LOEBER, Rolf & Magda. Ed. by.  Irish Poets and their Pseudonyms in Early Periodicals. Dublin, Edmund Burke Publisher, 2007. pp. xxii, 168. Fine in illustrated d.j. €65

Many Irish poems remain hidden in the periodicals and were published under pseudonyms.  Therefore, the identity of hundred of Irish poets often is elusive. The discovery of a manuscript of pseudonyms of Irish poets made this volume possible. It lists over 1,200 pseudonyms for 504 Irish poets whose work appeared in over 500 early periodicals published in Ireland, England, North America, and Australia.

Rolf Loeber and Magda Loeber are researchers at the medical school of the University of Pittsburgh. They have both extensively published on Irish history and literature. Their most recent book is A Guide to Irish Fiction (Dublin: Four Courts Press, 2006).
