1798: Writings, Reflections, Images, Impressions
Professor David Dickson e-mail
Dr Sylvie Kleinman e-mail
The principal activity currently being undertaken is the project by Government
of Ireland Fellow Dr Sylvie Kleinman on ‘Theobald Wolfe Tone in France and
French-Occupied Europe, 1796-1798: A Cultural
Perspective’. This
book-length project will fill a gap in scholarship on Tone by examining the
cultural dimension of his life and travels during the last three years of his
life, cross-referencing his own writings with contemporary sources.
The '1798 Project' hosted a one-day seminar on Tone in the Royal Irish Academy
in April 2008 to mark the publication by Oxford University press of the final
volume of the Works of Theobald Wolfe Tone, edited by T.W.Moody, R.B.McDowell &
C.J.Woods.
