Description

Explore the hidden connections between Geoffrey Chaucer and early Irish traditions in this scholarly work by McTurk. This book examines how Old Norse and Celtic elements appear in specific Chaucerian works, offering new perspectives on his literary influences. McTurk presents a compelling argument regarding Chaucer's potential travels to Ireland between 1361 and 1366. By looking at the timing of the Statute of Kilkenny, the author provides a fresh historical context for the poet's life and influences. Through a detailed study of House of Fame, the text identifies specific parallels found in the Topographia Hibernie by Gerald of Wales, Snorri Sturluson's Edda, and Old Irish sagas such as Fled Bricrend and Togail Bruidne Da D. Readers will find analysis on shared motifs including eagles, perilous entrances, and scatological jokes about poetry. This book is an essential resource for students and scholars interested in Celtic languages, Old Norse literature, and the historical roots of Middle English poetry.
