Beskrivning
Situates Celtic languages and literatures in relation to European movements, in the tradition of Helen Fulton's groundbreaking research.Professor Helen Fulton's influential scholarship has pioneered our understanding of the links between Welsh and European medieval literature. The essays collected here pay tribute to and reflect that scholarship, by positioning Celtic languages and literatures in relation to broader European movements and conventions. They include studies of texts from medieval Wales, Ireland, and the Welsh March, alongside discussions of continental multicultural literary engagements, understood as a closely related and analogous field of enquiry. Contributors present new investigations of Welsh poetry, from the pre-Conquest poetry of the princes to late-medieval and early Tudor urban subject matters; Welsh Arthuriana and Irish epic; the literature of the Welsh March - including the writings of the Gawain-poet; and the multilingual contexts of medieval and post-medieval Europe, from the Dutch speakers of polyglot medieval Calais to the Romantic poet Shelley's probable ownership of a Welsh Bible.

Recensioner i media

Medieval Welsh Literature and its European Contexts is a volume which (in words seldom used of a Festschrift) is enticing, exciting, dazzling. It will be long remembered for what those in it declare, especially as regards the twelfth-century Four Branches of the Mabinogi and the work of the Gawain poet.
