The translations are sensitive and felicitous, the fruit of some thirty years of research in Irish language and literature. Several of the poems have hitherto been known only to a handful of scholars and some appeared for the first time in this book.\u003cbr\u003eReaders of all kinds will find here an introduction to the poetry of Ireland in verse translations which catch the movement of spirit of the originals. Professor Carney has prefaced the whole with an introduction in which he places the medieval Irish lyrics in their social and historical context.\u003cbr\u003eThe poets represented here wrote for a society which employed professional poets who could claim to stand in a direct succession from the druidic order of pre-Christian times. This new edition includes \u003ci\u003eThe Irish Bardic Poet\u003c\/i\u003e, Professor Carney's noted lecture to the Celtic School of the Dublin Institute of Advanced Studies (1958) in which he presents a comprehensive picture of the relationship between a Bardic poet, Eochaidh   hEoghusa and his patrons, the Maguire family of Fermanagh.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e James Carney\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0851053602\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780851053608\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Colin Smythe\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 01\/01\/1985\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 140\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.48lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 7.80h x 5.00w x 0.50d","brand":"James Carney","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43978297016575,"sku":"9780851053608","price":13.48,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_985b20e2-560a-4fc2-936d-73fedacb2a63.jpg?v=1683240751","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/medieval-irish-lyrics-james-carney-9780851053608","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
