The Reliques of Father Prout (1836) by Francis Sylvester Mahony is a key text in the early genealogy of the Anglo-Irish literary tradition. Initially published under the pseudonym of "Father Prout" in the London periodical, Fraser's Magazine, Mahony's eccentric essay collection garnered immediate acclaim for its caustic wit, comic invention, and ironic literary forgeries. Its idiosyncratic blend of parodic translation, trenchant polemic, and mock-scholarly learning presents a distinctively Irish Catholic take on Menippean satire. This new edition, prefaced by a critical introduction and including comprehensive explanatory footnotes and translations, makes available once more the multilingual writings of a master satirist.
