| Collection | The Papers of Daniel Corkery |
| Collection Description | Daniel Corkery (Ó Corcora, Domhnall) (1878–1964) was a writer, cultural philosopher, and literary critic, was born 14 February 1878 at Gardiner's Hill, Cork city, one of five children of William Corkery and Mary Corkery (née Barron). He was largely self-taught. He never married and spent his whole life in the Cork area. The collection spans those years of Corkery's life devoted to the Arts and Literature. Nothing remains from his childhood or the era pre 1900, and very little of the material reflects his career as a teacher and an educationalist. The bulk of the collection is formed by various drafts of his books, short stories, essays, lectures and notes from his voracious reading. These notes were often jotted in a haphazard manner on anything convenient, notebooks, envelopes, letters, were all utilized. [UCC Special Collections and Archives] |
