Product Description
Kilcash in Ireland is best known to-day for the Irish song named after it. However, behind the song there is a lengthy past which this book sets out to unfold. Drawing on archaeological, historical and literary material, the authors narrate the story of Kilcash from the middle ages to the ruin of its castle at the beginning of the nineteenth century.
The happenings of the area are located in the context of some of the important moments of Irish history in which its people were involved. In the process, once famous - though now oft forgotten - inhabitants of Kilcash are resurrected, alongside some of the more marginal figures who left behind some trace of their passing. A newly edited and translated text of Cill Caise based on the extant nineteenth-century manuscript is accompanied by a poetic translation by Eilean Ni Chuilleanain
The book is well illustrated with photographs, portraits and line drawings. The appendices contain a full list of gravestone inscriptions in 'Old' Kilcash. This book brings to life the storied past of Kilcash's castle, church, manor and parish as well as the people who gave it an honoured place in Ireland's history.
