The Editors of the journal, Dr Sparky Booker (Dublin City University) and Professor Ciarán Mac Murchaidh (Dublin City University) are delighted to offer the following introduction to the selected articles:

This autumn marks the launch of the 50th volume of Studia Hibernica. This journal of Irish studies has provided a lively forum for scholarly debate in the field of Irish Studies since its foundation in 1961. Studia Hibernica publishes research from established and emerging scholars in the fields of Irish language and literature, history, archaeology, folklore and related disciplines. It also provides a long review section for newly published works in Irish studies. We hope you enjoy this selection of articles from across the range of disciplines covered by the journal, available free of charge to celebrate the 50th volume!
