Robert Dunlop (1861-1930) was a distinguished authority on Irish History, though he was born in Scotland and for ten years prior to the Great War was a special lecturer in Irish history at the University of Manchester. His deep knowledge of Ireland’s public records and his scrupulous research methods meant that he was commissioned to write many entries on Irish subjects for the Dictionary of National Biography and the Cambridge Modern History. He published Lives of the Irish statesmen Henry Grattan and Daniel O’Connell, and he left behind an unfinished History of Ireland.
