- Ireland's Immortals is the first monograph to investigate the gods of one of the world's great mythologies, addressing the medieval sources and their reception. In 245,000 words it covers archaeology, literature, visual art, and music. The date range runs from the first century AD to the present, revealing unsuspected connections in a sustained and detailed manner. The book presents a single narrative for a major strand in Ireland's culture, which necessitated knowledge of Irish in all its periods, plus expertise in Yeats studies, medieval studies, Irish history, Scottish literature, Classics, the history of occultism, and nineteenth and twentieth century poetry.
