Morgan Kavanagh
Morgan Kavanagh (c. 1799〔Kavanagh, Morgan. "Application to The Literary Fund", November 4, 1844, Royal Literary Fund (RLF) file no. 548, item 15, British Library. Kavanagh says "I know neither my age nor where I was born; but believe it was in Dublin about the year 1799."〕 – 1874) was an Irish poet, novelist, and author of works on philology. After leaving Ireland at the age of about 25 he lived in both London and Paris and never returned to Ireland. He was the father of the writer Julia Kavanagh. His life was devoted to language, both through his writings and his teaching. His theories concerning the origin of language were often controversial. Kavanagh died in London in 1874.
==Early life==
Morgan Kavanagh was born in Dublin, Ireland.〔 He initially used the middle name Peter but later dropped it, saying "I have dropped the name of Peter on learning that it was not strictly legal, it being only a name which I adopted when confirmed." 〔Kavanagh, Morgan. "Application to The Literary Fund", November 4, 1844, Royal Literary Fund (RLF) file no. 548, item 15, British Library.〕
Morgan left Ireland for London in 1824, accompanied by his wife, Bridget, and his infant daughter, Julia. His motive for this move was to seek a publisher for a poetical work entitled ''The Wanderings of Lucan and Dinah''. This work, his first, was published in London through the generosity of an anonymous benefactor.〔Martin McDermot, Prefatory View of the Poem in: M. P. Kavanagh, ''The Wanderings of Lucan and Dinah'', Sherwood and Co., London, 1824.〕 For most of the following 20 years Morgan and his family lived in Paris where he taught English language and literature. During this period he was awarded several grants by the Royal Literary Fund. Kavanagh published a second poetical work, ''The Reign of Lockrin'', in 1839.
