Scope & Content: Seaghan Mac Énrí ↴
The material in this collection relates almost exclusively to Seaghan Mac Énrí’s work on A Handbook of Modern Irish and other work. The collection is divided between correspondence and drafts of his literary work. The correspondence with Peadar Ua Laoghaire covers points of grammar in Irish, and he seems to have played a role as proof reader for the Handbook of Modern Irish. Micheál Breathnach also helped in relation to Irish phraseology for the book, and was a friend of Dr. Mac Énrí from the time that they met in London.The second part of the collection deals primarily with the literary efforts of Seaghan Mac Enri. Many of the pieces that appear as drafts and copies in this part of the collection, can be found as articles and pamphlets in Irish language newspapers such as “An Claidheamh Soluis”, “Fainne an Lae”, “An Caernóg” and “An Stoc”. There is also a file of notes and correspondence relating to the Handbook, as well as a hand-written draft with amendments of the Handbook itself.
