AB  - "This collection of essays in honour of Máire Herbert focuses primarily on the textual culture of Ireland (in Latin and Irish) in its historical context from the medieval to the modern. Contributions engage with genres such as poetry, saga, hagiography, apocrypha, and 'historical tales,' and with themes that range from the cults of the saints in early medieval Ireland to the literary portrayal of women; this sustained interrogation by some of the foremost experts in their disciplines results in numerous fresh insights and new perspectives"--Publisher description
