By Alfred Perceval Graves

Book Overview

A Celtic Psaltery is a book of English verse translations of Irish and Welsh poetry, compiled and edited by Alfred Perceval Graves and published in 1917. The book is a collection of poems that are inspired by Celtic mythology, folklore, and history. The poems are arranged in the style of a psaltery, a musical instrument that was popular in medieval times, and are intended to be read or recited as a form of prayer or meditation. The book includes translations of works by well-known poets such as William Butler Yeats, Lady Gregory, and Thomas Moore, as well as lesser-known poets and anonymous works. The translations are faithful to the original texts and capture the beauty and power of the Celtic poetic tradition.
