Kathleen Hughes Memorial Lecture


On Monday 9th May, Prof. Thomas Charles-Edwards, Jesus Professor of Celtic, University of Oxford, will deliver the 2011 Kathleen Hughes Memorial Lecture on:

'St Patrick and the Landscape of Early Christian Ireland'
Lives of St Patrick, from the late-seventh century onwards, are rich in information about the political and ecclesiastical landscape?about small kingdoms and large, about ?seats of kingship? and local churches. Occasionally they touch upon the major places of pre-Christian Ireland as these were understood in the Christian period. The latter are ubiquitous in early Irish narrative literature and then in the Dindshenchas ?place-history? of Middle Irish. The lecture will discuss the relationship between Patrick?s places and those believed to be the central places of pre-Patrician Ireland.
This lecture will take place at 5.45pm in the Pavilion Room, Hughes Hall, Cambridge. All welcome.
