The editor presents new translations and analyses of the poems, songs and other writings in Irish translated by Charlotte Brooke in 1789. This publication marked one of the first interactions between the oral tradition in the Irish language and print culture in Ireland and is important in the wider context of the discovery of popular culture by the upper classes and an associated interest in antiquarianism, at a time when traditional popular culture was seen to be in retreat.

About Us

Irish Interest in based on one very simple idea: to bring the contents of any Irish bookshop to people everywhere, especially those outside Ireland who do not have the possibility of keeping abreast of new books published in Ireland. The Irish Interest web platform is purely a provider of information about new publications. The aim of the site is to have every publishing house in Ireland adding their latest titles as they become available. Hyperlinks to each title bring users of the site directly to the publisher's web area or to a sales site where books can be purchased.
