Irish Literary Studies

Tales of the Elders of Ireland is the first complete translation of the late Middle Irish Acallam na Senorach, the largest literary text surviving from twelfth-century Ireland.

The book also includes the transcript of an interview of Toibin conducted by his former Magill associate, Fintan O'Toole.

The essays in this collection deal with contemporary Irish poetry and the question of the desiring body as a cultural and historical product, a biological entity and a psycho-sexual construction, and not least as an existential being.

For this edition Jeri Johnson, editor of the acclaimed Ulysses 1922 text, has written an introduction and notes which together provide a comprehensive and illuminating appreciation of Joyce's artistry.

Maurice Harmon’s essays provide authoritative readings of Irish writers and their work over three centuries.
