Gaelic Literature
of the Traditional prose: collections |
|
|
N.B. This site is best viewed on a
desktop or laptop PC Material listed in the Traditional Prose section
ranges from transcriptions of full length tales taken from oral recitation,
through literary versions of traditional tales, to descriptive and anecdotal
material. All the items have been
collected from, or written by men and women from the area. Here, my definition of ‘traditional’ has a certain
flexibility. Generally, material
composed for publication is included if the matter is traditional and the
style does not vary too much from the traditional. For instance, the subject matter of Niall
MacLeòid’s ‘Gaol Gaidhealach’ in his Clàrsach
an Doire is certainly traditional, but his style varies so much from the
traditional that ‘Gaol Gaidhealach’ is listed in the section for
non-traditional creative prose while the other three stories in Clàrsach an Doire are listed in this
section. In this Collections section items are listed within
a single alphabetical sequence under the name of each collector. It includes for example; tales and lore
collected by Calum I. MacLean, tales and lore collected from Hugh MacKinnon
and collections of the published compositions of individual authors, most
notably the Rev. Tormod Domhnallach. Collections: |
