This thesis discusses military motifs and images found in the corpus of Classical Irish poetry, composed between c. 1200 and c. 1650. Extensive use is made of examples from the strictest syllabic metre in Classical Irish poetry, d?n d?reach, taken from published Poem-books, or duanair?, or from manuscript sources, as well as poems only recently made available with the publishing of A Bardic Miscellany, which were hitherto only available on the Irish Bardic Poetry Database compiled by Trinity College Dublin?s Department of Irish. Poems in other syllabic metres, such as ?gl?chas or br?ilingeacht, are also used, as are prose or historical works from the period to clarify the use of certain motifs. ; TARA (Trinity?s Access to Research Archive) has a robust takedown policy.

In this 1995 study Niko Besnier analyses the transformation of Nukulaelae from a non-literate into a literate society using a contemporary perspective which emphasizes literacy as a social practice embedded in a socio-cultural context. He shows how a small and isolated Polynesian community, with no access to print technology, can become deeply steeped in literacy in little more than a century, and how literacy can take on radically divergent forms depending on the social and cultural needs and characteristics of the society in which it develops. His case study, which has implications for understanding literacy in other societies, illuminates the relationship between norm and practice, between structure and agency, and between group and individual
