The Ruin Of Education In Ireland And The Irish Fanar

By Frank Hugh MacDonald O'Connell and Frank Hugh MacDonald O'Donnell

Book Overview

""The Ruin of Education in Ireland and the Irish Fanar"" is a book written by F. Hugh O'Donnell that explores the history of education in Ireland and the impact of the Irish Fanar on it. The book delves into the origins of the Fanar, a group of Irish Catholic priests who were sent to the continent to study in the 17th and 18th centuries, and their subsequent influence on education in Ireland. O'Donnell argues that the Fanar's emphasis on classical education and their exclusion of modern subjects such as science and technology led to a decline in the quality of education in Ireland. The book also covers the political and social factors that contributed to the decline of education in Ireland, including the influence of the British government and the Catholic Church. Overall, ""The Ruin of Education in Ireland and the Irish Fanar"" provides a comprehensive analysis of the history of education in Ireland and the factors that led to its decline.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
