Description

Explore the foundational myths of early medieval Britain and Ireland with this scholarly work from Cambridge University Press. This book examines how the inhabitants of these regions understood their own beginnings, focusing on the belief that four distinct peoples arrived from elsewhere to inhabit the land. By studying origin stories, this text provides insight into a genre that has helped shape national identity and collective history from the early medieval period through to the modern day. While these multilingual texts often share common characteristics, they have frequently been studied as four separate traditions. This work brings them together to show how they can be understood as a cohesive genre rather than isolated accounts. This book is an essential resource for readers interested in how historical narratives and legends contribute to the understanding of cultural roots and the development of regional identities in early medieval Europe.
