Recenzje

"This is an immensely learned book to which it is impossible to do justice even in a lengthy review. [...] With its wealth of reference to early Irish and Hiberno-Latin literature, [it] is a veritable treasure trove for readers in search of the Irish Gaelic background to Old English literature." (Rory McTurk, University of Leeds, in: Dublin Review of Books 147/2, Sept. 2022)

"This capacious and meticulously referenced book is a valuable addition to the ever-growing body of scholarship on the cultural interplay between early Ireland and England. [...] The Gaelic Background of Old English Poetry before Bede succeeds admirably in its endeavor to "encourage ... a more informed understanding of the nature of insular vernacular literature" (371) and deserves a welcome place among scholarship on the early medieval North Atlantic." (A. Joseph McMullen, Indiana University, in: Speculum 98/4, Oct. 2023, 1262-1263.)
