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. Skifully arranged by
theme, from the hero-tales of Cu 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. Kenneth Hurlstone Jackson was
born in 1909. He began his career as a lecturer in Celtic at
Cambridge, before becoming the first chair of the Department of
Celtic Language and Literature at Harvard. He undertook war service
with the Uncommon Languages section of British censorship and
subsequently held professorships at Harvard and Edinburgh.
Professor Jackson died in 1991.
