More about the book
The life of Thomas Parnell, an Irish poet born in 1679, is marked by early academic brilliance and a significant clerical career, culminating in his role as Archdeacon of Clogher. His literary connections included notable figures like Pope and Swift, with whom he collaborated in the Scriblerus Club. Despite his success, personal tragedies, including the loss of his wife and struggles with alcoholism, plagued him. Parnell's promising career was cut short when he died in 1718, shortly before returning to Ireland.
