Literature in Gaelic I: ‘A’ Ghàidhealtachd: to 1600’

University of Edinburgh

Research output: Chapter in Book/Report/Conference proceeding › Chapter

Abstract

This chapter is divided in two parts: before and after 1200. Naturally, all periodisations in literary history are fairly arbitrary, but 1200 is a meaningful inflection point here for linguistic reasons (as the conventional beginning of Early Modern Gaelic) as well as changes in the social structures and patronage of Gaelic intellectual life.
