Abstract

Excerpt

This is a very ambitious work, in which the author seeks to 1) present early Irish beliefs concerning the Tuatha De Danann (Tribes of the Goddess Danu) as revealed in medieval Irish literary tradition; 2) describe the modern (19th- and 20th-century) Irish folk beliefs concerning the fairies, thought to derive from the Tuatha De Danann; and 3) investigate the changes in W.B. Yeats’s views of the Otherworld between his writing of The Countess Cathleen and the publication of Responsibilities.
