Modern

The Untilled Field

George Moore’s stories of rural Ireland: priests, emigrants and small farmers, and the young who want to leave. He wrote them to be translated into Irish for the Gaelic League, and they appeared in Irish before this English edition of 1903. It is often counted the first modern Irish book of short stories.
