Abstract
Early modern Ireland is one of the most dynamic literary and
political spaces in Renaissance Europe. It is the site of
vibrant writing in English, Irish, and Latin and of translation
from Latin, Spanish, and Italian into English and Irish. While
it has received extensive critical attention from historicists,
cultural materialists, feminists, and new‐British historians
over the past three decades, their focus has been the colonial context of the English Renaissance (and writers like
Edmund Spenser) rather than the Gaelic and Old English
cultures and communities thrown into crisis by the Tudor
conquest (ignoring, thereby, writers like, say, Eochaidh Ó
hEoghusa or Richard Stanihurst). MACMORRIS is a digital‐
humanities project designed to correct that lopsided focus
by mapping cultural activity across the island in all
languages. Working in an interdisciplinary and comparative
framework, it will identify every significant cultural figure
working in Ireland between, roughly, 1569 and 1641 and
trace their nodal points and networks.
