Description

Chaucer and the Norse and Celtic Worlds reveals surprising connections between Geoffrey Chaucer's medieval English poetry and Old Norse and Celtic literary traditions. McTurk's scholarly examination uncovers previously unidentified sources within early Irish tradition that influenced Chaucer's major works, particularly the House of Fame. The study revives compelling historical evidence that Chaucer visited Ireland between 1361 and 1366, a period crucial to understanding his literary development. By comparing Chaucer's poetry with Gerald of Wales's Topographia Hibernie, Snorri Sturluson's Edda, and Old Irish sagas including Fled Bricrend and Togail Bruidne Da D, McTurk demonstrates how Norse and Celtic narrative traditions shaped Chaucer's use of symbolic elements like eagles, dangerous thresholds, and literary humour. This Routledge publication offers new scholarly perspectives on medieval literary influence and the cross-cultural transmission of storytelling traditions across medieval Europe.

The House of Fame receives detailed analysis connecting eagles, perilous entrances, and poetic imagery to Gerald of Wales's Topographia Hibernie and Snorri Sturluson's Edda.

Old Irish sagas Fled Bricrend and Togail Bruidne Da D are examined as direct sources influencing Chaucer's narrative techniques and symbolic language.
