Anotace:	<em>Tales of the Elders of Ireland</em> is the first complete translation of the late Middle-Irish <em>Acallam na Senórach</em>, the largest literary text surviving from twelfth-century Ireland. It contains the earliest and most comprehensive collection of Fenian stories and poetry, intermingling the contemporary Christian world of Saint Patrick with his scribes; clerics; occasional angels and souls rescued from Hell; the earlier pagan world of the ancient, giant Fenians and Irish kings; and the parallel, timeless Otherworld (peopled by ever-young, shape-shifting fairies). This readable, lucid new translation is based on existing manuscript sources and is richly annotated, complete with an Introduction discussing the place of the <em>Acallam</em> in Irish tradition and the impact of the Fenian or Ossianic tradition on English and European literature.
