Early Modern Irish language and literature, especially syllabic poetry and the Irish grammatical and syntactical tracts.
Biographical Sketch
Mícheál Hoyne graduated from Trinity College, Dublin in 2010, having studied History and Modern Irish. He remained in Trinity to write his PhD under the supervision of Professor Damian McManus and submitted his thesis in 2013. He spent the academic year 2013/14 teaching and researching in the Philipps-Universität in Marburg, Germany, before returning to Dublin to join the School of Celtic Studies in August 2014 as an O’Donovan Scholar. In 2017, he was appointed a Bergin Fellow.
He is currently completing an edition of the poems of the fifteenth-century poet Seifín Mór and a full treatment of the form of verse he composed (brúilingeacht). He is also responsible for updating and expanding Katharine Simms’ online catalogue of Irish Bardic Poetry and has been assisting Richard Sharpe in the preparation of Clóliosta: printing in the Irish language, 1571–1871 – an attempt at narrative bibliography (to appear in 2020). He conducts a weekly seminar on Irish Grammatical Tracts III–IV (IGT III–IV), of which he is preparing a new edition, and teaches several courses in the Irish Department, TCD.
