An Tuil/The Flood: Anthology of 20th-Century Scottish Gaelic Verse

From children’s verse and nonsense rhymes to the intellectual verse of the 1940s and 1950s, this diverse account studies the Gaelic experience of the 20th century through comedy and satire, love and war, and religion and politics. Providing a unique and much-needed overview of the high achievement and dramatic development of Gaelic, this anthology sets each poem into their cultural and literary context and offers a literary perspective radically different from existing collections.
