I stumbled upon this book in the Dickson Street Bookshop and it might have even been the first book I bought from them (which makes sense because it's bottomless and overwhelming if you don't walk in with a list!). I have always been drawn to anything Irish and this book was just another impulse buy that showed my cards. It's just an encyclopedia but it has all sorts of fun things about Ireland and the magical parts about it that are so interesting. ( ) geen besprekingen | voeg een bespreking toe
Ireland has one of the finest cultural heritages and a standard reference book combining the related subjects of folklore, myth, legend and romance is long overdue. There are 350 substantial entries, in alphabetical order from Abán, a 6th-century saint, to Weather, all with full references to sources, a synopsis of relevant stories, and discussion of their origin, nature and development. These are complimented by a genre-list of material under various headings, such as Mythical Lore, Fianna Cycle, Ulster Cycle, King Cycles, Peoples and Traditions, Religious Lore, and Folk Custom and Belief. There is also a wealth of genealogical detail, indicating how historical and social circumstances have influenced the growth and spread of Irish lore. DAITHI O HOGAIN, Associate Professor of Irish Folklore at University College Dublin, was an international authority on folklore and traditional literature. Geen bibliotheekbeschrijvingen gevonden. |
