Books By Seán Mac Giollarnáth - Author
Seán Mac Giollarnáth (1880-1970) was a writer, judge, and folklore collector in his native County Galway. A key figure in the Irish cultural revival, he combined a long career as a district justice with the compilation of folktales and traditional lore from collaborators in Conamara and beyond. Liam Mac Con Iomaire (1937-2019) was a teacher, journalist, and writer from Casla, County Galway. Major publications include biographies of Breandán Ó hEithir, Seosamh Ó hÉanaì, and, in collaboration with Tim Robinson, Graveyard Clay, the translation of Máirtìn Ó Cadhain's 1949 novel Cré na Cille. He was an acknowledged authority on Irish language usage and traditional singing in Irish. Tim Robinson (1935-2020) was born in Yorkshire, studied mathematics at Cambridge, and worked as a visual artist in Istanbul, Vienna, and London. He moved to the Aran Islands in 1972 and commenced a multidecade project of mapping and writing about Aran, the Burren, and Connemara.
