Colonial Ireland in Medieval English Literature
What was the influence of Giraldus Cambrensis's anti-Irish bias on Middle English chronicles? What influences led to the emphasis in English hagiography of only three Irish saints out of hundreds? What made Ireland an attractive site for several romances? How did Arthurian legends support England's colonization of Ireland? In considering these questions, the author finds that the "wild Irish" are but one of three colonial images of Ireland and the Irish. The other two, the Wasteland and the Otherworld island, though not necessarily either positive or negative, also reflect England's alienation from Ireland and the Irish.
