Description

Abstract (cited)

The role of the fili in the composition of praise-poetry in the pre-Norman period has been questioned. This paper begins with an examination of its negative counterpart, satire, and then goes on to look at the connection between satire and the fili, and the connection of satire with praise, before proceeding to discuss the evidence from the law texts, which shows that the composition of praise-poetry was indeed an important function of the fili.
