Thomas William Hazen Rolleston (1857–1920), commonly referred to as T. W. Rolleston, was an eminent Irish scholar, poet, and mythographer, widely recognized for his work in the field of Celtic mythology and literature. Born in County Offaly, Ireland, he became a central figure in the Irish Literary Revival, a movement that sought to promote the cultural identity of Ireland through its literature and language. His substantial contribution to the revival and dissemination of Celtic lore is encapsulated in his seminal work, 'Myths and Legends of the Celtic Race' (1911), often known simply as 'The Celtic Mythology.' This comprehensive volume reinvigorated interest in the rich tapestry of Celtic myths and legends at a time when Ireland was seeking to establish a distinct cultural narrative apart from that of England. Rolleston adeptly combined scholarly insight with a literary flair that made the complex mythological cycles accessible to both academic and lay audiences. He was a contemporary to notable figures such as W. B. Yeats and Lady Gregory and shared their passion for Irish folklore and national identity. Rolleston's influence on the preservation and appreciation of Celtic heritage cannot be overstated, and his work remains a cornerstone for enthusiasts and scholars of Celtic mythology and history.
