About This Book
The Ireland Anthology is the most ambitious one-volume anthology of Irish prose and poetry to appear in over thirty years. There are more than 200 separate entries, drawn from indigenous authors as well as from those who have visited the country, and covering the whole span of written Irish history. As a result, works by Jonathan Swift, Maria Edgeworth and W. B.
Yeats are represented alongside authors as diverse as the medieval Welsh monk Giraldus Cambrensis, the Elizabethan poet Edmund Spenser, and the French dandy Chevalier de La Tocnaye. There are also extracts from the works of distinguished contemporary writers like Seamus Heaney, Eavan Boland and Colm Tolbin.
