Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Transactions of the Royal Society of Literature, Vol. 17: Of the United Kingdom Perhaps the most accurate title I could give this paper would be "Irish poetry of the nineteenth century: a sketch of its history, with illustrative examples." There seem to be two ways of treating the subject: one to assume that you are well acquainted with our poets and their writings, and to simply analyse them exhaustively; the other way, and the best one under the circumstances, as I think, is to take it that you are not familiar with the Irish poets, have probably never heard of the names of some of them, and would like to have some specimens of their writings, as well as some criticism. The subject is a very large one, and I propose to pass in review only those writers, who have produced something worth remembering. I shall be forced to ignore altogether, from lack of time, some excellent singers, and must barely name others, as I wish to practically survey the whole ground. Irishmen are proverbially clever at verse-making, and it is rarely we meet one who has not at least attempted the feat. More often than is supposed they have succeeded in their poetical efforts, and we have even a great poet or two.
