4.0 out of 5 stars
His Irish-language work,
This review is from: Poems and a Play in Irish (Paperback)
This little volume includes Behan's Irish-language writings: the poems and the original Irish-language version of The Hostage. Declan Kiberd tells about the background of Behan's Irish-language work in an introductory essay in English, parts of which later found their way into Kiberd's great analysis of modern Irish literature, Inventing Ireland.The Irish text has NOT been annotated or explained in any way. This might disappoint the learner who - seeing the English-only cover - buys the book expecting an annotated "easy-reader". One poem is in two languages, though. Behan's poems are not always excellent Irish; many are, though; and in the play, he shows amazing mastery of many nuances dificult for a learner.
