Ireland in Fiction: A Guide to Irish Novels, Tales, Romances, and Folk-lore

A reference guide that catalogs fiction concerned with Ireland and the Irish abroad, arranged alphabetically by author and prefaced by short biographical sketches. Each entry supplies concise descriptive notes recording publication details and thematic content without offering personal judgments. The work includes appendices with classified lists (historical fiction, Gaelic epic, folklore, fairy tales, clerical life, humor), a combined title-and-subject index, and a list of periodical appearances and publishers. The compiler explains omissions of works in the Irish language, outlines the scope and method, and provides guidance on sources and contributors.
