An Irish Literature Reader: Poetry, Prose, Darma, Second Edition (Irish Studies) Paperback – July 10, 2006

excellent representative selection of Irish literature.I would like to see more of Yeats literature

This has always been a good anthology, especially for teaching, but the new edition makes it even stronger. Contemporary poets get fuller treatment (for example, Heaney gets 12 poems, instead of 5, ni Dhomhaill gets 9, instead of 2). And the final new section of "Late Twentieth-Century Fiction and Drama" adds several great pieces. Still no Joyce or Yeats or several other luminaries, under the theory that people who would read this book already have those authors at hand. The result is a really good book for supplementing single-author texts.
