Edited and introduced by the celebrated Irish poet and playwright Padraic Colum, this landmark collection gathers the most resonant voices in Irish literary history — from anonymous medieval lyrics and Gaelic laments to the towering figures of W.B. Yeats, James Stephens, and Oliver Goldsmith — into one authoritative volume.\n\nColum's editorial vision illuminates the deep currents of faith, rebellion, longing, and landscape that course through the Irish poetic tradition, offering readers both a literary education and an emotional journey. His introductory essay situates each era within its historical and cultural context, arguing for the essential unity of Irish verse across centuries of political upheaval and artistic transformation. Published by Liveright of New York, this anthology remains an indispensable companion for any reader wishing to understand the singular music of the Irish literary imagination — a tradition that continues to haunt and enchant long after the final page is turned.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Secondhand Stock","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49130691166427,"sku":"2026200010383-SECONDHAND","price":12.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0523\/7646\/9701\/files\/1bf3f1cd-6eed-4ae7-93e3-848fec5a102f.png?v=1786588488","url":"https:\/\/bookgrocer.com\/products\/2026200010383-secondhand-an-anthology-of-irish-verse","provider":"Book Grocer","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
