An Anthology of Irish Literature (Vol. 1), Paperback / softback Book

An Anthology of Irish Literature (Vol. 1) Paperback / softback

Paperback / softback

Description

Most anthologies of Irish literature deal only with Irish literature in English, that which is gerally referred to as Anglo-Irish literature.

Most of them also deal only with Irish writers of the twentieth century.

An Anthology of Irish Literature is an exception to both these tendencies.

The selections represent Irish literature from the seventh century through the twentieth century. Volume I contains translations of medieval Irish poetry and narratives, many of which, though transcribed in Middle Irish, are from an older oral tradition.

The volume also offers examples of Irish lyric poetry of the 17th and 18th centuries and translations from 19th century Irish poets
