Synopsis:
The library of Trinity College Dublin is one of the world's great research libraries, with the largest collection of books and manuscripts in Ireland. "Treasures of the Library" explores the varied facets of its collections - some of the oldest written materials of the age before printing; the transition from manuscript to print in the 15th and 16th centuries and its impact on the reading public; and later manuscripts and typescripts as sources for scholars of history and literature. This book features over 20 experts in their fields, writing on a range of topics including: Jonathan Swift; the 1798 rebellion; 17th century drama; l9th century Irish ballad sheets; modern Irish literary manuscripts, including those of W.B. Yeats, J.M. Synge and Samuel Beckett; the Long Room; and a brief history of the library.
