Edward A Hagan Author

W. R. MacDermott, the Dublin-born son of a Co. Monaghan doctor, worked as a highly conscientious dispensary doctor for 50 years at Poyntzpass, Co. Armagh. He contributed articles to The New Ireland Review and the All Ireland Review and published a novel Foughilotra in 1904, a complex study of the sociology of kinship in a rural Ulster family, written in Ulster Scots dialect. Edward A. Hagan is Professor of English at Western Connecticut State University. He is the author of High Nonsensical Words (Whitston, 1986), a study of Standish James O'Grady, and edited O'Grady's important but little known late works, To the Leaders of Our Working People (2002) and Sun and Wind (2004), for the Classics of Irish History series.
