Summary:

In the twenty-first century, the rich traditions of Irish folklore are engaged in a constant process of regeneration, where the old and the new, the oral, the textual and the visual intermingle. This volume examines the variety of ways in which folklore traditions are re-purposed and reinvented in contemporary Ireland.
