Selections From Ancient Irish Poetry

In offering this collection of translations from early I rish poetry to a wider public I feel that I am expected to give a brief account of the literature from which they are taken a literature so little known that its very existence has been doubted or denied by some, while others, who had the misfortune to make its acquaintance in illchosen or inadequate renderings, have refused to recognise any merit in it. The bias and ignorance of English historians and of many professed students of I rish history, who continue to write without a first-hand knowledge of its sources, have also reacted imfavourably upon the study of I rish literature.

Whatever may be its intrinsic merit, its importance as the earhest voice from the dawn of West European civi Usation cannot be denied. Time and again in the course of their history the nations of Western and Northern Europe have had to struggle hard for the preservation of their national hfe against a powerful denationalising influence proceeding from Rome. Those among them who underwent the Roman conquest lost early, together with their liberty, their most precious national possession, their native language and with it their vernacular literature.(Typographical errors above are due to OCR software and don't occur in the book.)About the Publisher Forgotten Books is a publisher of historical writings, such as: Philosophy, Classics, Science, Religion, History, Folklore and Mythology.Forgotten Books' Classic Reprint Series utilizes the latest technology to regenerate facsimiles of historically important writings.
