Synopsis The Tain of the Mirror by : Rodolphe Gasché
Deconstruction is no game of mirrors, revealing the text as a play of surface against surface. Its more radical philosophical effort is to get behind the mirror and question the very nature of reflection. The Tain of the Mirror explores that gritty surface without which no reflection would be possible.

Synopsis The Tain of Hamlet by : Laurie Johnson
Shakespeare's Hamlet is considered by many to be the cornerstone of the English literary canon, a play that remains universally relevant. Yet it seems likely that we have spent so long reading the play for its capacity to reflect ourselves that we have lost sight of the thing itself.

This is not simply the search for what the play me...

Synopsis Aspects of the Táin by : J. P. Mallory
Publisher description: The account of Cú Chulainn's single-handed defence of Ulster against the assembled armies of Queen Medb of Connacht is recognized as the centrepiece of Irish heroic epic as well as a mine of information about the behaviour and beliefs of early Irish. This text attempts to bring together for the modern reader an account of the historical development of the tale, how it succeeds or fails as literature, and to what extent it is a 'window on the Iron Age'.
