Enlightenment
in Ruins
Transits: Literature, thought & culture 1650 1850
Series Editor
Greg Clingham
Bucknell University
Transits is the next horizon. This series of books, essays and monographs aims to extend recent achievements in eighteenth-century studies, and to publish excellent work on any aspects of the literature, thought and culture of the years 1650-1850. Without ideological or methodological restrictions, Transits seeks to provide transformative readings of the literary, cultural, and historical interconnections between Britain, Europe, the Far East, Oceania, and the Americas in the long eighteenth century, and as they extend down to the present time. In addition to literature and history, such global perspectives might entail considerations of time, space, nature, economics, politics, environment, and material culture, and might necessitate the development of new modes of critical imagination, which we welcome. But the series does not thereby repudiate the local and the national, for original new work on particular writers and readers in particular places in time continues to be the bedrock of the discipline.

Acknowledgments
T he support of the National Endowment for the Humanities and the Keough/Naughton Institute for Irish Studies at the University of Notre Dame, where an enjoyable and stimulating year were spent working on eighteenth-century Irish writing, is greatly appreciated. While there, and since, Seamus Deane and Breandn MacSuibhne read early drafts of this work and improved it. My thanks also to the anonymous reviewers of the manuscript at Bucknell University Press for their helpful comments, and to Greg Clingham and Pamelia Dailey for all of their guidance in the books production. Special thanks also to Michael Gloster for technical support.
An earlier version of a segment of chapter 3 was published in Eighteenth-Century Ireland: Iris an D Chultr ; I am grateful to the editors of that journal for permission to rework some of that material in this book. Equally, a section of chapter 4 was debuted in Edmund Burkes Irish Identities (2007); thanks to Lisa Hyde at Iris Academic Press, and to editor Sen Patrick Donlan for the opportunity to expand on those ideas here.
This book was researched with the kind assistance of several libraries and librarians: in Special Collections at the University of Limerick library Ken Bergin and Jean Turner put up stoically with my repetitive requests for Friedmans Goldsmith as everything was checked. Gearoid OBrien at the Westmeath County Library in Athlone enabled me to enjoy the extraordinary Aidan Heavey collection. A Mayers Research Fellowship at the Huntington Library, San Marino, California, was of tremendous assistance. I am also grateful to Marti Kallal and Steve Sawyer at the Morris Library, Southern Illinois University at Carbondale, and to the staff of the Hesburgh Library, University of Notre Dame. The staff in the Upper Reading Room at the Bodleian Library in Oxford were extremely helpful. The warmth and generosity of the late Vera Ryhajlo is greatly missed by many, not least by Oxfords Irish scholars.
For advice, sense and sociability in and around this research, I owe debts to Ruth Clifford, Keith Duggan, Charles and Fran Fanning, David Fairer, Eoin Flannery, Christopher Fox, Luke and Dolores Gibbons, Maura Kennedy, John Kenny, Enda Leaney, Roger Lonsdale, Tara MacLeod, Brian Conchubhair, Diarmuid Giollin, David OShaughnessy, Patrick OSullivan, Frank Shovlin, John Shovlin, Jim Smyth, and Fiona Stafford. For their collegial indulgence of this research I am grateful to University of Limerick colleagues in English and Irish studies and in the School of Languages, Literature, Culture and Communication, and to fellow members of ULs Ralahine collective and Eighteenth Century Research Group.
There is some speculation in this book about Goldsmiths Catholic ancestry. But then Goldsmiths teacher at the Diocesan School at Elphin was the Reverend Michael Griffin. As my father hails from that region, the issue which thus arises is not whether Goldsmiths family was, at some stage, Catholic, but: was mine Protestant? With this very eighteenth-century-Irish conundrum in mind, I thank my family for their support and encouragement and dedicate this book to Mick Griffin Snr. of the Diocese of Elphin.
