Delve into the shadowy lore of Irish folklore with "Татьяна Андреевна Михайлова, Патриция Лайсафт Банши: фольклор и мифология Ирландии." This compelling volume unravels the mysteries of the banshee—one of Ireland's most enigmatic figures, a harbinger of death whose wailing cries and flowing white hair echo ancient Celtic beliefs about the link between the living and the afterlife.
The book combines three distinct studies. Patricia Lysaght explores the banshee’s origins, naming traditions, and its deep connection to noble Irish families. Tatyana Mikhailova then traces the figure’s mythological and historical roots, drawing parallels with Slavic "unclean dead," French "midnight washerwomen," and other cross-cultural death omens. An appendix by Anna Muradova examines a similar Breton figure, the Ankou, a messenger of death.
At a price of 1887.00 RUR, this scholarly but accessible text is ideal for folklorists, historians, and anthropologists, as well as anyone fascinated by Celtic mythology and European death traditions. Uncover the banshee’s enduring power—order your copy today from our Liverpool FC fan site’s curated collection.
