It is Ferguson's first substantial book and contained many of his best-known pieces from literary journals and anthologies, and much new material, including "The Tain-Quest" (about the rediscovery of the story of 'Tain bo Cuailnge'), etc. He labored tirelessly, to promote awareness of ancient Irish culture in Victoria Ireland and face great resistance from his own class and indifference form English critics. He greatly influenced the young W.B. Yeats, who wrote one of his earliest essays on the older poet and continued his use of Irish legend.
