Summary

The history of literary production in Ireland shows a traumatic cleavage between the Irish-Gaelic and English languages. The history of literary reception and canonicity shows, however, a bicultural literary continuum, constructed, from the early to mid-nineteenth century on, mainly by a tradition of anthologizing. This tradition still continues and incorporates both the production of scholarly text editions and poem collections for the general readership.
