## Description

'... his 1911 translations of the poetry into English are still minor masterpieces..' - Bernard O'Donoghue, The Times Literary Supplement '.. literal translations first published in 1913 when they opened many eyes to the variety and richness of Irish vernacular literature.' - P. J. Kavanagh, The Spectator 'By showing that Ireland had an ancient civilization Meyer affected people's sense of their identity. A timely reissuing of an old classic.' - Ronan Sheehan, The Irish Press 'Meyer's book is now over eighty years old, yet probably his translations are still the best of their kind.' - Brian Fallon, The Irish Times
