| 520 | _a"The Story of Ancient Irish Civilization" by P. W. Joyce is a historical account written in the early 20th century. The book aims to educate readers about the rich cultural and social history of Ireland from the fifth to the twelfth century, highlighting the achievements of the ancient Irish civilization, particularly during a time when it was governed by native rulers. It serves as a corrective to misconceptions that Ireland was barbaric prior to English influence, arguing instead for its intellectual and cultural advancements. At the start of the book, the author discusses his motivation for writing, emphasizing the need to provide an accessible narrative of ancient Irish civilization to both the Irish people and Anglophone readers who may hold misconceptions. He asserts that the ancient Irish were a sophisticated society with clearly defined social structures, professions, and laws, refuting the notion of a savage past. Joyce outlines the importance of understanding this history as part of the broader cultural renaissance occurring in Ireland at the time, inviting readers to appreciate the contributions of the ancient Irish to European civilization, including their role in education and the spread of Christianity.
