The Penguin Book of Irish Poetry features the work of the greatest Irish poets, from the monks of the ancient monasteries to the Nobel laureates W.B. Yeats and Seamus Heaney, from Jonathan Swift and Oliver Goldsmith to Eiléan Nì Chuilleanáin and Nuala Nì Dhomhnaill, along with a profusion of lyrics, love poems, satires, ballads and songs. Reflecting Ireland’s complex past and lively present, this collection of Irish verse is an indispensable guide to the history, culture and romance of one of Europe’s oldest civilizations.
In his introduction to this new Penguin Classics edition, Patrick Crotty explores the traditions of poetry in Ireland, and relates the rich variety of the poems to the long and frequently troubled history of the island.
