Description: "In Celtic literatures, noted for their acute sensitivity to tradition, the exercise of 'individuality' cannot be taken for granted. Are there individuals behind and in medieval Irish and Welsh texts? What is their relationship to the historical and cultural forces that shaped these literatures and our understanding of them? These are some of the questions addressed by the distinguished authors of the essays in The Individual in Celtic Literatures, the first issue of the Celtic Studies Association of North America Yearbook, a new periodical that seeks to foster cutting-edge scholarship and the exchange of ideas among Celticists throughout the world."--Jacket.
