Signed by the Author on title page.

A collection of Ó Tuama’s critical essays written over several decades, many of which had previously appeared only in Irish-language journals. The collection is notable for making his scholarship accessible to English-speaking audiences, often through his own translations or commentary on translated texts.

Ó Tuama’s earlier work with Thomas Kinsella on ‘An Duanaire: Poems of the Dispossessed’ laid the groundwork for this volume, reinforcing his role as a curator of Irish poetic heritage.
