Aubrey Thomas de Vere (10 January 1814–20 January 1902) was an Irish poet, essayist, and critic. He was a great admirer of Wordsworth, who called his sonnets the most perfect of the age. They maintained a friendship that lasted until the death of Wordsworth.
His best-known works are: in verse, The Sisters (1861); The Infant Bridal (1864); Irish Odes (1869); Legends of St Patrick (1872); and Legends of the Saxon Saints (1879); and in prose, Essays chiefly on Poetry (1887); and Essays chiefly Literary and Ethical (1889).
He displayed a religious enthusiasm that led him to the Roman Catholic Church, and he wrote many devotional verses. He loved ancient Greek poetry, and he wrote his own versions of some of the famous myths. But, he may be mostly remembered for his attention to Celtic legend and literature, which eventually led to the Celtic revival.
This edition of his Legends of Saint Patrick is specially formatted with a Table of Contents and pictures of Ireland and characters from Irish folklore.
