Excerpt from The Book of Irish Poetry Thomas Moore was more individual as a poet than any of the Young Ireland group yet, whilst he undoubtedly possessed the Irish characteristics of wit and fancy, sentiment and satire, he had nothing of the spirit of the Irish countryside in his composition. Irish was not spoken by his parents or neighbours in Dublin, and when years afterwards he was seeking materials for his History of Ireland in the library of Trinity College, Dublin, he was amazed to find what a great body of Gaelic literature in prose and verse, utterly new to him, lay collected there before his eyes. The classics inspired the anacreontics of Thomas Little his poetical tales, coloured though they were by his Celtic imagination as well as by his West Indian recollections, were entirely derived from Eastern, never from Irish sources. The only purely Irish influence upon his work was that of Irish music, and that influence has made his Irish melodies, in part at any rate, imperish able.

Excerpt from Modern Irish Poets In submitting this little volume to the public, I have no apology to make for treading an oft-trodden path. No work of the kind on Irish poets, I believe, has hitherto been published. If apology were needed, it would be because of the limited character of the work, for I have not been able, in the space at my disposal, to include all the living Irish poets. It is my opinion that at no period in the history of Ireland have we had so great poets, and so many of them, as at the present day. I have good grounds for saying that the demand for Irish poetry is on the increase. In corroboration of this fact we have only to reflect on the multitude of volumes recently issued by Irish poets, and now out of print. During the last two decades these amount to several hundreds. It is not unnatural, therefore, to expect that readers who have enjoyed so much the works of our native bards and bardesses should wish to know a little about the writers themselves. In these sketches I have endeavoured to place a little information of this kind, in a condensed form, within their reach. In making the selections, I have not been able in every case to give what I believed to be the best poem of each author. Indeed in many cases the length, or other circumstances, rendered it absolutely impossible for me to do so, but I believe there runs throughout every poem in the book - in a greater or less degree - that undefinable, but no less real, something which is never absent from true poetry.

Excerpt from A Treasury of Irish Poetry in the English Tongue On the other hand, the gain to Irishmen of speaking and writing in English is very great. It enables them to put their national aspirations, and the thoughts and passions which are best expressed in poetry, into a language which is rapidly becoming universal. It enables them to tell the world of literature of the ancient myths, legends, and stories of Ireland, and to represent them, in a modern dress, by means of a language which is read and understood by millions of folk in every part of the world. These considerations lie at the root of the matter, and if Irish writers do not deviate into an imita tion of English literature, but cling close to the spirit of their native land, they do well for their country when they use the English tongue.

Excerpt from A Book of Irish Verse: Selected From Modern Writers They were losing with Gaelic, and these methods, which have shaped the literary thought of Ireland to our time, could not be the same as the methods of a movement which, so far as it is more than an instinctive expression of certain moods of the soul, endeavours to create a reading class among the more leisured classes, which will preoccupy itself with Ireland and the needs of Ireland. The peasants in eastern counties have their Young Ireland poetry, which is always good teaching and sometimes good poetry, and the peasants of the western counties have beautiful poems and stories in Gaelic, while our more leisured classes read little about any country, and nothing about Ireland. We cannot move these classes from an apathy, come from their separation from the land they live in, by writing about politics or about Gaelic, but we may move them by becoming men of letters and expressing primary emotions and truths in ways appropriate to this country. One carries on the traditions of Thomas Davis, towards whom our eyes must always turn, not less than the traditions of good literature, which are the morality of the man of letters, when one is content, like A E. With fewer readers that one may follow a more hidden beauty; or when one. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Excerpt from Modern Anglo-Irish Verse: An Anthology Selected From the Work of Living Irish Poets This is an anthology of verse by some living Irish poets. It does not include selections from the work of every one writing verse in Ireland to-day, and I have quoted only from three or four writers who have severed connection with their country and are gone to reside abroad. It is not merely a book of poets and poetasters for if the preparation of anything so comprehensive - and for that matter so valueless - had been my aim, I could easily have doubled the number of names herein represented. On the other hand, although this book contains no poem that does not reach a relatively (high standard of excellence, as it con tains dialect work, historical ballads, and a variety of miscellaneous verse, it cannot be described as an anthology of great poems.

Excerpt from The Popular Poets and Poetry of Ireland: And Choice Selections in Prose From the Works of Famous Irish Writers and Orators MID such splendid wealth as is contained in the treasure-house of Irish poetry, it is a difficult task to make selections which shall do justice at once to the richness and varietv of material. Each new exactment made upon it only brightens the sense of pride and joy which the children of the land have ever felt in contemplating its riches; and the day is yet far distant which shall exhaust its resources. Development only makes more apparent the range of its possibilities. But where so much is valuable, individual taste and preference must in the end become the standard of choice, - and individual taste may sometimes clash with popular preference. In the present collection, decision has been reached only after careful study, and much thought has been given to details. The book, as a whole, will be found to contain as judicious a selection. And to cover a wider field than any that has so far been presented to the public, while in the important points of letterpress and finish it. Is plainly beyond criticism. The short biographical notice which appears as an introduction to the work of each Author has been restricted to the, smallest limit, and made to contain only the most important facts connected with the life and labors of the subject. In most cases the writers are too well known to need any more formal presentation to their countrymen: but even under different conditions, limitations of space Would necessitate similar treatment.
