Abstract	Thomas Moore was for a long time considered the national poet of Ireland and remains one of the most popular poets in Irish history. This thesis will examine the politics of his best-known work – the Irish Melodies. It will provide an overview of Moore's career, the development of nationalism in 19th-century Europe, and the role of language in 19th-century Ireland. Drawing on the work of Benedict Anderson, Johann Gottlieb Fichte and Ernest Renan, it will explain how nationalism creates authority through a perception of authenticity and how this finds expression in the Melodies. It will also introduce ideas from translation theory and the work of Walter Benjamin to explain why Moore’s Melodies are translations and compare them to the collections of Charlotte Brooke and James Hardiman. The thesis will examine how Moore employs the harp and the dead in the Melodies in order to create his own version of Ireland. Finally, the thesis contends that the ways in which his audiences understood that version of Ireland illuminate the politics of Moore’s Irish Melodies.
