This short book is intended to serve as a practical guide to Gaelic language sources (as opposed to administrative or ecclesiastical records in Latin, French, or English) for the history of these communities in the high Middle Ages, laying emphasis on published texts for which English translations are available. Under six headings (annals, genealogies, poems, prose tracts and sagas, legal material, colophons and marginalia), it discusses not only the nature of the sources themselves, the purpose for which they were originally created, and their survival and availability to researchers, but also how to glean usable historical information from them.
The book is aimed for students of English literature and culture. Especially useful with such subjects as "Intensive Reading in British Literature" and "History of British Literature." This book surveys the evolution and development of English prose and poetry through the centuries: from before the early heroic epic, Beowulf, from times of pre-literate song and story, of Ogham inscription and Celtic, Gaelic and Anglo-Saxon myth, to Samuel Beckett's dramas, contemporary poets and novelists, and the upsurge of 'popular' writers of the modern times.
