Epics of Celtic Ireland : Ancient Tales of Mystery and Magic

Breton scholar and poet Markale’s contribution to Celtic studies during his long career has been to make aspects of the culture accessible to a larger public rather than to grapple with minutiae. Here he describes and summaries the traditional Irish tales that comprise the mythological cycle, the Ulster cycle, the Cuchulainn cycle, the Finn cycle, and the cycle of the kings. The French original EpopTe celtiqe d’Irelande was first published in 1984 by +ditions Payot. Annotation c. Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
