Abstract

Most medieval depictions of the crane (Grus grus) emphasise its nobility and importance for falconry; however, medieval Welsh poetry provides a topos of an ugly, greedy creature. This paper contrasts the two attitudes and suggests possible origins with reference to classical literature, naturalistic observation and Marxist interpretations of class conflict.

中世纪威尔士丑陋贪婪的鹤

大多数中世纪对鹤(Grus Grus)的描绘强调它的高贵和对猎鹰的重要性;然而，中世纪的威尔士诗歌提供了一个丑陋，贪婪的生物的主题。本文对比了这两种态度，并参考古典文学、自然主义观察和马克思主义对阶级冲突的解释，提出了可能的根源。

期刊介绍： Peritia is an international peer-reviewed journal published by Brepols with a focus on Insular culture from Late Antiquity to the later Middle Ages. Within those parameters we welcome submissions from all cognate disciplines. The journal has published ground-breaking articles in archaeology, computistics, hagiography, history, law, literature and music. While Peritia enjoys a core strength in early medieval Ireland, this has never been exclusivist; other areas of research, related to the Insular world and its connections to the wider early medieval West are well-represented.
