- Summary:
- The Reliques of Father Prout (1836) by Francis Sylvester Mahony is a key text in the early genealogy of the Anglo-Irish literary tradition. Initially published under the pseudonym of “Father Prout” in the London periodical, Fraser’s Magazine , Mahony’s eccentric essay collection garnered immediate acclaim for its caustic wit, comic invention, and ironic literary forgeries. Its idiosyncratic blend of parodic translation, trenchant polemic, and mock-scholarly learning presents a distinctively Irish Catholic take on Menippean satire. This new edition, prefaced by a critical introduction and including comprehensive explanatory footnotes and translations, makes available once more the multilingual writings of a master satirist.
