The World鈥檚 First Professor of Celtic? Owen Connellan and Cork

One of the pioneering initiatives of the new Queen鈥檚 Colleges was the establishment of the world鈥檚 first professorships of the Celtic languages. This talk will look at QCC鈥檚 professor of Celtic, Owen Connellan (1797-1871), considering both his sometimes stormy relationship with the college administration, and his place in early Irish scholarship. The account of his life and career will be illustrated with passages from his published and unpublished writings.
