Summary "Lyra Celtica: An Anthology of Representative Celtic Poetry" by Elizabeth A. Sharp and J. Matthay is a collection of Celtic poetry that likely spans the late 19th century. This anthology features a diverse array of poems from ancient Irish, Scottish, Welsh, and Breton traditions, as well as modern works, capturing the essence and themes of Celtic literature across various regions. Readers can expect a rich exploration of emotions and musicality that characterize the voices from the Celtic world. The opening of "Lyra Celtica" presents an introduction by William Sharp, who discusses the anthology's intent to represent a broad spectrum of Celtic poetry while acknowledging the limitations of its scope. He emphasizes the connection between modern and ancient Celtic literature, hinting at a future, more comprehensive collection titled "Anthologia Celtica." Sharp reflects on the enduring qualities of Celtic poetry, its history, themes of longing and beauty, and the cultural context from which it arises, setting the stage for the poems that follow. The anthology begins with the "Mystery of Amergin" and showcases a selection of notable pieces such as "Deirdrê’s Lament" and "The Lament of Queen Maev," all of which highlight the deep emotional landscape and mythic resonance inherent in Celtic poetic traditions.
