Description
The Curse of the Wise Woman (1933) is a tale of rural Ireland and the magic of the red bog that is set mostly in the 1880s. Except that it is a retrospective tale narrated by an Irish consul in an unnamed Balkan country, and within the first three chapters, Dunsany specifically uses the words “silence”, “exile”, and “cunning” : he was not unaware of modernism. It is also a supernatural novel of considerable ambiguity, and a sporting novel containing one of the best fox-hunting chapters.
