Thomas Moore’S Image Of Ireland: Real Or Commercialized, John B. Roney
Thomas Moore’S Image Of Ireland: Real Or Commercialized, John B. Roney
History Faculty Publications
Thomas Moore was Irish, with his father’s pedigree from the Kerry Gaeltacht, and since it mattered a great deal to most Irish of the time, he was Catholic. However, after his studies at Trinity College, he sought a life in England, married a Protestant woman and had his children baptized and raised Protestant.
