The Story of Deirdre

Joseph Jacobs

First published 1892
Type Short Fiction
Length Short Story

Source: Celtic Magazine, xiii. pp.69, seq. Joseph Jacobs: "I have abridged somewhat, made the sons of Fergus all faithful instead of two traitors, and omitted an incident in the house of the wild men called here "strangers." The original Gaelic was given in the Transactions of the Inverness Gaelic Society for 1887, p.241, seq., by Mr. Carmichael. I have inserted Deirdre's "Lament" from the Book of Leinster."
