Toirdhealbhach Ó Cearbhalláin
Turlough O’Carolan

For Carolan's life and music, the authoritative work is Donal O'Sullivan's book Carolan; the life, times, and music of an Irish harper. Originally published in 2 volumes by Routledge and Paul, London, in 1958, it was reprinted by Celtic Music, Louth, England (1991); A new single-volume edition is available from Ossian, Cork (2001).

Gráinne Yeats's online article The Rediscovery of Carolan is worth reading.
