Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from A Text Book of Irish Literature, Vol. 2 The general outline of the theory here advanced as to the origin and spread of the Fenian Legends was suggested to me by reading in proof, some time ago, Mr. John Mac Neill´s introduction to his volume containing a portion of the collection of Ossianic poems known as "Duanaire Finn," just published by the Irish Texts Society. I had long been pondering the special features presented by these legends and endeavouring to construct some theory of their origin which would combine such facts as are at present known. The suggestions offered in Mr. Mac Neill´s essay regarding the genealogies of Finn, and the general consensus of opinion among the Irish mediaeval genealogists that he was sprung from the pre-Milesian or old inhabitants of the country, known by the name of the Firbolg race, seemed worthy of consideration, and I endeavoured to work out the idea in greater detail. The result will be found in the notes on the legends which occupy the first five chapters of this volume. The theory seems to explain much that was obscure as to the early origin of the tales and their very general hold on the people, in spite of the fact that they do not seem, until a late period, to have been considered by the official scribes as worthy of a place in their collections.
