Thit an domhain Gaelach as a chéile le linn saol Aodhagáin Ó Rathaille, agus bhí sé mar ceann de príomh tráchtaire an casadh cinniúnach seo i stair agus litríocht na hÉireann. Rugabh é le linn ré na mbaird scoil agus fuair sé bás i mbochtanas le linn aimsir na péindlithe agus na cúirt filíochta. Is é a ghin an Aisling polaitiúla; ceol an dóchas le linn chéad gan dóchas.

Rachaimid ar aistir trí filíocht an Rathailleach. Filíocht a bhí mar finné ar an 18ú Chéad is Éirinn. Filíocht ceolmhar, liriciúile, a thug dearcadh an file ar saol a bhí ag athrú go tubaisteach.

The Gaelic world fell apart during the life of Aodhagáin Ó Rathaille, and he was one of the leading chroniclers of this traumatic turn in Irish history and literature. He was born during the era of the Bardic School but died in poverty during penal times and the times of the subverted Bardic Court. He was one of the chief generators of the new movement in literature which produced the Aisling; the music of hope during a hopeless first.

We will travel with O Rathaille through his poetry. Poetry that stands as one of the clearest witnesses of the 18th Century in Ireland. Musical, lyrical poetry, which gave the poet’s perspective on a world that was changing traumatically.
