    In 1166 Diarmait Mac Murchada, king of Leinster, lost his territory to his enemies and fled Ireland to seek the help of England's King Henry II in his effort to regain it. Thus began the English conquest of Ireland, never completed, but changing forever England's imagination of Ireland and the Irish people. During the Middle English period, 1200-1500, England began to establish its Irish colony, and it is here we must look for the roots of later English perceptions of the island and its people. Little has been written on English attitudes toward Ireland before the sixteenth century, however, except from historical and political perspectives Superficial approaches to Middle English literature have only confirmed the cliche of the "wild Irish." Drawing on a wide variety of texts, Colonial Ireland in Medieval English Literature investigates, first, ways in which Middle English literary reference to Ireland and the Irish reflect English attitudes toward the island and her people during the first three centuries of colonial presence. In addition, author Elizabeth L. Rambo considers to what extent these references have influenced the views of English readers, especially educated laypersons. She divides the Middle English literature into three broad classes (chronicles, romances, and hagiographies and other religious writings), ordering works in each class more or less chronologically, and examining references to Ireland and the Irish in each work in the light of the different origins and purposes of the genres What was the influence of Giraldus Cambrensis's anti-Irish bias on Middle English chronicles? What influences led to the emphasis in English hagiography of only three Irish saints out of hundreds? What made Ireland an attractive site for several romances? How did Arthurian legends support England's colonization of Ireland? In considering these questions, the author finds that the "wild Irish" are but one of three colonial images of Ireland and the Irish. The other two, the Wasteland and the Otherworld island, though not necessarily either positive or negative, also reflect England's alienation from Ireland and the Irish

    The rhetorical trope of irony is well-trod territory, with books and essays devoted to its use by a wide range of medieval and Renaissance writers, from the Beowulf-poet and Chaucer to Boccaccio and Shakespeare; however, the use of sarcasm, the "flesh tearing" form of irony, in the same literature has seldom been studied at length or in depth. Sarcasm is notoriously difficult to pick out in a written text, since it relies so much on tone of voice and context. This is the first book-length study of medieval and Renaissance sarcasm. Its fourteen essays treat instances in a range of genres, both sacred and secular, and of cultures from Anglo-Saxon to Arabic, where the combination of circumstance and word choice makes it absolutely clear that the speaker, whether a character or a narrator, is being sarcastic. Essays address, among other things, the clues writers give that sarcasm is at work, how it conforms to or deviates from contemporary rhetorical theories, what role it plays in building character or theme, and how sarcasm conforms to the Christian milieu of medieval Europe, and beyond to medieval Arabic literature. The collection thus illuminates a half-hidden but surprisingly common early literary technique for modern readers
