In a volume that has become a standard text in Irish studies and serves as a course-friendly alternative to the
Field Day anthology, editors Maureen O’Rourke Murphy and James Mac Killop survey thirteen centuries of Irish literature, including Old Irish epic and lyric poetry, Irish folksongs, and drama. For each author the editors provide a biographical sketch, a brief discussion of how his or her selections relate to a larger body of work, and a selected bibliography. In addition, this new volume includes a larger sampling of women writers.
