  • 10/4 Re-Reading the Revolution Conference

    Please join us October 4-5 for "Re-Reading the Revolution," a conference marking the launch of the website, Léamh: Learn Early Modern Irish, a web-based tutorial and resource for learning how to read and translate Early Modern Irish. The conference will consist of two complementary sections: 

    I. "Research panels": Leading scholars in Celtic languages will speak to recent research on the "revolutionary" years 1630-1660, and the design and development members of the Léamh team will present on their work building the site.

    II. "Re-Reading the Revolution Roundtables": Specialists in the history and literature of Britain and Ireland during the crisis years of 1630-60, and experts in Celtic-language sources of the period, will discuss how widening source bases and strengthening collaborative networks might further our understanding of this revolutionary moment.
