The Tinkers in Irish Literature May 17, 2009

The IAHC Library will present a lecture, 'The Tinkers in Irish Literature,' presented by Dr. Jose Lanters. A tinker is a member of any of various traditionally itinerant groups of people living especially in Scotland and Ireland, also called travelers. Lanters will lecture and discuss tinker characters in Irish literature, and contrast them with Gypsies in European and British literature in particular.
