Now, it is ending. And with only one last step to go, I would like to acknowledge some of the many people to whom I owe so much. Should the list seem long, I offer only the explanation that the route to this end has been similarly long and that the manuscript that follows represents not merely a course of study but also an expenditure of life that I could not have imagined when I began and that, had I imagined it, would surely have persuaded me to choose another path. I'm glad I didn't. First, of course, I need to thank my supervisor, Dr. Anne Klinck for teaching me Old English, and for her many comments and contributions, her challenging questions, her patience in working with an often-temperamental grad student, her help with Latin, and her generosity in agreeing to work with me again after I had disappeared for five years without saying a word. Thanks are also due to my departmental readers, Drs. Christa Canitz of the UNB English Department and Andrea Schutz of the STU Department of English Language and Literature. Dr. Canitz's many comments on both the details of the manuscript and the structure and validity of the argument have been invaluable, and will continue to be so as the project is revised toward publication. Among Dr. Schutz's contributions are the recognition of the problematic nature of categories themselves, and a number of interesting connections between the gender argument and the cyborg argument. Without her support, especially where the latter argument is concerned, I would not have been able to write the dissertation that I wanted to write. V I would also like to thank the UNB examining committee members, Dr. Christoph Lorey of the Culture and Language Studies Department, Dr. John Geyssen of the Classics Department, and Dr. James Noble of the English Department (UNBSJ), for their interest in the project and for the time, thought, and effort they put into reviewing it. Dr. Geyssen deserves additional thanks for allowing me to audit his Latin class in 2004-05. I owe many thanks for many reasons to my external examiner, Dr. Ann Dooley of the Celtic Studies Department at the University of St. Michael's College, University of Toronto. The current project is in the culmination of a line of thought that I began to follow as an undergraduate in a seminar she conducted in Medieval Celtic Literature in 1990-91. It was she who introduced me to both the Tain Bo Cuailnge and the theories of Georges Dumezil, and her example, along with that of Dr. David Klausner of the U. of T. Centre for Medieval Studies, that inspired me to pursue Medieval Literature at the graduate level. That she was willing to be involved again so many years later is something for which I will always be grateful. I am also grateful to the UNB English Department as a whole for accepting me back after I had disappeared without notice for several years. The department, and particularly the members of the Graduate Committee in the spring of 2002, at that time headed by Dr. Mary Rimmer, treated me far better than I deserved. Director of Graduate Studies Dr. John Ball has also been very helpful, both in his capacity as an administrator and in directing me toward the work of Homi Bhabha, upon which much of the argument of Chapter Three hinges. I must also thank my students, colleagues, and friends at St. Thomas University for their ongoing interest and encouragement. In particular, I would like to thank Drs. Barry Craig and Sara MacDonald, my co-instructors in the Aquinas Programme. Our many classes on both the Iliad and the Aeneid over the last four years have contributed to my understanding of those works and thus to the development of this dissertation. The good will and frequent inquiries of Drs. David Ingham, Alan Bourassa, Kathleen McConnell, Elizabeth McKim, Ranall Ingalls, Shawn Narine, Mark Nyvlt, and Tom Bateman, Kitty Elton, and my students Meghan Loch and Brad Young, have meant a great deal to me. Past students whose good will has also been important include Grace Esty, Shawn Stevenson, Corinne Gilroy, and Darrel Rhodenizer, all of whom were members of the Medieval Literature course that I taught in 2003-04. I would also like to thank my closest friend, Joe DeSommer, not only for his good wishes but also and especially for our conversations, early on, on the topic of the hero as cyborg. It was in these conversations that the earliest form of that argument took shape. I am grateful, as well, to the late Dr. Larry Lane, who, had he survived, would have been a member of my dissertation committee. Dr. Lane's capacious and generous mind provided a model to be both admired and followed, and his suggestions in the early stages of this project, in which he showed great interest, are here thankfully acknowledged. Some of the best advice I ever received came long ago from my friend and early mentor Dr. Kathleen Scherf, formerly of the UNB English Department and now with the University of Calgary. On the topic of writing a thesis, Dr. Scherf once advised a room full of young graduate students always to remember that their work belonged to them, and that they should never hesitate to assert their ownership. Through following this advice, sometimes a little bull-headedly, I was able to maintain the integrity of my work vii despite the often-conflicting suggestions and demands that are inevitable in such a project. An undertaking such as this one is never just the result of study: it is the product of a life whose energy, texture, and currents underlie every page, paragraph, and punctuation mark. Any adequate list of acknowledgements must also, therefore, include my dear and whimsical friends Adam Nashman and Bryan Hachey. It must include the many members of UNB's Stage Left Theatre company between 1992 and 1997, particularly Eric Hill, Greg and Heather Doran, Paula Dawson, Matt Tierney, Melinda Arsenault, Tina Buott, Lance Ceasar, Steve Maclsaac, and Jon Jurmain.

Indeed, if it were not for one comparatively late manu- script now preserved outside Ireland, in the Advocates' Library, Edinburgh, we should have to rely for our knowledge of most of these stories almost entirely on Keating's History of Ireland. Under these circumstances it has seemed to me that I could hardly render a better service to Irish studies than to preserve these stories, by transcribing and publishing them, from the accidents and the natural decay to which they are exposed as long as they exist in a single manuscript copy only.

  • The Wooing of Emer and Other Stories
    The Ulster Cycle: The Wooing of Emer and other stories by Patrick Brown The fullest version of The Wooing of Emer is found in the Book of Leinster (c.1160) in a text dating from the tenth or eleventh century. An earlier, fragmentary version is found in several manuscripts, including Lebor na hUidre (the Book of the Dun Cow, c.1106). This retelling is based on both versions. Cú Chulainn’s Shield is an anecdote found in the manuscript H.3.17. This is my own translation, with thanks to Breandán Dalton, Dennis King, and especially David Stifter for their help and suggestions. The Death of Aífe’s Only Son is found in the Yellow Book of Lecan, compiled about 1390, but the language of the story dates from the ninth or tenth century. The Death of Derbforgaill is found in the Book of Leinster. The Elopement of Emer comes from the late 14th Century Stowe MS No 992. The Training of Cú Chulainn is a late, alternative version of Cú Chulainn’s travels and training. It is found in no less than eleven different manuscripts, the earliest being Egerton 106, dated to 1715. The Ulster Cycle: The Wooing of Emer and other stories © Patrick Brown 2002/2008 The Wooing of Emer A great and famous king, Conchobor son of Fachtna Fathach, once ruled in Emain Macha, and his reign was one of peace and prosperity and abundance and order. His house, the Red Branch, built in the likeness of the Tech Midchuarta in Tara, was very impressive, with nine compartments from the fire to the wall, separated by thirty-foot-high bronze partitions.

Bibliogrpahy 47 i INTRODUCTION Early Irish literature is romantic, idealised, stylised and gruesome. It shows a tension between reality and fantasy ’which seem to me to be usually an irresolvable dichotomy. The stories set themselves in pre-history. It presents these texts as a “window on the iron age”2. The writers may have been Christians distancing themselves from past heathen ways. This backward glance maybe taken from the literature tradition in Latin transferred from the continent and read by Irish scholars. Where the authors “undertake to inform the audience concerning the pagan past, characterizing it as remote, alien and deluded”3 or were they diligent scholars trying to preserve the past. This question is still debateable. The stories manage to be set in both the past and the present, both historical Ireland with astonishingly accuracy and the mythical otherworld.

Nagy, Chair is dissertation presents a study of the shared themes and parallel narrative structures of a set of stories about extraordinary birth. Stories about extraordinary birth form a universal story-type that displays widespread and striking similarities in narrative traditions throughout the world. Stories of this nature are typically told about various types of important persons, such as heroes, kings, gods, and saints, and have most frequently been treated within the context of the “heroic biography’’ paern. Because of how well-aested this type of story is in all narrative traditions, a comparison of birth narratives from different Indo-European mythologies offers an ideal case study in the comparison and reconstruction of aspects of the Proto-Indo-European mythological system. While my primary focus is on stories from Indo-European sources, and particularly from Celtic, Greek, and Indic myth, several non-Indo-European examples of this type of narrative are also included in my discussion.

  • Fosterage, Kinship, and Legend: When Milk Was Thicker Than Blood? PETER PARKES University of Kent
    Fosterage, Kinship, and Legend: When Milk Was Thicker than Blood? PETER PARKES University of Kent “Le lait va aussi loin que le sang!” dit un vieux proverbe Ossétien (Kovalevsky 1893: 213). “Milk is more significant that rod [agnation] . it lasts forever” (Filipovic´ 1982:131– 33). “Fostering is two-thirds of a child’s nature” (Irish proverb, cited in Gwynn 1913:106– 7). When social ties are put to the test, proverbs affirm, those of consanguinity usu- ally prevail: “Blood is thicker than water”; or as Arabs put it, “Blood is thick- er than milk” (Lane 1893:1097). These enigmatic adages refer to former insti- tutions of adoptive kinship in western Eurasia, contrasting the blood of natal kinship with the water of baptism or “spiritual kinship” in Christendom, and with infant fosterage or “milk kinship” in Islam.1 Other sayings, cited as epigraphs above, argue that the nurture of such adoptive kinship may match or supersede natal kinship, just as baptismal sponsorship was supposed to create a spiritual cognation superior to that of mere flesh and blood (Gudeman 1972; Guerreau-Jalabert 1995). Ritual kinship and milk kinship have comparable and connected social his- tories in western Eurasia, which were examined in earlier essays in this journal (Parkes 2001; 2003). But while Christian godparenthood has been well ex- plored in symbolic ethnography (Fine 1994; Héritier-Augé and Copet-Rougier 1995), the significance of infant fosterage seems poorly documented (cf.

Submitted in fulfilment of the requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy School of Humanities College of Arts University of Glasgow September 2017 Abstract This thesis explores a number of topics centred around the theme of memory in relation to medieval Irish literature roughly covering the period 600—1200 AD but considering, where necessary, material later than this date. Firstly, based on the current scholarship in memory studies focused on the Middle Ages, the relationship between medieval thought on memory in Ireland is compared with its broader European context. From this it becomes clear that Ireland, whilst sharing many parallels with European thought during the early Middle Ages based on a shared literary inheritance from the Christian and late-classical worlds, does not experience the same renaissance in memory theory that occurred in European universities from the thirteenth century onwards.
