The Pursuit of Diarmuid and Gráinne is one of the greatest Irish prose narratives. A tale from the Fenian Cycle of Irish mythology, it concerns a love triangle between the great warrior Fionn mac Cumhaill, the beautiful princess Gráinne, and her paramour Diarmuid ua Duibhne. This text, edited by Nessa Ní Shéaghdha, is considered as the authorative version of the tale.

“Ach oiread le haon scothshaothar ealaíne eile, caitheann an Tóraíocht a sholas féin ar na cúinní dorcha i gcroí diamhair an duine. Ní móide go n-ídeofar a bhrí go mbeidh deireadh le suim an duine sa chroí daonna.” — Dr Louis de Paor
