Kinship, Church and Culture: Collected Essays and Studies

Unknown Author

4.9/5 (9200 ratings)

Description:A collection of the author's essays and studies on the Gaelic roots of Scotland.John Bannerman (1932-2008) saw the history of Scotland from a Gaelic perspective, and his outstanding scholarship made that perspective impossible to ignore. As a historian, his natural home was the era between the Romans and the twelfth century when the Scottish kingdom first began to take shape, but he also wrote extensively on the MacDonald Lordship of the Isles in the fourteenth and fifteenth centuries, while his work on the Beatons, the notable Gaelic medical kindred, reached into the early eighteenth century. Across this long millennium, Bannerman ranged and wrote with authority and insight on what he termed the "kin-based society," with special emphasis upon its church and culture, and its relationship with Ireland. This collection opens with Bannerman's ground-breaking and hugely influential edition and discussion of Senchus fer nAlban ("The History of the Men of Scotland"), which featured in his Studies in the History of Dalriada (1974), now long out of print. Also included are all of his published essays, plus an essay-length study of the Lordship of the Isles, which first featured as an appendix in Late Medieval Monumental Sculpture in the West Highlands (1977). The book will be of interest to anyone wanting to know more about the Gaelic dimension to Scotland's past and present."A substantial, weighty tome, worth every penny of its price. Determination, earnestness, humor, and originality characterize all this work. A substantial intellectual treat brought gully into the scholarly light of day for a new generation." --Cambrian Medieval Celtic StudiesWe have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
