This study surveys the course of verse translation from the Irish, starting with the notorious Macpherson controversy and ending with the publication of George Sigerson's Bards of the Gael and Gall in 1897. Professor Welch considers some of the problems and challenges relating to the translation of Irish verse into English in the context of translation theory and ideas about cultural differentiation. Throughout the book, we see again and again the dilemma of poets who must be faithful to the spirit or the form of Irish verse, but who rarely have the ability to capture both. The relationship between Irish and English in the nineteenth century was, necessarily, a critical one, and the translators were often working at the centre of the crisis, whether they were aware of it or not. As Celticism evolved into nationalism and heroic idealism, these influences can be clearly seen in the development of verse translation from the Irish.

The life & works of the 20th century playwright. Bibliography of his works, translations & unpublished manuscripts. " The book is an excellent corrective of all the personal stories & memoirs, autobiographies & impressions of those who themselves were actors in the tale. Here we get perspective into the story & justice. His book will be the starting place for all who write hereafter of Synge & desire a solid base on which to build their conception. But the book is more than that. It is itself full of good criticism & alive with understanding."--SATURDAY REVIEW. Illus.

Excerpt from The Songs of Deardra: Translated From the Irish, With Other Poems Several years ago, the Author had it in contemplation to publish a volume of his Poems; and it was his intention, at that time, to dedicate it to his excellent and learned Friend, the late Dr. Percy, Lord Bishop of Dromore. The lamented death of this venerable Prelate prevented the execution of that design. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
