About this book
An Craoibhín Aoibhinn was the Irish pen name of Douglas Hyde, who here surveys the literature of Irish-speaking Ireland from its earliest period to his own day. His preface says "a Literary History of Irish Ireland" would be the truer title, since he leaves out English-language writers such as Swift, Goldsmith and Burke. He stresses traditional song, saga and poem, and the shared literary taste of ordinary people, and gives many sample passages. The book appeared in 1899 and is dedicated to the Gaelic League, which Hyde had helped found.
