This 1899 collection is important for a number of reasons. Even though Yeats, in his preface, states that he has sought to choose works of literary value and not only patriotic and political value, his selections clearly demonstrate a particular political and patriotic position. The assortment of poets is worth reading, and taken as a whole, the book demonstrates the importance Yeats and other Celtic Revivalists put on myth, lore, and history. There are many pieces here that employ the traditional figure of Ireland as a woman, a mother, a rose, Rosaleen, the Shan Van Vocht, along with Osian, Aideen, the banshee, fairies, the Children of Lir. The volume makes a political as well as a cultural statement. Less
