Not for the nostalgic or the romantic who prefers a soft-focus vision of prelapsarian paradise to a real people and place. An anthology of stories, poems, songs, folklore, and extracts from longer works that explore the nature and condition of the Irish people through their attitudes towards a major holiday. Many juxtapositions of pieces contrast the experiences of the natives with those of the occupying forces. First published in Britain in 1985. No subject index. Annotation c.
