Description

Book Synopsis
In presenting four substantial, historically valuable collections from the nineteenth and twentieth centuries, this book illustrates how understanding the motivations and training (or lack thereof) of individual music collectors significantly informs how we should approach their work and contextualize their place in the folk music canon.

Trade Review
A compelling and highly original study of Irish traditional music collecting. No author has previously undertaken such a comprehensive local study of music collections in Ireland, locating them both in terms of Irish cultural and wider disciplinary history. This is a major contribution."" - Diarmuid Ó GiollÁin, University of Notre Dame

""NÍ Chonghaile's expertise in both musical scholarship and the Irish language adds value to her innovative contribution. Singers, musicians, and collectors emerge in their full humanity, their emotional attachment to their culture clearly apparent."" - Lillis Ó Laoire, National University of Ireland, Galway
