Synopsis
A tour through the origins of a medieval imagination: how Irish visions echo in later Dantean thought, and why the book matters to readers of myth and history.

It surveys the blend of Greek, Jewish, and Oriental influences that inform these visions and explains how they were received across Ireland and the wider Christian world.

It also discusses how Irish legends persisted and transformed in medieval literature.- Examines the Vision of Adamnan and the Fis Adamnanin and their imagery
- Traces cross-cultural influences from classical and Oriental sources
- Compares Irish visions with Dante and other medieval writings
