Ulster Rises

I am proud to announce publication of Ulster Rises: Ten Essays on the Ulster Cycle, written by members of the Medieval Irish Literature class in spring 2012.

The essays were selected for their thoughtful analysis of early Irish literature, mainly of tales from the Ulster Cycle. We find the works discussed here to be deeply engaging, amusingly quirky, and surprisingly under appreciated in the American University setting. We hope this work encourages others to read the primary sources discussed here. The tales amply repay the effort.

Authors: Sean Lyddon, Kim Thomas, Jessica Walkowich, Cat Mount, Edward J. Horan, Eileen Echikson, Kevin Reilly, Kaitlyn Odgers, Richard Stickley, Stephanie Allen; editor: T. E. Kinsella.
