A Celtic Miscellany: Translations from the Literature -- Kenneth Hurlstone Jackson [Translator]

Condition : Good.

Penguin, 1980, Vintage paperback - Classics - 343pp.

Including works from Welsh, Irish and Scottish Gaelic, Cornish, Breton and Manx, this Celtic Miscellany offers a rich blend of poetry and prose from the eighth to the nineteenth century, and provides a unique insight into the minds and literature of the Celtic people.

It is a literature dominated by a deep sense of wonder, wild inventiveness and a profound sense of the uncanny, in which the natural world and the power of the individual spirit are celebrated with astonishing imaginative force.

Skilfully arranged by theme, from the hero-tales of Cú Chulainn, Bardic poetry and

elegies, to the sensitive and intimate writings of early Celtic Christianity, this anthology provides a fascinating insight into a deeply creative literary tradition.

Selections cover Celtic hero-tales and adventure stories, nature writings, love poetry, epigrams, magic, humor, satire, bardic poetry, elegies, religion.
