| Résumé : | This article investigates the antiquarian response to the opportunity for Irish Catholic relief during the Anglo-American crisis and views Sylvester O'Halloran's General history as an innovative attempt to initiate Irish Catholic participation in the British empire predicated on a historic and current fittingness. The London publication of the General History indicated that this work was directed at an audience outside of, as well as within, Ireland. The narrative analysis, when compared with its principal sources, Keating's seventeenth-century Foras feasa ar Eirinn and the twelfth-century Lebor gabala Erenn, shows that O'Halloran altered his source materials to construct an historical picture of a Milesian maritime empire |
