Annals of the Irish Harpers
In writing this book Charlotte Fox wished to pay tribute to the work of Edward Bunting. Bunting had attended the Belfast Harp Festival of 1792 and, most importantly, transcribed and saved for posterity the ancient harp music that the few remaining harpers played at the festival. The author had access to Bunting's papers when writing this book.
