Thirty academics, from Ireland, Scotland, England, the Faroe
Islands, Norway, Sweden, Estonia and the USA, have joined together
to honour Professor Seamas O Cathain, Emeritus Professor of Irish
Folklore and former Director of the National Folklore Collection,
in this festschrift on his 70th birthday. Professor O Cathain is
widely known for his contribution to Irish and international
folkloristics and the many ways in which he has promoted Irish
language and culture. Articles in the festschrift, which cover a
broad array of subjects, are in themselves a reflection of Seamas O
Cathain's wide-ranging interests and constitute significant
contributions to the disciplines of folkloristics, dialectology,
and literary and etymological studies. Topics include, among
others, folklore collectors and collecting, folklore connections
between Ireland and the Nordic countries, folk legends old and
modern, folk beliefs and folk customs, as well as issues in Irish,
Scottish Gaelic and Cornish linguistics.
