The extraordinary interest evinced in this saga is not confined to ancient or medieval times, but continues unabated down to our own day, if we may judge by the attention it has received at the hands of authors, editors, and translators. Nearly every foremost scholar of the nineteenth century has dealt with it in text, or notes, and translation. Of many and various publications in modern times, the following will suffice to show the place it holds in Celtic literature. The texts, printed sometimes with notes and translation, are usually of different versions. O’Flanagan, _Transactions of the Gaelic Society of Dublin_, 1808; O’Curry, _Atlantis_, vol. iii. 1860, from Yellow Book of Lecain; Campbell, _Leabhar na Feinne_, 1872; Windisch, _Irische Texte_, vol. i. Leipzig, 1880; Dr. Whitley Stokes, _Irische Texte_, vol. ii. Leipzig, 1887, the former from Book of Leinster, the latter from MSS. LIII. and LVI., Advocates’ Library. Dr. Cameron’s _Reliquiæ Celticæ_, also from MS. LVI. Windisch, O’Curry’s and O’Flanagan’s texts, reprinted _Gaelic Journal_, Dublin, 1882–84. Carmichael, _Transactions of the Gaelic Society of Inverness_, vol. xiii. 1887, an admirable folk-lore version taken down in the Western Isles from oral recitation. Angus Smith, in his _Loch Etive and Sons of Uisneach_, treats it fictionally in dialogue form, 1879. Keating tells the tale in his _History of Ireland_. It is found in part in the Welsh story of Peredur, taken apparently from a fifteenth century MS. Mr. Joseph Jacobs has given in English dress, in _Celtic Fairy Tales_, an abridged account from Carmichael’s version. Of French translators, H. d’Arbois de Jubainville, M. Georges Dottin, and M. Louis Ponsinet may be mentioned. Of poetical English versions there is no lack. Macpherson treated it specially in Darthula, Sir James Ferguson dramatised it, Dr. Joyce published it in America (Deirdre: Boston and Dublin), and Drs. Todhunter and Douglas Hyde have given other renderings. Mr. T. W. Rolleston made it the subject of the Prize Cantata of the Fèis Ceoil in Dublin in 1897. Truly a marvellous output of texts and translations, rivalling any in the whole range of our Gaelic literature. And the above catalogue does not by any means exhaust the list. The wonder is that the saga should be found in remote and outlying corners of the Highlands floating by oral tradition down to our own time. Fletcher got a version about 1750, Irvine took down part of the verse about 1801 from a fox-hunter on Tayside, Carmichael from an old Macneill in Barra in 1871. The story is of additional interest to us because it is laid partly in Ireland and partly in Scotland, among that beautiful scenery around Loch Etive so well known to native and tourist.
