Summary: "This open-access book fills a huge gap in the study of classical reception in Irish literature by making accessible in translation selections from a wide variety of C10th-C15th texts. These texts are important because they demonstrate Ireland's indigenous and pre-colonial expertise in classical learning. Ireland thus emerges as a unique case in postcolonial terms where classical education is normally assumed to derive from a British imperial model. The ebook editions of this book are available open access under a CC BY-NC-ND 4.0 licence on www.bloomsburycollections.com. Open access was funded by the European Research Council"--PPN: PPN: 1916232353Package identifier: Produktsigel: ZDB-94-OAB
