During the Elizabethan conquest of Ireland, colonisers such as Edmund Spenser, Sir John Harington and Sir George Carew wrote or translated epic romances replete with beheadings even as they countenanced - or conducted - similar deeds on the battlefield. This study juxtaposes the archival record of actual violence with literary depictions of decapitation to explore how violence gets transcribed into art. Patricia Palmer brings the colonial world of Renaissance England face-to-face with Irish literary culture. She surveys a broad linguistic and geographical range of texts, from translations of Virgil's Aeneid to the Renaissance epics of Ariosto and Ercilla and makes Irish-language responses to conquest and colonization available in readable translations. In doing so, she offers literary and political historians access not only to colonial brutality but also to its ethical reservations, while providing access to the all-too-rarely heard voices of the dispossessed"--$$cProvided by publisher. 000911649 588__ $$aDescription based on print version record. 000911649 650_0 $$aEnglish literature$$yEarly modern, 1500-1700$$xHistory and criticism. 000911649 650_0 $$aBeheading in literature. 000911649 650_0 $$aViolence in literature. 000911649 650_0 $$aRomances, English$$xHistory and criticism. 000911649 650_0 $$aRomances$$vTranslations into English. 000911649 650_0 $$aBeheading$$zIreland$$xHistory. 000911649 650_0 $$aPolitical violence$$zIreland$$xHistory. 000911649 650_0 $$aBritish$$zIreland$$xHistory$$y16th century. 000911649 651_0 $$aIreland$$xHistory$$y16th century. 000911649 77608 $$iPrint version:$$aPalmer, Patricia.$$tSevered head and the grafted tongue : literature, translation and violence in early modern Ireland.$$dCambridge : Cambridge University Press, 2013$$hx, 185 pages$$z9781107041844$$w(DLC) 2013023230 000911649 852__ $$bebk 000911649 85640 $$3ProQuest Ebook Central Academic Complete$$uhttps://univsouthin.idm.oclc.org/login?url=https://ebookcentral.proquest.com/lib/usiricelib-ebooks/detail.action?docID=1543582$$zOnline Access 000911649 909CO $$ooai:library.usi.edu:911649$$pGLOBAL_SET 000911649 980__ $$aEBOOK 000911649 980__ $$aBIB 000911649 982__ $$aEbook 000911649 983__ $$aOnline
