Description
Abstract (cited)

The Early Modern Irish (EModIr) fianaigheacht text known as Tóraigheacht Taise Taoibhghile (henceforth TTT) has not hitherto been the subject of any lengthy critical comment. The present paper will argue that TTT is an exemplary tale concerned with the relationships of vassals to their overlords and to one another. In addition, attention will be drawn to the text’s treatment of poets and poetry, in particular with regard to the privileged position of men of art in aristocratic military society and the proper use of praise and satire.
