Robin Flower byl anglický básník a učenec, který se specializoval na keltskou a anglosaskou filologii a překládal z irštiny. Jeho dílo se vyznačuje hlubokým porozuměním starým literárním tradicím a jejich přenesením do moderního jazyka. Pro irské čtenáře je známý pod přezdívkou "Bláithín", což v překladu znamená "Malý kvítek". Jeho poezie a překlady oživují dávné příběhy a myšlenky s mimořádnou citlivostí a elegancí.
First published in 1947, these celebrated lectures and introductions to the medieval and modern Gaelic-speaking culture form a primary source for generations of scholars and readers, Celticists and medievalists. This edition is accompanied by Professor Delargy's In Memoriam and an updated bibliography of Flower's works.
First published in 1931, Robin Flower’s enchanting lyric poetry combines with his translations from the old, medieval and modern periods of Irish literature.
An increasing amount of work in many aspects of human geography is concerned with the effects caused by different types of institutions. Included in this book, originally published in 1982, is material from Britain, Ameican and Europe and it is shown that differences in institutional powers in these places, especially those vested in the State, relate directly to their own particular urban and environmental policies and problems. Each chapter, written by an expert on this subject, considers key institutions in a number of fields and draws conclusions about how this 'institutionalist' approach can be used by geographers.
