Autorenporträt
Thomas William Rolleston (1857-1920), known as T. W. Rolleston, was an Irish writer, poet, and mythologist noted for his works that illuminated the literary landscape with the mystique of Celtic heritage and mythology. A seminal figure in the Celtic Revival movement, Rolleston was passionately involved in the revival of interest in Irish literature and culture during the late 19th and early 20th centuries. His scholarship and literary output were instrumental in popularizing the rich tapestry of ancient Irish traditions and folklore to a wider audience. Born in County Offaly, Ireland, Rolleston was educated at Trinity College, Dublin, where he became acquainted with leaders of the Irish literary renaissance. His noteworthy contribution to Celtic literature includes 'Celtic Mythology' (1911), an accessible yet scholarly resource that dives deep into the myriad myths of the Celtic people, providing insights into their gods, heroes, and epic tales. Rolleston's literary style often reflected his educational approach, combining an accessible narrative style with meticulous research, aimed at both the casual reader and the serious student of mythology. By incorporating a scholarly framework into his writings on Celtic myths and legends, he paved the way for further academic exploration into the cultural heritage of Ireland and other Celtic nations.
