Publisher's Synopsis
In the thirty years covered by this anthology, Maunsel & Co. published many major Irish poets who are part of the master narrative (Yeats, Gregory, Stephens etc.) but also 500 separate inclusions by lesser known or unknown poets. Professor Gardiner, head of Irish Studies at Creighton University, has rediscovered some important voices from the Celtic Twilight and reassesses their importance in light of Irish literary development.
