Thesis (Ph.D.)--Harvard University, 2005.

Between the end of the fourteenth century and the beginning of the seventeenth century, Cornish writers produced an extensive literature in verse, of which over 21,000 lines of poetry and drama have survived. Yet over the course of more than two hundred years of Cornish scholarship, no thorough analysis of medieval Cornish versification has ever been undertaken. Most work on this topic has focused on individual texts, and has only looked for parallels between Cornish and other Celtic literatures. This study is the first to examine the rules of meter, rhyme, and stanza structure in all six of the surviving texts, and to explore the links between Middle Cornish verse forms and those of medieval English, French, and Latin. Cornish verse appears to be a hybrid tradition, in which stanza structures modeled on those of middle English (and possibly also Latin and French) were combined with rules of rhyme and meter that parallel those of Welsh and Breton.

Yet over the course of more than two hundred years of Cornish scholarship, no thorough analysis of medieval Cornish versification has ever been undertaken. Most work on this topic has focused on individual texts, and has only looked for parallels between Cornish and other Celtic literatures. This study is the first to examine the rules of meter, rhyme, and stanza structure in all six of the surviving texts, and to explore the links between Middle Cornish verse forms and those of medieval English, French, and Latin.

520 $a No information regarding the 'rules' of medieval Cornish versification has come down to us, but the system may be reconstructed by analyzing the surviving literature. Four texts---the poem Pascon Agan Arluth, the trilogy of Biblical dramas known as the Cornish Ordinalia, and the saints' plays Beunans Meriasek and Bewnans Ke---have many features in common, and clearly form part of a single literary tradition. At least three of these works have close associations with Glasney College, a college of secular canons located in western Cornwall, and Glasney may well have been the place where this tradition came into being. Of the two remaining texts, the seventeenth-century play Gwreans an Bys is linked to the earlier dramas through similarities in stanza structure, and also incorporates several lines which can be traced back to the Ordinalia. The fourteenth-century Charter Endorsement uses verse forms and metrical patterns not found elsewhere in medieval Cornish literature, but as this may be a secular work, and one with no ties to Glasney, it is perhaps not surprising that it does not adhere to the same rules of versification found in the other five texts.
