Our friends in the School of Celtic Studies at the Dublin Institute for Advanced Studies are hosting a symposium on Saturday 17 September 2016 on the dánta grá, the courtly love poetry of early modern Ireland and Scotland. The symposium marks the centenary of the publication of the first edition of Dánta Grádha edited by Tomás Ó Rathile.
Speakers include Máirín Ní Dhonnchadha of NUI Galway, Ruairí Ó hUiginn of Maynooth University, and Damian McManus of Trinity College Dublin.
Registration is now open for the symposium. The cost is €25, with a reduced rate of €15 for students, and you can register online.
