Between 1878 and 1881, Standish O’Grady published a three-volume
History of Ireland that simultaneously recounted the heroic ancient
past of the Irish people and helped to usher in a new era of
cultural revival and political upheaval. At the heart of this
history was the figure of Cuculain, the great mythic hero who would
inspire a generation of writers and revolutionaries, from W. B.
Yeats and Lady Augusta Gregory to Patrick Pearse. Despite the
profound influence O’Grady’s writings had on literary and
political culture in Ireland, they are not as well known as they
should be, particularly in view of the increasingly global interest
in Irish culture. This critical edition of the Cuculain legend
offers a concise, abridged version of the central story in History
of Ireland—the rise of the young warrior, his famous exploits in
the Táin Bó Cualinge (The Cattle Raid of Cooley), and his heroic
death. Castle and Bixby’s edition also includes a scholarly
introduction, biography, timeline, glossary, editorial notes, and
critical essays, demonstrating the significance of O’Grady’s
writing for the continued reimagining of Ireland’s past, present,
and future. Inviting a new generation of readers to encounter this
work, the volume provides the tools necessary to appreciate both
O’Grady’s enduring importance as a writer and Cuculain’s
continuing resonance as a cultural icon.
