The Cambridge Guide to Global Medieval Travel Writing
The Middle Ages laid the foundations for the long European and Middle Eastern history of voyaging, colonialism, and expansion: the Papal embassies that took over a year of overland travel to reach Mongolia, Ibn Battuta's thirty years of voyaging to Africa and East Asia, or the arrival of European colonialism in the Americas. With a focus on medieval Europe, this is the first book to cover global medieval travel writing from Iceland to Indonesia, …

The Early Finn Cycle
It has become a scholarly cliche to say that narrative ‘cycles’ (specifically the ‘Ulster’, ‘Fenian’, ‘Mythological’, and ‘Kings’ Cycles) are an anachronistic way to talk about storytelling of the
Writing down the myths
"What are myths? Are there 'correct' and 'incorrect' versions? And where do they come from? These and many other related questions are addressed in Writing Down the Myths, a collection of critical studies of the contents of some of the most famous mythographic works from ancient, classical, medieval, and modern times, and of the methods, motivations, and ideological implications underlying these literary records of myth. While there are many work…

Observations on the Ossianesque in Medieval Irish Literature and Modern Irish Folklore
The Scotsman James Macpherson's treatment of Fenian tradition (stories centered on the figure of Fionn mac Cumhaill and his band of heroes) in his Ossianic poems is anticipated in key respects in the Fenian literature of medieval Ireland, particularly in the monumental text "Acallam na Senorach" ("Dialogue of the Ancients"). Among the shared features are the authorizing conceit that the written text is the extension of a disappearing oral traditi…

Sacred Narrative
Vengeful Music in Traditional Narrative
IN this paper I will be examining a cluster of story motifs and ideas relating to music and poetry that appears in several European narrative traditions of both the preChristian past and recent times. This cluster-which I call the Singing Bone Pattern-is to be found in stories that have to do with the invention of a special musical instrument. In these narratives, the instrument-or music in general-functions as a means of taking revenge and gaini…
Stoney Knows How
Stoney Knows How is an extended interview with 'Stoney' St. Clair, an ebullient little man with the gift of gab of a circus tout and a fund of bizarre stories about tattooing and other matters. One of these is the tale of a Florida snake handler and tattoo artist who was squeezed to death by his own python. His widow made a fortune touring the South with the guilty snake. After all, says Stoney, how often do you get a chance to see a snake that's…

Shamanic Aspects of the "Bruidhean" Tale
The Paradoxes of Robin Hood
THE narrative tradition about Robin Hood, which throve in the folklore and the popular literature of England from the medieval period to the nineteenth century,' reflects the worldwide fascination with the figure of the outlaw,2 the man who exists beyond human society and has adventures which would be impossible for normal members of society in their normal social environments. In this paper I present an analysis of the 'mystique' of Robin Hood t…
