An tuil

"For the first time, a full canon of twentieth-century Scottish Gaelic verse is available in one volume. An Tuil is a unique bilingual anthology providing an overview of the high achievement and dramatic development of Gaelic verse in the twentieth century." "One hundred Gaelic poets of the century are represented through over 350 poems, including the works of Domhnall Ruadh Choruna, Donald Macintyre, Sorley MacLean, George Campbell Hay, Derick Thomson, Iain Chricton Smith and Donald John MacDonald. The poetry deals with a range of subjects - comedy and satire, love and war, religion and politics. The chronological listing by poet, and extensive and detailed biographies, amount to a study of the Gaelic experience of the twentieth century. Complete with an informative introduction by Ronald Black, this definitive anthology presents the Gaelic view of the twentieth century and offers a literary perspective radically different from existing collections."--Jacket.
