Scholarly, Academic, Historically Comprehensive; Where's the Humor?,
By
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: The New Oxford Book of Irish Verse (Oxford Books of Verse) (Paperback)
This is a very scholarly textbook. It absolutely does what it sets out to do: provide an academic overview of the breadth of the history of Irish and English poetry from Ireland. That being said, where's the humor? Where's the humanity? Political and ecclesiastical history are well represented, and there's blood and tragedy a'plenty; but where are the people? I have to assume that I purchased something with extremely flawed expectations, but maybe that will help you decide whether to buy it.
