Review # 1 was written on 2011-07-24 00:00:00 Gail Wenger This book is available on Ebrary, which means you can read it on your kindle if you have an account (you'll need $5 the first time you set up, but after that no more unless you print): No quotes for you I'm afraid as kindle can't do highlights there, but this book is mostly painful to read. Hopefully the rest of the course won't be like this. Very insightful way of looking at the Irish classics as cultural colonialism though. Focusses on Yeats, Synge and Joyce.

Review # 2 was written on 2015-03-29 00:00:00 Cynthia Fedo Very thorough introduction to the literature of medieval Iceland. The book is set up in a way to guide the reader to the topic in a chronological order, starting with an introduction to Iceland itself, the setting of much of the literature concerned, through to the impact the works have had on later scholars, authors and poets. In a sense, rather than providing a detailed picture of the literature itself, O'Donoghue places it in context, or rather contexts.
