Irish manuscripts of the seventeenth to the nineteenth centuries, the Ossianic lays, the Finn Cycle, the dánta grádha
Biographical Sketch
I hold a PhD in Irish from the National University of Ireland, Galway and a BA in Irish and French from University College Cork. I joined the School of Celtic Studies as an O’Donovan post-doctoral scholar in 2013. I am currently working on an edition of Agallamh Oisín agus Phádraig and preparing a number of articles on the dánta grádha.
