Amcanion cyffredinol
The main aspects of ‘Celtic’ literacy in the middle ages will be studied, both poetry and prose, in a range of genres from the legends and court poetry to the laws and lives of saints etc. The focus will be on Wales and Ireland, but the other Celtic languages may be discussed as well. Also under consideration will be the continuation of these early traditions in the modern world and the twentieth century, and also what the literary evidence has to say about the attitudes of speakers of the Celtic languages towards the ‘Celtic’ concept itself. The students will develop a critical awareness of the primary resources which are represented and misinterpreted in a number of debates on ‘Celtic’ issues. The comparative element will assist students to look critically at the whole ‘Celtic’ tradition. Students will develop skills in a Celtic language (usually Middle Welsh).
