Frontmatter -- Table of Contents -- Acknowledgements -- Introduction: Early Irish Rhetoric -- 1 Late Antique and Early Medieval Ireland and the Latin West -- 2 Learning in Ireland in the Sixth through the Eighth Centuries -- 3 St Patrick and the Rhetoric of Epistolography -- 4 A Rhetorical Analysis of Patrick’s Epistola ad Milites Coroticus -- 5 The Hisperica famina -- 6 Secular Learning and Native Traditions -- Conclusion and Considerations for Further Study -- Bibliography -- Index
Summary: This book represents the first study of the art of rhetoric in medieval Ireland, a culture often neglected by medieval rhetorical studies. In a series of three case studies, Brian Stone traces the textual transmission of rhetorical theories and practices from the late Roman period to those early Irish monastic communities who would not only preserve and pass on the light of learning, but adapt an ancient tradition to their own cultural needs, contributing to the history of rhetoric in important ways. The manuscript tradition of early Ireland, which gave us the largest body of vernacular literature in the medieval period and is already appreciated for its literary contributions, is also a site of rhetorical innovation and creative practice.
