Ella Young Volgorde van de boeken

This slim volume contains a selection of poems by the Irish poet and mystic Ella Young. Known for her visionary and spiritual writing, Young's work is an important contribution to the Irish literary tradition.

The book delves into the life of Ella Young, a pivotal figure in the preservation of Irish folklore and culture during the late 1800s. As a member of the Celtic Revival, she gathered ancient tales and taught Gaelic, deeply connecting with the land and its spirituality. Known as "Airmid," she embraced her identity as a healer and storyteller, engaging with the faery folk of Ireland. This collection, curated by John Matthews and Denise Sallee, showcases her enchanting poetry and mythical narratives, celebrating her unique contributions to Irish heritage.

Ella Young (1867-1956) was an Irish poet, political activist, and mystic. Her interest in Theosophy led her to become an early member of the Hermetic Society, and her acquaintance with George William Russell led to her becoming one of his select group of proteges, known as the "singing birds". Her first volume of verse, titled simply Poems, was published in 1906. She became friends with Yeats's erstwhile flame Maud Gonne, and Gonne illustrated her first book of stories, Celtic Wonder Tales (1910). Although she continued to write poetry, it was for her redactions of traditional Irish legends that she became best known; among her later books were The Wonder Smith, The Tangle-Coated Horse, and The Unicorn with Silver Shoes. Later in life, Young emigrated to the United States. Her later writings grew increasingly mystical, and she found particular affinity in the California Redwoods.

The book focuses on republishing classic works from the early 1900s and earlier, which have become rare and costly. It aims to provide affordable, high-quality modern editions that preserve the original text and artwork, making these timeless pieces more accessible to contemporary readers.
