Duanaire na Sracaire is the first anthology to bring together
Scotland's Gaelic poetry from the millenium c.600-1600 AD, when
Scotland shared its rich culture with Ireland. It includes a huge
range of diverse poetry: prayers and hymns of Iona, Fenian lays,
praise poems and satires, courtly songs and lewd rants, songs of
battle and death, incantations and love poems. All poems appear
with facing-page translations which capture the spirit and beauty
of the originals and are accompanied by detailed notes. A
comprehensive introduction sets the context and analyses the role
and functions of poetry in Gaelic society. This collection will
appeal to poetry lovers, Gaelic speakers and those keen to explore
a vital part of Scotland's literary heritage. ...
