As a literary figure he ranks among the giants of 19th century Ireland not alone for his huge literary output but also because of its depth and its range. A noted hagiographer, his 'Lives of the Irish Saints' remains, although incomplete, his most noted work. Other major works included his 'Irish American History of the United States' and his 'History of Queen's County', published after his death. He also won acclaim as a poet and folklorist. His political icon was Daniel O'Connell and he held firm throughout his life to the ideal of a better Ireland through peaceful means. He moved with ease in Dublin academic circles and yet, as a beloved pastor, he remained champion of the poor. A man of great compassion and deep conviction, he was a shining light in the Irish literary and cultural revival. -- Contents: 1. The Early Influences on O'Hanlon; 2.
