It opens a window on a world on the cusp of drastic change but where, for the moment, everything is still in play.
Gaelic culture is vibrant; the English vernacular of the Pale is lively and colourful; agents of the Tudor conquest like Edmund Spenser bring the energies – often dark energies – of the English Renaissance to Ireland; and contact with mainland Europe is routine.
MACMORRIS allows us to tap into a diverse, multilingual world that reminds us just how rich and complex the wellsprings of Irish culture are. Our project runs from 2019 -2023.
MACMORRIS is funded by the Irish Research Council, through IRCLA/2019/116.
