Pagan and Christian Dichotomy in Early Irish Literature
Palavras-chave:
Irish, Christian, Pagan.Resumo
Medieval Irish literature has been the object of much attention since the end of the nineteenth century, particularly the secular genres, due to their supposed origin in the pre-Christian oral tradition. The academic study on the subject has gone through several theories keen on reconstructing the pagan tradition, usually based on the view that it was kept intact in the extant literature. However, studies in the last few decades revealed evidence that Irish medieval society was already deeply connected with Christianity and that a powerful monastic tradition had control over any material used for the writing of the sagas. This study intends to analyze how the monastic literary endeavor dealt with a native tradition with pagan roots in order to fit the Christian present, going from the same logic of transition observed in the Old and New Testament to links between secular and hagiographical texts.Downloads
