  • Ffransis George Payne (1900-1992)

    Trefor M Owens, Trefor M OwenARTICLEFolk Life1992

    Ffransis G. Payne, who died at the age of ninety-one on 21 August 1992, was born in Kington, Herefordshire, where his father, a native of Cardiff, had opened a draper's shop in 1898. His childhood was spent in this small Border town which he was later to describe so memorably in some of the essays in Chwaryddion Crwydrol ac Ysgrifau eraill. This volume, which brought him to the attention of the Welsh-reading public in 1943, was hailed as a new We…

  • Community Studies in Wales. An Overview

    Open AccessTrefor M Owens, Trefor M OwenARTICLEEthnologia Europaea1984

    The author, after a brief discussion of their precursors, examines the community studies dealing with Wales which appeared before 1972. Alwyn D. Rees's pioneer study is analysed in terms of the historical and geographical scope of his findings. The four studies carried out by his students and published in a single volume reflect the use of varying sociological and social geographical approaches rather than a systematic development of the themes t…

    With the death of Dr Iorwerth C. Peate on 19 October 1982, the Society mourns the passing of its chief instigator, founder member and first president, as well as the leading figure in folk life studies in Britain.Iorwerth Cyfeiliog Peate was born in Llanbryn-Mair, Montgomeryshire on 27 February 1901. His first name commemorated the new King (in mistaken translation); his second name, more significantly, was that of his native district, the mediev…

    With the publication of our eighteenth volume of Folk Life we may be said to have come of age as a Society. We are, in fact, slightly older, having been established in September 1961. At our first full conference in 1962, our guest lecturer was Sigurd Erixon, Professor of Nordic and Comparative Ethnology in the University of Stockholm, who spoke on 'Folklife research in our time from a Swedish point of view'. In choosing the doyen of Scandinavian…

  • The Recording of Past Social Conditions

    Trefor M Owens, Trefor M OwenARTICLEFolk Life1966

    Despite the widespread use of the tape recorder in the recording of oral tradition in its, ‘set’ forms (i.e. songs, rhymes, tales and standardised sayings), its usefulness as an aid in research into past social conditions has not, as yet, been fully realised. Its importance in this respect equals that of the camera, but its use presents several difficulties, for the material which it can record is inchoate, ephemeral and subjective. Given the cer…
