A fantastic volume embracing the supernatural in Gaelic superstition from the mid-nineteenth century.

This is the first book ever to be dedicated to the full range and versatility of one of the golden ages of Gaelic culture and features poets of European stature and significance.

The first general anthology of Gaelic verse and song of the nineteenth century to be published since 1879. Including translations, together with notes on sources and themes and an extended introduction.

This anthology spans almost a thousand years of Gaelic verse, bringing together for the first time the poetry from the millennium c.600–1600 AD, when Scotland shared its rich culture with Ireland.
