The Countess Kathleen

The Countess Kathleen Synopsis

Excerpt from The Countess Kathleen: And Various Legends and Lyrics

Ireland having a huge body of tradition be hind her in the depths of time, will probably draw her deepest literary inspiration from this double fountain-head if she ever, as is the hope of all her children, make for herself a great distinctive poetic literature. She has already many moving songs and ballads which are quite her own. The Countess Kathleen, like The Wanderings of Oisin, is an attempt to unite a more ample method to feeling not less national, Celtic, and distinctive.
