Autorenporträt
Alfred Perceval Graves (1846–1931), an eminent figure in the Irish literary landscape, was a celebrated poet, songwriter, and folklorist whose contributions were pivotal to the Irish Literary Revival. Graves was born in Dublin to an Anglo-Irish family and held a deep appreciation for Irish folklore and tradition, which substantially influenced his literary work. Best known for his collection 'A Celtic Psaltery' (1917), Graves sought to preserve the rich cultural tapestry of Ireland through his writings, capturing the essence of Gaelic heritage and mythology in verse inspired by traditional Celtic themes and rhythms. A scholarly polymath, Graves served in various academic and administrative capacities, exhibiting keen enthusiasm for educational advancement. His literary style, marked by lyricism and a profound sense of cultural nationalism, reverberated across his oeuvre, affirming his legacy as a custodian of Irish culture. Beyond 'A Celtic Psaltery', Graves penned numerous songs and ballads, some of which, like 'Father O'Flynn', achieved widespread popularity and remain enduring fixtures in the canon of Irish music. His work not only celebrated Irish identity but also played a strategic role in the Celtic cultural resurgence of the late 19th and early 20th centuries, weaving a connected narrative between Ireland's storied past and its emerging national consciousness.
