This volume of the Proceedings of the Harvard Celtic Colloquium
offers a wide range of articles on topics across the field of
Celtic Studies. It includes the Colloquium keynote given by Prof.
Barbara Hillers which studied the literary use of folklore, Irish
and international, in the Irish tale “Aislinge Meic Con Glinne”
(“The Vision of Mac Con Glinne”). More recent literary topics
expand the scope of this volume from the medieval into the early
modern period, and into the early twentieth century. Of special
interest to scholars of more recent times will be articles on the
Irish language in nineteenth-century American print media, and on
the unpublished sequel by Muiris Ó Súilleabháin to his memoir
Fiche Blian ag Fás (1933), which was published in English as
Twenty Years a-Growing.
This volume of Proceedings of the Harvard Celtic Colloquium is
graced with two J. V. Kelleher lectures: the 2019 lecture by Máire
Ní Mhaonaigh on Irish chronicles and the 2021 presentation by
Ruairí Ó hUiginn assessing the Irish genealogical corpus in its
sociological context. It also includes Georgia Henley’s 2021
keynote on the differing literary receptions in Norman Ireland and
Wales of Geoffrey of Monmouth’s history of Britain and related
prophecies. Other articles in Volume 40 survey a wide array of
topics in Celtic Studies, centering on Irish and Welsh material
with the smaller language areas appearing as well, and ranging from
medieval to modern times. While most are literary or linguistic in
their focus, some historical context is also provided.
