London

John Murray

1902

In this first edition of a cornerstone of the Irish Revival, Lady Gregory retells the Irish national epic the Táin bó Cúailnge, by creating a version of it in a local dialect she called Kiltartan. In his preface, Yeats calls the book “the best to come out of Ireland in my lifetime.”
