Disgrifiad cryno

Comparative study of medieval and early modern literature in the Celtic languages and consideration of the traditional intellectual framework for this study (i.e. the existence of a peculiarly Celtic type of literature) and of problems with this, particularly taking into account the origins of this framework in the Romantic period. Students will read a range of texts in translation and consider the similarities and differences between the literatures of the different languages, and the possible reasons for these (common inheritance, mutual influence, external influences, coincidence and so on).

Cynnwys

A series of 10 lectures on different aspects (the history of the discipline, the influence of Romanticism, questions of borrowing from one language to another, the problem of conservatism, court poetry, old ideas about the development of Indo-European literature (prosimetrum and so on), debates in Ireland about ‘nativism’ etc.). Also 10 textual seminars to read and discuss relevant texts.
