Hawley-Plows S: The Ancient Ways

The Ancient Ways

These nine anonymous Irish tales, all more than a thousand years old, tell of mortals and supernatural creatures who dared to cross the boundary between this world and the Otherworld (síd) in pursuit of love. The stories--hardly known outside of Ireland--are sexier, funnier, and bloodier than better-known medieval myths and romances. Lisa M. Bitel, a historian and novelist, translates and retells the Irish originals in lively prose and poetry, using her expertise in Irish history and literature to guide modern readers through the otherworldly stories. Original drawings by Saba Joshaghani accompany these ravishing tales of wonder and romance.

Nine tales of early Irish literature beautifully retold in a modern, evocative style

A mysterious woman appears nightly at the bedside of a prince and sings to him until he falls sick with love for her. A determined hero tracks his beloved through several incarnations, struggling to win her back. A young warrior seeks a woman who turns into a swan. These are the plots of little-known, anonymous tales composed over a thousand years ago in the monastic libraries of Ireland. In poetry and prose, they tell us what happens when human and supernatural lovers cross the boundaries between our world and the Otherworld (síd). Set in a lost time of heroes, demi-gods, warrior queens, and other folk of the Irish Otherworld (áes síde), these stories inspired some of the earliest fairy tales of France and England. What is more, they are sexier, funnier, and bloodier than better-known medieval myths and romances. 

In Otherworld, historian and novelist Lisa M. Bitel offers lively retellings of these Irish original myths using her expertise in Irish history and literature to guide modern readers. She traces themes and characters that link the nine magical tales, explains customs and locations, and brings out the humor. Like all storytellers--whether medieval or modern, performers or scribes--Bitel interprets the originals as she leads her readers over the boundary of reality to the Otherworld. Drawings especially created for the book by Saba Joshaghani accompany these astonishing tales.

"For the first time, with this three-volume companion, students can access the full literary and historical significance of the Aeneid in translation through a commentary that unpicks Virgil's literary techniques, structural forms and historical resonances. Written by an experienced teacher and expert on the Aeneid this is an authoritative and accessible guide to students and non-specialists in Latin literature alike. Volume 1 contains a broad contextual introduction; the commentary on Books 1-6 are in Volume 2; and the commentary to Books 7-12 are in Volume 3"--

With this three-volume companion, students can access the full literary and historical significance of the Aeneid in English through an accessible yet authoritative line-by-line commentary. Written by an experienced teacher and expert on the Aeneid, this guide unpicks Virgil's literary techniques, structural forms and historical resonances. Volume 1 gives you a broad introduction to the historical and philosophical background of the epic; to Virgil's life and works; to the central human and divine characters met in the poem; to how the epic reflects Roman society and its values; to Virgil's literary and stylistic techniques; and to the reception of the epic in later periods. This book also features maps and family trees so you can trace the travels and lineage of the characters. Plus, the general index is a vital reference tool. It can be used with Volumes 2 and 3, or indeed any edition of the Aeneid in Latin or English, as entries are pegged to line numbers. Volumes 2 and 3 present a line-by-line commentary on the poem, with tables and box features illustrating key narrative arcs and structural patterns.
