Irish Myths and Legends Vol 2: Cuchulain and the Red Branch of Ulster

by Lady Augusta Gregory

Beautifully designed new hardback edition of Lady Gregory’s definitive collection of the Ulster Cycle of Irish myths and legends, first published in 1902

Lady Augusta Gregory’s collection and translation of Irish folk legends brings, as Yeats observed, ‘Ireland’s gift of imagination to the world’.

Following on from the bestselling Irish Myths and Legends: Gods and Fighting Men, this second volume, originally titled Cuchulain of Muirthemne, tells of the brave exploits of Ireland’s answer to Achilles, the fearless Cuchulain and the Red Branch of Ulster, as well as the overpowering love of his wife Emer.

Forming part of the bedrock of Gaelic legend, and translated faithfully from the idiom of Irish oral storytellers, this new volume is essential reading for anyone with an interest in Gaelic culture.

340 pages.
