About this title

Synopsis

Tendentiously compiled in the Middle Ages by early Christian scribes, Irish oral literature was later rediscovered in the 19th century by British poets and folklorists like William Buter Yeats, Lady Gregory, Jeremiah Curtin, Lady Wilde and others who brought to light literary jewels expurged from all religious censorship. Bear to delight of the readers of this time, who would otherwise have ignored and lost them forever. Through the "recitals" of the tinkers – itinerant narrators who still exercised their art in the last century – a vast oral tradition could be rescued, whose origins date back to the very roots of the Irish people. In this book, the most representative tales of these compilers have been brought together, from facsimiles of the original works, covering as broad as possible of their works.
