Summary
Irish poetry is considered one of the oldest and most enriched sources of poetry in Europe. As a small nation with a less prominent contribution to world literature, the Irish have benchmarked some of their brightest examples in the form of Gaelic writings, and present an outstanding account of oral traditions and oral poetry that have passed down the generations to the contemporary 21st century (Aberdeen & Temair, 2005). Their literature represents various facets of Irish culture, history, and socio-cultural aspects reflected through magical verses of poems, the nature of which has transcended generations and established itself in the history of Europe (Auge, 2013). Irish poetry vividly explains the role played by some of the most famous writers, namely Jonathan Swift, Lawrence Sterne, Oliver Goldsmith, and Richard Sheridan, whose accounts, despite having English as their background, are considered bedrocks of contemporary Irish literary culture
