Description: This is a great literary criticism work. It serves as an excellent companion to An Duanaire 1600-1900: Poems of the Dispossessed. It oozes historical significance. Rather than fall into the pitfall of disconnecting a people's literature from their history, the author respects the context of the pieces and of the poets. Story and the oral tradition are well respected in these pages.
