A Golden Treasury of Irish Verse (Macmillan Collector's Library)
From ancient times to the early twentieth century, Ireland has given the world some of its most luminous poetry. A Golden Treasury of Irish Verse gathers the very best—folklore and legend, often beautifully translated from Gaelic, alongside the polished verses of William Congreve, Thomas Moore, Moira O'Neill, Katharine Tynan, Padraic Colum and many more. First published in 1925 and carefully curated by Irish poet and dramatist Lennox Robinson, this collection was shaped with the help of W. B. Yeats and A. E. Housman, two giants of literary history, and remains a landmark anthology.
What unites these poems is excellence: whether exploring love and loss, home and country, freedom and conflict, each verse carries authentic emotion and craftsmanship. Reading through these pages is to witness Ireland's poetic soul—its defiance and tenderness, its longing and resilience, its wit and musicality. This Macmillan Collector's Library edition presents these timeless verses in an exquisitely designed pocket-sized volume, perfect for dipping into or reading cover to cover. Whether you're drawn to Irish literature, seeking nourishment from great poetry, or looking for an inspired gift, A Golden Treasury of Irish Verse is a treasured companion—a celebration of a nation's voice and a testament to poetry's enduring power to move the human heart.
