A wonderful, and a fresh, collection that brings one back to the time in Ireland before the Famine. The stories follow the run of these things, but Croker while striving for a rationalism which allows no evidence to remain, lets them stand for all their fancy in the telling. Of most interest are the speech-patterns and small domestic details of the Irish of oats and potato-garden incidental to the tales. (On moving house you brought the dog but left the cat). Along with the notes provided by Croker on their life, language and traditions there is a grounding here missing from many such (later) collections. ( ) geen besprekingen | voeg een bespreking toe
Thomas Crofton Croker (1798-1854), was an Irish antiquary, born at Cork. For some years, he held a position in the Admiralty, where his distant relative, John Wilson Croker, was his superior. Croker devoted himself largely to the collection of ancient Irish poetry and Irish folklore. He assisted in founding the Percy Society and the Camden Society. He and his wifea(TM)s testimonies about funereal customs, particularly the tradition of keening the deceased are among the earliest and most significant contributions to the understanding of the Irish language lament and the accompanying traditions. His work South of Ireland went to six editions, it was translated into German by the Brothers Grimm. His works include: Researches in the South of Ireland (1824), Fairy Legends and Traditions of the South of Ireland (1825-27), Popular Songs of Ireland (1837), Daniel Oa(TM)Rourke (1829) and Barney Mahoney (1832).
