Including samples of Gaelic literature in translation, this is a
collection of Irish poetry from the age of Swift to the middle of
the 20th century. Major names include Aogan O Rathaille, Jonathan
Swift, Oliver Goldsmith, Henrietta Battier, James Clarence Mangan,
Lady Wilde, anonymous writers on famine and terror, Oscar Wilde,
W.B. Yeats and some of his survivors. Disinterring a tradition of
enlightened outrage, the editor reconstructs a distinctively Irish
poetic voice down through the centuries. Devoted to humane values
yet wise to the duplicity of all self-proclaimed virtue, their
voice has repeatedly adopted the mask of dramatic ferocity, with
Swift's savage indignation setting the tone.
