Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book presents a selection of Irish keens, or funeral laments, from the south of Ireland. These keens, traditionally performed by professional keeners, offer a unique glimpse into the cultural and social history of Ireland, providing insights into the lives, beliefs, and experiences of the Irish people. The author discusses the historical context of the keens, their role in Irish society, and their literary and musical qualities. The keens themselves, translated from Irish into English, showcase the depth of emotion and the power of language to express grief and loss, while exploring themes of love, loss, family, and community. The author's analysis reveals the keens' significance as a form of cultural expression, demonstrating their value as historical documents and as works of literature.
