Abstract

This document is a review of two books: "Otherworld Women in Early Irish Literature" by Heather C. Key and "The Book of Kells, a Masterwork Revealed: Creators, Collaboration, and Campaigns" by Donncha MacGabhann. The review highlights the specialized nature of Key's book, which explores the status of women in early Ireland and their portrayal in literature. It also discusses MacGabhann's focus on the scribes and script of the Book of Kells, providing detailed analysis of the manuscript. The review suggests that both books are essential reading for scholars in their respective fields. [Extracted from the article]
