Fiona Brennan, doctoral candidate from University College Cork, Ireland, was the inaugural recipient of the Provost’s Grant for Library Research. She was in residence for a week in March to conduct research in the Dolmen Press Archives. She also gave a public lecture on William Fitzmaurice, Abbey Theatre playwright. She contextualized Fitzmaurice’s work in terms of his cultural heritage, the local landscape, and his use of Hiberno-English dialogue. Her talk focused on her PhD research and the importance of archival sources to her studies.
