That Other World Vol. 2 : The Supernatural and the Fantastic in Irish Literature and Its Contexts Volume 1

The traditional folklore tales of Ireland involving the supernatural and the fantastic have had a profound influence on the shaping of the country and on Irish literature. No other country has produced so many famous authors whose work has reflected those influences. These themes were the subject of a symposium held in May 1998 at the Princess Grace Irish Library. The papers from this symposium are published in these two volumes.
