The course will also trace continuities in the storytelling of medieval Ireland and Wales with the culture of the Continental Celts of Antiquity, and will include examination of the role of literacy and the advent of Christianity on the islands’ native mythologies. The course assumes no prior familiarity with Celtic literature and history and all texts will be read in English translation.
