    In the nineteenth century, myth was no longer discarded as mere fable, nor was it interpreted as history in a supernatural disguise. The comparative method helped to illuminate the similarities between beliefs of disparate cultures, and established the study of mythology as a respected field of scholarly research, in that myths were no longer treated as corruptions of the sacred revelation embodied in the Bible. The emerging discipline, anthropology, allowed greater insight into the mythopoeic mind, which the Romantic poets had discovered and celebrated among the country folk. Thus, the above-mentioned theories should not be viewed separately from literary studies. While classicists and philologists attempted to arrive at theories explaining the original significance of the major figures in world mythologies, the Victorian poets found in them new sources of inspiration for their dramatic personas. Moreover, this renewed interest in ancient mythologies also helped to awaken the public’s interest in the mythologies and folklore native to the British Isles, embracing both the Celtic and Norse connections, which also provided sources for new directions in literature.

    In Celtic legends, the Irish monk Saint Brendan of Clonfert, and the Irish heroes Oisín, Bran and Mael Duin all travel to the Irish Fortunate Islands, which appear under various names, such as Tír na mBan (the Land of Women),Tír na nÓg (the Land of Youth),Tír na mBeo (the Land of the Living) and Tír Tairngire (the Land of Promise). These Celtic Islands of the Blessed were believed to be “settled by the semi-divine Tuatha Dé Danann, after their defeat by the mortal Milesians” and, like their Greek counterparts, were situated in the western ocean. This was also the traditional location of the Celtic Elysium, Avalon, the Island of Apples, where both the wounded King Arthur and Ogier the Dane were carried by Morgan le Fay after their final battles. However, according to another popular belief, Avalon was identified with Glastonbury. This concept of the Otherworld as situated in a different dimension yet sharing the same geographical location with a place in the world of mortals has been common in Irish folklore, where the Fairyland can be found under the fairy mounds (sídhe),in caves, ruined castles, raths or at the bottom of the lakes.
