| 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.
