Blessed and the Damned
The Irish folklore of the Otherworld is rich in its many manifestations of supernatural beings and personages. Blending postmodern approaches with traditional methodologies, the author reviews the representation of women, sin and repentance in Irish folklore.The author suggests new ways of seeing this legend material, indicating strong links between the Irish and the French, specifically Breton, This is represented in many different genres of folklore, such as folktales, legends, ballads, memorates, beliefs and belief statements, and exists within the context of rich literary, historical and imaginative parallels.This book presents a new reading of Irish religious belief and legend in a meaningful socio-historical context, examining popular belief and narratives of sinful women and unbaptised children, as a way of understanding a particular worldview in Irish society.
