Author Information

Mark Standish James O'Grady was an Irish author, reporter, and scholar who lived from September 18, 1846, to May 18, 1928. Inspired by Sylvester O'Halloran, O'Grady was a key figure in the Celtic Revival. He published the stories of Irish mythology as the History of Ireland: Heroic Period (1878), claiming that the only stories that came close to the Gaelic tradition were those from Homeric Greece. In his time, O'Grady was a contradiction. He was proud of his Gaelic heritage, but he was also a member of the Church of Ireland and a supporter of aristocratic virtues, especially criticizing bourgeois values and the uprooting cosmopolitanism of modernity. At one point, he wanted the Irish people to take over the British Empire and rename it the Anglo-Irish Empire. Through his writing, O'Grady had an impact on both the Anglo-Irish and Irish-Ireland cultures. The Abbey Theatre set made it clear that he had an impact on people, with Lady Gregory, W. B. Yeats, and George William Russell all saying that he helped them become interested in the Fenian Cycle of Gaelic culture. Some people in the political party Sinn Féin, like Arthur Griffith, who started the party, had good things to say about his work to bring back the Gaelic sense of heroism from the past.
