内容説明
The definitive reference book on Ireland's cultural and religious heritage.
Ireland has one of the finest cultural heritages and a standard reference book combining the related subjects of folklore, myth, legend and romance is long overdue. There are 350 substantial entries, in alphabetical order from Aban, a 6th-century saint, to Weather, all with full references to sources, a synopsis of relevant stories, and discussion of their origin, nature and development. These are complimented by a genre-list of material under various headings, such as Mythical Lore, Fianna Cycle, Ulster Cycle, King Cycles, Peoples and Traditions, Religious Lore, and Folk Custom and Belief. There is also a wealth of genealogical detail, indicating how historical and social circumstances have influenced the growth and spread of Irish lore.
DAITHI O HOGAIN, Associate Professor of Irish Folklore at University College Dublin, was an international authority on folklore and traditional literature.

内容説明
Ireland has one of the finest cultural heritages and a standard reference book, combining the related subjects of folklore, myth, legend and romance is long overdue. Now, this wide-ranging work of over 350,000 words is that one volume. There are 350 substantial entries, from Aban, a sixth-century saint, to Weather, all with full references to sources, a synopsis of relevant stories, and discussion of their origin, nature and development. For easy access, all entries are alphabetical. There are cross-references within individual entries, so no aspect of a particular story is neglected. The style communicates easily, whether one wishes to hear good stories or find material without difficulty. The whole spectrum of Irish narrative is made available in a measured and analytical manner. After each entry, an exhaustive list of sources and relevant studies is given. So, from the misty legends of the Tuatha De Danann and saints and scholars to Biddy Early and Daniel O'Connell, this book opens a window to Ireland and the Irish.
