The Poor Condition of Irish Medieval Studies (particularly in Philology)
| Where: | International Congress on Medieval Studies, Kalamazoo, Michigan, 2008, ASIMS |
| When: | May 2008 |
Irish medieval studies has been top-heavy with philologists for over a century now, and the field has contracted where it should have expanded. Language scholarship and instruction has been very poor, meaning that few scholars exist who can read or translate the texts. Those who can seem more interested in the language than the texts themselves. A new tendency towards textual scholarship is to be welcomed.
