520			_a"A Literary History of Ireland, from Earliest Times to the Present Day" by Douglas Hyde is a historical account written in the late 19th century. The book provides an in-depth exploration of Irish literature, focusing predominantly on works from the Irish-speaking population while deliberately omitting the Anglicised authors from the last two centuries. It seeks to illuminate the rich tapestry of Ireland's literary heritage and highlight its significance within the broader context of national identity. The opening of the work sets the stage by establishing the author's intent and scope. Hyde explains the necessity of documenting the Irish literary tradition, which has been overlooked in previous histories. He emphasizes the vibrant literary culture among the Irish-speaking populace, marked by oral traditions and a collective appreciation for literature. As he discusses the rich historical background of Irish literature, he begins to outline the development of the Celtic identity and hints at the future chapters of his book that will delve into various literary forms, including poems, sagas, and historical narratives, crucial for understanding Ireland's past and its relationship with its language and culture.
