Proceedings of the Harvard Celtic Colloquium has in its purview all
aspects of culture, language, and history of the Celtic peoples,
from ancient to modern times. PHCC, 31 features "Culture, Identity
and the Medieval Revival in Victorian Wales," the 2011 J. V.
Kelleher lecture given by Huw Pryce of Bangor University, Wales,
which looks at Victorian views of the past in Wales. The volume
also considers the linguistic shifts in several of the Celtic
languages, both in early periods and more recent times, and it
contains articles concerning the history, culture, and literatures
of Ireland, Wales, and Cornwall. In addition, PHCC, 31 includes
several articles on historiography in various areas and times, as
well as others that examine later reflections on the Easter Rising
in Ireland (1916), the renewed interest in regional language in
Cornwall, the historic reflexes of the title Bragmaticus, and
literary reflexes of archaeological remains in medieval Wales.
The study of Boethius's medieval reception has enjoyed a resurgence
of interest in recent years, with the publication of new editions,
translations, databases, and research reshaping our understanding
of his profound influence. This study offers the first holistic
survey of the reworkings of the Consolation in medieval England,
surveying the Old English Boethius together with Chaucer's Boece
and a host of understudied interlocutors for the first time in a
volume of this kind. Arranged into sections on "earlier" and
"later" periods, The Legacy of Boethius argues for a reassessment
of the medieval English Boethian tradition as a 600-year continuum
in vernacular reading and readership.
