Irish Literature

CELT, the Corpus of Electronic Texts, brings the wealth of Irish literary and historical culture to the Internet, for the use and benefit of everyone worldwide. It has a searchable online database consisting of contemporary and historical texts from many areas, including literature and the other arts.

Includes modern English translations of The Colloquy with the Ancients, The Vision of Adamnán (Fis Adamnáin), The Irish Æneid (Imtheachta Æniasa), The Voyage of Bran (Immram Brain), The Feast of Bricriu (Fled Bricrend), The Destruction of Dá Derga's Hostel, The Pursuit of the Gilla Decair and his Horse, The Tain, The Vision of MacConglinne (Aislinge Meic Conglinne), The Wandering of Ulixes Son of Laertes (Merugud Uilix Maicc Leirtis), The Death of the Sons of Usnach, as well as Giraldus Cambrensis' ''Conquest of Ireland'' and ''Topography of Ireland.''

A searchable bibliography of texts -- from private letters, wills, and household accounts to literary works, philosophical treatises, chronicles, court proceedings, church records, and a host of other documents -- that were written in the Middle Ages and are now available in printed or online editions and translations. The aim is to provide annotated entries that include information on the genre, contents, archival reference and original language of the text, as well as whether the publication includes a translation, introduction, appendices, glossary, and index. Where appropriate, the bibliography also includes hyperlinks to sources that are online.
