Sinopsis

Excerpt from The Critical Study of Irish Literature Indispensable for the History of the Irish Race

What has already been accomplished is, however, trifling in comparison with what remains to be done. Irish literary history is not, as is the Polar region, a term incognito; but it may be likened to the interior of the African continent som'o forty years ago. We can surmise roughly the course of the great streams; we can plot in loosely the position of the chief mountain ranges and lacustrine basins. Here and there a daring exploring raid has revealed the details as well as the rough outlines of a district. But we have, as far as the earlier and more interesting portion of Irish literature is concerned, got no fixed points of latitude or longtitude; we are destitute of even such rough surveys as may be accomplished by the sole aid of the compass and dead reckoning.
