Book excerpt: Excerpt from Dublin in Irish Legend I have brought together in this essay such references to localities in the County Dublin as my reading of the Heroic Period of Irish History afforded. It will be understood that as Dublin was not a place of any importance in Ireland at the earliest times of which we have any record it is not frequently mentioned in our old stories, and I venture to think that allusion has been made to almost all its legendary associations. The knowledge of these legends will, I hope, serve to heighten the love which Dubliners have for the beautiful country around the city, and to give an added interest to scenes which are lovely in themselves, and which are already endeared by many associations and memories. Only such portions of the legends as refer to places in the county have been referred to. To have told the stories in full would require a much larger work than the present essay, and would have been foreign to the purpose which it is intended to serve. For those who wish to read the originals, I append a list of the more important sources from which information has been obtained: Crimthann Nuad Nair - D'Arbois de Jubainville: Le Cycle Mythologique Irlandais, cap. XV. Tristan and Iseult - Gottfried Von Strassburg. (English Version by Jessie L. Weston). Legends of the Fianna - Standish Hayes O'Grady: Silva Gadelica passim.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Legends and Stories Ireland Though the sources whence these stories are derived are open to every one, yet chance or choice may prevent thousands from making such sources available; and though the village crone and mountain guide have many hearers, still their circle is so circumscribed, that most of what I have ventured to lay before my readers, is, for the first time, made tangible to the greater portion of those who do me the favour to become such. In one story alone - "Paddy the Piper" - I have no claim to authorship, and this I take the earliest opportunity of declaring, and as I have entered upon my confessions, it is, perhaps, equally fair to state that although most of the tales are authentic, there is one purely my invention, namely, "The Gridiron."

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Legendary Heroes of Ireland The early Celts have little literature other than these stories, which have been handed down from generation to generation by word of mouth. Most of the tales in this book have been taken from the Ossianic Saga. Whether Finn belongs to history or mythology detracts no jot from the absorbing inter est Of his exploits. I have tried to make the story of Finn something of a connected narrative. To do this I have taken incidents from various versions; I have left out much unsuitable to children, and I have changed some inci dents to conform to the modern standards Of morals. The chronology of arrangement is my own, but I have tried to preserve the spirit of the originals. No collection Of Irish folk stories could be brought out were it not for the work Of those many scholars who have spent years in collecting and translating the tales of the Celtic race. To our American lin guist, Jeremiah Curtin, and to the Irish scholars Sir Douglas Hyde, Dr. Joyce, Eleanor Hull, Lady Gregory, T. W. Rolleston and others, my thanks are due. Their Splendid research work has made pos sible such a volume as this. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Soon after the appearance of The Origin and History of Irish Names of Places, I received from correspondents in various parts of Ireland communications more or less valuable on the topo graphy, legends, or antiquities of their respective localities.

Download or read book Fionn mac Cumhail written by James MacKillop and published by Syracuse University Press. This book was released on 1985-12-01 with total page 292 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Gaelic hero Fionn mac Cumhaill (often known in English as Finn MacCool) has had a long life. First cited in Old Irish chronicles from the early Christian era, he became the central hero of the Fenian Cycle which flourished in the high Middle Ages. Stories about Fionn and his warriors continue to be told by storytellers in Ireland and in Gaelic Scotland to this day. This book traces the development of Fionn's persona in Irish and Scottish texts and constructs a heroic biography of him. As aspects of the hero are borrowed into English and later world literature, his personality undergoes several changes. Seen as less than admirable, he may become either a buffoon or a blackguard. Somehow these contradictions exist side by side. Among the writers in English most interested in Fionn are James Macpherson, the "translator" of The Poems of Ossian ( 17601, William Carleton, the first great fiction writer of nineteenth-century Ireland, and Fiann O'Brien, the multifaceted author of At Swim-Two-Birds. Aspects of Fiann appear as far apart as Mendelssohn's "Hebrides (or Fingal 's Cave) Overture" and a contemporary rock opera. But the most complex use of Fionn's story in modern literature is James Joyce's Finnegans Wake.

Donegal knows all that the south ever knew on the subject, and has perhaps even a greater wealth of information. It is admitted that in the city of Dublin the tribe does not now exist; but such is not the case even in this highly-civilised watering place of Bray, only twelve miles distant from the metropolis. In a word, this minor mythology was, may we not say still is, common to the whole island. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
