Research interests

My research over the years has had a number of major strands.

Medieval Celtic Literature: I have worked on medieval Celtic literature since my doctoral studies in the University of Edinburgh, on saints and fools in early Irish literature. I have published a number of studies on the role of fools in early Irish texts; on kingship, court society and heroism in the Ulster cycle; on women in and women as authors of early Irish texts. Whilst I have published less on Welsh literature, it remains a core teaching and research interest.

The Literature of Scotland: I have also had a long-standing interest in the literature of Scotland, particularly its early medieval literature. Two books I published in the 1990s helped to clarify the existence of a substantial amount and variety of early medieval Scottish literature, and I have written several times on this body of literature since, in literary histories and companions. I retain a side interest in Scottish Gaelic literature across the centuries, and several studies of individual poems, and also a recent article on Gaelic literature and Scottish Romanticism, reflect this—as does some of my supervising. I am series editor with Ian Brown of the International Companions to Scottish Literature and its predecessor series, the International Companions to Scottish Literature.

Early Medieval Scotland, and in particular its religious history and linguistic history have been a particular concern of mine. I have published a number of studies of saints' cults and Scottish hagiography, challenging in particular the tendency to read hagiographies as straightforwardly historical texts. A particular subset of this research has focused on the history of Iona and the Columban familia, including a book-length study of early poetry relating to Iona (written with Gilbert Márkus). The external history of Gaelic in medieval Scotland has been the subject of two recent articles, and a further several forthcoming ones.

Place-Names: Recently my research has been particularly absorbed by work on place-names. I have directed a series of research projects involving place-names and the evidence they can give us for language, society and religion in medieval Scotland. (For details, see under Grants).
