Charles O'Conor of Ballinagare - Essays on His Life and Works (Hardcover, New)

"Charles OConor of Ballinagare (171091) was one of 18th-century Irelands greatest scholars, who wrote in both Irish and English. His work was clearly influenced by the Enlightenment and he regularly corresponded with the important intellectual and cultural figures of his day. OConor is regarded as having played a key role in founding the modern study of Irelands language, culture and history. He was author of the highly influential Dissertations on the ancient history of Ireland, along with many other works. OConor tried to advance the civil rights of Roman Catholics, then marginalized by the Penal Laws, and in 1756 he was one of the founder members of the Catholic Association. This volume consists of a series of essays on the life and work of this great Irishman. Contributors include Hilary Larkin, Joep Leersen, Mchel Mac Craith, Lesa N Mhungaile, Diarmaid Cathin, Maura OGara-ORiordan, Clare OHalloran, Nollaig Murale, Olga Tsapina, Jeremy Williams, Fr John Wrynn, wit
