About This Item
United Kingdom: Thames & Hudson, 1992. 272 pages, 152 Illustrations. The age of the myth lives on in Ireland - in folk tales and literature, in place-names and language, in ceremonies and monuments. This work explores Ireland\'s four provinces to discover the places at the root of Irish myth and legend. Focal mythic sites such as St Patrick\'s Purgatory in Ulster, Loster Gur in Munster and Dublin in Leinster, are described in detail. Finally Ireland is surveyed from a fifth province "Mide" where the entire island is seen to be held in a web of pre-historic sites aligned with solar-lunar events. Ireland\'s sacred locations take on contemporary relevance as the book shows that the underlying concerns of myth - conservation and recurrence - are increasingly present concerns.. First Edition. Cloth. Near Fine/Near Fine. 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall.
