History of Ireland by Standish O’Grady

This two-volume work is an edited version of O'Grady's great achievements: History of Ireland: The Heroic Period, History of Ireland: Cuculain and His Contemporaries and A History of Ireland: Critical and Philosophical. These edited works provide the scholarly reader with insights into O'Grady's subjects and methods, and help restore the luster due to the progenitor of the Irish Revival (in the opinion of W.B. Yeats and many others).
