Summary:
"An
anthology
of
Gaelic
verse
with English translation, and introductions to the poetry and its themes. This book covers the main types and topics of poetry produced in
Gaelic
during the
19th
century
. Ten primary themes are involved - homeland, clearances, emigration, transport, panegyric, love, war, humor, moral exhortation and religious experience. The
anthology
shows how
Gaelic
poets reacted to the many changes which were taking place in both their native Highland communities and their adopted communities in the Lowlands and beyond. It also offers a look at the literary creativity of the
19th
century
, and aims to show a greater range of poetic skills and approaches than has been previously recognized. As the poets respond to the "
wiles
of the
world
", their output covers elegies on death to songs of humor, from nostalgia for a lost
world
to the joy of a new-found religious faith"--Provided by publisher.
