Description

Explore the evolution of Gaelic storytelling from AD 700 to the present day in this comprehensive volume from Boydell Press. This work examines the connections between medieval sagas, such as the Tain Bo Cuailnge, and the cautionary folk tales found in contemporary Gaeltacht areas. Readers will trace how pre-Christian motifs and ecclesiastical influences shaped a tradition that remains a cornerstone of Gaelic culture. The text covers the framework of stories that stay familiar to audiences today, including the exploits of Finn mac Cumhaill and the journeys of St Patrick. By examining the links between classical literature, poetic devices, and oral tradition, this book provides a deep look into how these narratives have been preserved and translated across more than a thousand years of history.
