Klappentext
In the same way that Andrew Carpenter's 1998 anthology "Verse in English from Eighteenth-Century Ireland" changed our perception of Irish writing in English from that period, so this companion volume "Verse in English from Tudor and Stuart Ireland" explodes the myth that no English verse of value has survived from sixteenth- or seventeenth-century Ireland. As this exciting and original anthology shows, hundreds of poets were active in Ireland at the time. The work of a few of them -- Edmund Spenser and the young Jonathan Swift in particular - is well-known today: but almost everything else in this anthology -- taken from manuscripts or from the original printings -- appears here for the first time in over three hundred years. The poets who wrote these verses, otherwise unknown men and women from the worlds of the Old English and native Irish, or visitors or settlers newly arrived from England, emerge from the pages of this book as sardonic observers of the dangerous times in which they lived, and as writers of originality, freshness and, sometimes, of wit and ingenuity.

Zusammenfassung
This anthology of poetry from 16th- and 17th-century Ireland overturns the accepted view that very little English language poetry was written in Ireland between Spenser and Swift.
