Book Synopsis The Gaelic Background of Old English Poetry before Bede by : Colin A. Ireland
Download or read book The Gaelic Background of Old English Poetry before Bede written by Colin A. Ireland and published by Walter de Gruyter GmbH & Co KG. This book was released on 2022-01-19 with total page 460 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Seventh-century Gaelic law-tracts delineate professional poets (filid) who earned high social status through formal training. These poets cooperated with the Church to create an innovative bilingual intellectual culture in Old Gaelic and Latin. Bede described Anglo-Saxon students who availed themselves of free education in Ireland at this culturally dynamic time. Gaelic scholars called sapientes (“wise ones”) produced texts in Old Gaelic and Latin that demonstrate how Anglo-Saxon students were influenced by contact with Gaelic ecclesiastical and secular scholarship. Seventh-century Northumbria was ruled for over 50 years by Gaelic-speaking kings who could access Gaelic traditions. Gaelic literary traditions provide the closest analogues for Bede’s description of Cædmon’s production of Old English poetry. This ground-breaking study displays the transformations created by the growth of vernacular literatures and bilingual intellectual cultures. Gaelic missionaries and educational opportunities helped shape the Northumbrian “Golden Age”, its manuscripts, hagiography, and writings of Aldhelm and Bede.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Poems in English, Scotch, and Gaelic: On Various Subjects Although it be true that every work must possess sufficient excellence in itself to recommend it to the notice of the Public, yet there are cases, in which some thing must be known of the circumstances of the Author, before a fair and proper estimate of his merits can be formed. The production of a poor and illiterate man is read with indulgence, and is justly considered as a curiosity rather than a subject of rigid criticism.
