Excerpt from Wakeman's Handbook of Irish Antiquities The year 1848, what may be styled a precursor of my present "Handbook of Irish Antiquities" was published. Since then a new impulse, leading to the study of Archaeology in this country, has, for various reasons, steadily prevailed. In the first place, our antiquarian writers, as a rule, no longer propounded the visionary theories of an older school. Secondly, publications like the Journal of the Kilkenny Society, the Ulster Journal of Archaeology, that of the Irish Archaeological Society, the Proceedings and other works emanating from the Royal Irish Academy, amongst which the Catalogue of Antiquities preserved in the Museum of that body, by the late Sir William Wilde, takes a foremost place, were well calculated to place students - particularly of Celtic archaeology - in the right way of investigation. But besides the Societies, not a few independent observers were individually at work. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

This work considers the way two Anglo-Irish poets, W.B. Yeats and Seamus Heaney, have used archaeology in their work, and how it surfaced in their lives. As well as providing insights on Yeats and Heaney, their poetry and its analysis provides a filter for an original reading of the history of archaeology as it emerged from the mid-nineteenth century. Christine Finn draws on an array of data, tracing the path of the poets through museums, their childhood landscapes, and archaeological sites in Ireland, Italy and Scandinavia.
