About the Book

Published in collaboration with the Royal Irish Academy, the Dictionary of Irish Biography is a comprehensive and authoritative biographical reference work available both in print and online for Ireland. From James Ussher to James Joyce, St Patrick to Patrick Pearse, St Brigit to Maud Gonne MacBride, Maria Edgeworth to Elizabeth Bowen, Edward Carson to Bobby Sands, Éamon de Valera to Charles J. Haughey, and David Ervine to George Best, this indispensable resource outlines the careers at home and overseas of prominent men and women born in Ireland, north and south, and the noteworthy Irish careers of those born outside Ireland. Distinctive features include the particular attention paid to outstanding women who have previously been overlooked and its broad coverage of the modern period. These 11 volumes contain fascinating short summaries and detailed assessments that document over 10,000 lives, ranging from the earliest times to 2010. Biographical subjects include: artists, scientists, lawyers, actors, musicians, writers, politicians, criminals, and saints.

About the Author :
James McGuire is an early modern historian, who taught Irish history at University College Cork and afterwards at University College Dublin. Joint editor of Irish Historical Studies (1987–92), he was appointed Chairman of the Irish Manuscripts Commission in 2003, and in 2007 he was elected a member of the Royal Irish Academy. James Quinn has worked as an editor and contributor with the Royal Irish Academy's Dictionary of Irish Biography project since 1995. He has written widely on various aspects of Irish nationalism, biography and historiography. His publications include Soul on Fire: A Life of Thomas Russell (2001), John Mitchel (2008) and Young Ireland and the writing of Irish history (2015).

Review :
'… the range, meticulous scholarship and accomplished style of the entries transformed Irish biographical research. The latest supplementary volumes, again heroically edited by James Quinn and James McGuire, are well up to these stringent standards.' The Times Literary Supplement
