Coire Sois, The Cauldron of Knowledge: A Companion to Early Irish Saga offers thirty-one previously published essays by Tomás Ó Cathasaigh, which together constitute a magisterial survey of early Irish narrative literature in the vernacular. Ó Cathasaigh has been called “the father of early Irish literary criticism,” with writings among the most influential in the field. He pioneered the analysis of the classic early Irish tales as literary texts, a breakthrough at a time when they were valued mainly as repositories of grammatical forms, historical data, and mythological debris. All four of the Mythological, Ulster, King, and Finn Cycles are represented here in readings of richness, complexity, and sophistication, supported by absolute philological rigor and yet easy for the non-specialist to follow. The book covers key terms, important characters, recurring themes, rhetorical strategies, and the narrative logic of this literature. It also surveys the work of the many others whose explorations were launched by Ó Cathasaigh's first encounters with the literature. As the most authoritative single volume on the essential texts and themes of early Irish saga, this collection will be an indispensable resource for established scholars, and an ideal introduction for newcomers to one of the richest and most under-studied literatures of medieval Europe.

The number of people taking Irish Studies courses has been increasing rapidly in recent years. Until now, however, there has been no basic introductory textbook which would enable students coming to the subject for the first time to familiarize themselves with its essential elements. This book is for them. The basic approach is historical. Starting with a geographer's account of landscape and habitat, there follows a series of essays surveying Ireland from the middle ages to the mid-nineteenth century through the eyes of historians, linguists and literary critics. The cultural tension between the Anglo-Irish world and the declining Gaelic world is constantly kept in view. Both the cultural and political revivals of the early twentieth century are dealt with and the concluding essays deal with the structures and culture of modern Ireland. This book is an essential reading for everyone interested in an up-to-date account of Irish history, literature, society and culture.
