SEAN MOORE, ASSISTANT PROFESSOR OF ENGLISH
Professor Sean Moore reconnected this summer with colleagues from around the world in ongoing
scholarly working groups and conferences.
 
I first flew to Düsseldorf via Dublin for the "Fifth
Münster Symposium on Jonathan Swift," a seminar held
every five years at the Ehrenpreis Centre for Swift
Studies at the Westfälisce Wilhelms-Universität Münster,
Germany. Despite distraction by World Cup of Soccer fans in the country for that
event, I heard the lectures of Swift experts from as far away as Russia and Australia
and was able to get feedback on my own presentation, "Swift and Ireland's Revenue."
The highlight of the week was dinner at Nordkirchen Palace, an aristocratic estate
built in the medieval period, renovated in Enlightenment style in the eighteenth
century, and now used by the government as a college for tax officials. Given that U.
Münster has gathered the largest collection of primary and secondary sources on
Swift in the world, a few participants stayed on after the seminar to perform research.
Next, I attended the second meeting of "Money, Power, and Prose," a colloquium discussing eighteenth-century public finance
reconvened at the Armagh Public (Robinson) and Cardinal O'Fíaích libraries and partly sponsored by the Primates of Ireland's
Roman Catholic Church and the Anglican Church of Ireland. This meeting featured historians, economists, and literary critics
exploring the relationship between national debts, war, and propaganda in the period. My paper, "Edmund Burke's Financial
Publicity," investigated how an Anglo-Irish intellectual whose first work was on aesthetics could become a Member of Parliament
and a publicist encouraging investment in British war bonds. The libraries themselves featured a number of rare books, including
an early edition of Jonathan Swift's Gulliver's Travels with marginal notations in the author's own hand. Also, the Dean of St.
Patrick's Anglican Cathedral organized a rare treat: the performance of an evensong religious ceremony as it was held in the
eighteenth century. For the full report, visit http://www.unh.edu/cie/faculty/faculty_travelrpts_index.html.
