Ronald Black catalogues an astonishing range of themes, from war and politics to love and nature, and from religion to ribaldry. But above all the focus of this collection is on ordinary women and men in their communities, how they saw each other and how they lived their lives.
The poems are laid out in facing page translation with full notes and a substantial introduction and commentary. This is the first book ever to be dedicated to the full range and versatility of one of the golden ages of Gaelic culture and features poets of European stature and significance.
Among the poets included are Neil MacVurich, Dugald Buchanan, Duncan Macintyre, John MacCodrum, Alexander MacDonald, Rob Donn, Mary MacPherson and William Ross. |
