Revelations of Divine Love (Dover Value Editions)

by Julian
- Rated 0 stars
“I like this version of the Showings, because the two versions are both here, so they can more easily be compared. I use this version for classes where we're reading everything in translation, though. The original Middle English isn't that hard to get through.”

“Excellent collection of essays on medieval literature. (And by the way, there's an essay by Terry Jones, of Monty Python fame, in here; he was one of Kolve's students.)”

The Field Day Anthology of Irish Writing

by Andrew Carpenter, Jonathan Williams
- Rated 4 stars
“It's lovely that this collection carefully includes writing in Latin and in Irish, with translations. It presents a lot of excerpts, which can be frustrating -- what am I supposed to do with one act out of a five act play, for instance -- but that's a method of getting a LOT of work exposed, while keeping the collection down to three volumes. The small showing of women writers is addressed by the creation of a later two wolumes.”

The Field Day Anthology of Irish Writing Volumes IV and V: Irish Women's Writing and Traditions

by
- Rated 4 stars
“The paucity of women writers in the first Field Day collections led to these collections. They're deliberately inclusive; many genres not included in the first collections are in these.”
