C?ailnge\u003c\/em\u003e, frequently referred to as the \u003cem\u003eT?in\u003c\/em\u003e, is one of the most important works of medieval Irish literature and has been called the national epic of Ireland. This new, judiciously abridged translation of the \u003cem\u003eT?in\u003c\/em\u003e renders the text in an approachable, colloquial style that nevertheless maintains enough accuracy to support close reading. This edition also contextualizes the \u003cem\u003eT?in\u003c\/em\u003e itself with numerous selections from the rest of the so-called Ulster Cycle--the related body of legends about the characters of the \u003cem\u003eT?in\u003c\/em\u003e, including accounts of their origins and their deaths. Also included are a full introduction; extensive footnotes, drawing on the most recent scholarship on the \u003cem\u003eT?in\u003c\/em\u003e, that provide clarifications, explanations, and background information; four maps showing the sites of major events in the epic; and a series of character trees to help readers keep track of the \u003cem\u003eT?in\u003c\/em\u003e's large cast of characters and their often complex interrelationships, among other valuable resources.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMatthieu Boyd\u003c\/strong\u003e is Professor of Literature and Chair of the School of the Humanities at Fairleigh Dickinson University.
