Description

It is of historical importance those who read Gaelic will carry this book about with them like an Elizabethan song book, reading and re-reading until all those golden lines are thrice familiar. Incorporating poems from 1350 to 1750 this book contains a wealth of verse that shows the Irish language at it's richest and most beautiful. Influenced by the French tradition of the amour courtois the poetry is still inherently Irish, revealing the natural characteristics of wit and irony while rebounding with affection.
