An Duanaire, 1600-1900

Description:

This is a seminal work for the study of Irish poetry. Kinsella's translations are not the horrid rhyming things one sometimes encounters in literature in translation, but rather vivid and imaginative faithful renditions. Many readers will find this to be the stuff of depression since it is chock full of the cries of a disenfranchised people.
