Opis

This anthology offers modern readers translations of the lyric poetry transcribed or written by mediaeval Irish monks. Irish poets were the first Europeans to write in the vernacular, though few people now read this poetry in its original. Known for her translations of the poetry of classical Greece and Egypt and of mediaeval Portugal, Barbara Hughes Fowler once again makes the poetry of another era accessible to a new generation.
