About this product
Product Information
A sweeping history of Ireland's native gods, from Iron Age cult and medieval saga to the Celtic Revival and contemporary fiction Ireland's Immortals tells the story of one of the world's great mythologies. The first account of the gods of Irish myth to take in the whole sweep of Irish literature in both the nation's languages, the book describes how Ireland's pagan divinities were transformed into literary characters in the medieval Christian era-and how they were recast again during the Celtic Revival of the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. A lively narrative of supernatural beings and their fascinating and sometimes bizarre stories, Mark Williams's comprehensive history traces how these gods-known as the T atha D Danann -have shifted shape across the centuries. We meet the Morr gan, crow goddess of battle; the fire goddess Brigit, who moonlights as a Christian saint; the fairies who inspired J.R.R. Tolkien's elves; and many others. Ireland's Immortals illuminates why these mythical beings have loomed so large in the world's imagination for so long.

Reviews
"Imaginative, well-written, and full of interesting information.... Williams's book is a magnificent and exciting undertaking." --Éilís Ní Dhuibhne, Irish Times, "Far too much writing on Irish mythology is disturbingly superficial, and that makes a book as comprehensive and learned as this one a welcome addition." ---Juliette Wood, Folklore, "[A] fascinating history.... Williams ... is equally at home in the arcana of Old Irish texts and modern English-language writing, and it is this range of erudition that has allowed him to write the first full overview of the long twilight of the Irish gods." --Fintan O'Toole, New York Review of Books, "What is really impressive in this book is Mark Williams's ability to bring together modern English and medieval Irish literature.... It is a beautifully written analysis, bursting with ideas and new insights." --Clare Downham, International Yeats Studies, "Mark Williams has written a very readable and hugely informative book with novel insights." ---Ephraim Nissan, Fabula, "Williams has a wealth of insight for his readers. No book like this has ever been written before; and all who seek to gain a better sense of its subjects ... will be in its author's debt." --John Carey, Studia Celtica

I really enjoyed the book. It was a good story and I loved spending more time with my favorite characters in my favorite universe. The book was described as like new so I was a bit disappointed that the cover was creased and bent up since I paid more for it but it was still in good condition.
