Introductory note

This collection of papers of Thomas Fitzpatrick, novelist, historian and school teacher, is overwhelmingly concerned with Fitzpatrick’s preoccupation with seventeenth century Ireland, and in particular with the rebellion of 1641.

It consists mainly of substantial unpublished work on Henry Jones, Sir Phelim O’Neill, and Island Magee; unpublished articles on a slightly wider variety of subjects; much transcript material mainly derived from seventeenth century sources; and a few copies of published articles. With the exception of some material in the lengthy series of notebooks [LA12/40–74], there is nothing derived from Fitzpatrick’s fiction. The collection contains no personal material or correspondence.

The provenance of the material is somewhat uncertain but it appears that the papers were given to Robert Dudley Edwards, Professor of Modern Irish History in University College Dublin, by a niece or nephew of Fitzpatrick’s in 1953.

The papers were placed initially in the university library. After the establishment of UCD Archives, of which Professor Edwards was first director, the collection was transferred there. This transfer was completed by 1976.

B. Notebooks

Series of 35 notebooks consisting mainly of transcript material, with analysis and commentary by Fitzpatrick, overwhelmingly concerning the 1641 Rebellion. Sources include T.C.D. depositions and other manuscripts; State Papers Ireland, and published work. The first 34 notebooks have been maintained in a pre-existing series. The final notebook is not part of that series but is, on the basis of its content, entirely consistent with the other notebooks. One sequence, LA12/51-60, is largely taken up with transcripts from T.C.D. Depositions. Another, LA12/61-67, consists almost entirely of extracts from historical and legal texts. The description of each notebook should not be taken as in any way a comprehensive indication of its contents. It is intended to be no more than a general guide. Almost all notebooks contain extensive and relatively disjointed notes on a variety of subjects from a multiplicity of published and archival sources and these are not indicated in the description.
