The Oldest Irish Tradition: A Window on the Iron Age
Jackson, Kenneth Hurlstone (University of Edinburgh)
Kenneth Jackson's 1964 lecture, printed here, focuses on exploring medieval and earlier Irish literature. This lecture explored the possibility that the Ulster cycle of tales preserves an oral tradition of Celtic Irish society from the third and fourth centuries AD; as the background of the tales pre-dates Christian influences in the fifth century.
