper will examine the functionalities offered by the "Camu" course and in turn discuss their implementation and design, offering possible suggestions for improvement. A focus will be on the tools for communication, as this area is crucial for learner motivation and achievement.

Feinfühlig und ergreifend erzählt Renate Welsh Johannas Ge...
Seminar paper from the year 2007 in the subject English Language and Literature Studies - Linguistics, grade: 1,7, Dresden Technical University (Institut für Anglistische Sprachwissenschaft), course: Proseminar "Varieties of English", 11 entries in the bibliography, language: English, abstract: Long before the English language became dominant on the British Isles Celtic languages were the main method of communication.
