The Seandraoi
A collection of three folkloric tales from Cork, as collected by a scholar from the London Irish immigrant community in the aftermath of the Great Famine. All bear the hallmarks of antiquity: The Seandraoi, a druid, who predicts the fortunes of a newborn; Our Lady and the Two Farmers, a tale of Jesus's childhood; The Tailor's Prayers, a tale of fervent prayer and resurrection which may have evolved from a thirteenth century tale of St Edmund of Abingdon, Archbishop of Canterbury, as given in the chronicles of Lanercost Priory
Forgetful Remembrance
Forgetful Remembrance offers a new approach to the study of memory by focusing on vernacular historiographies and the notion of forgetting. Using the 1798 Irish Rebellion, Beiner explores how communities try to obscure inconvenient and uncomfortable events from the past.
Reading the Irish Woman
The first analysis of the Enlightenment and Irish women and the most comprehensive study to date of Irish women and American emigration. Irish women negotiated, selected and at times defied the representations of womanhood presented to them in official and commercially sponsored media.
The World of Imagery
Originally published in 1927, The World of Imagery is a study of the use of metaphor, simile, and other forms of literary imagery from the ancient Hebrew to the early twentieth century. It looks at the theory, including the nature and function of metaphor, followed by the application in various settings and finally showing illustrations and examples in everyday life.
The Other Poetry of Keats
Psychologically and philosophically oriented, this work concentrates on the minor poetry of Keats and how that poetry serves as an enlightenment to the artist's multifaceted mind and spirit.

Irish Literature
Irish literature's roots have been traced to the 7th-9th century. This is a rich and hardy literature starting with descriptions of the brave deeds of kings, saints and other heroes. These were followed by generous veins of religious, historical, genealogical, scientific and other works. The development of prose, poetry and drama raced along with the times. Modern, well-known Irish writers include: William Yeats, James Joyce, Sean Casey, George Bernard Shaw, Oscar Wilde, John Synge and Samuel Beckett.
