Lis Christensen is a graduate of Copenhagen University, where she was for many years lecturer in English Literature before entering the Civil Service. Her work in Irish studies includes articles, translations and anthologies, besides 'A First Glossary of Hoberno-English' (1996).
The few introductory pages provide helpful and accurate information on Irish (sufficient to explain its mutations) and our linguistic history and present attitudes (..) a smart and useful little production -- Books Ireland, No. 196, 1996
