Desmond Fennell Desmond Carolan Fennell (born 1929) is an Irish writer, cultural philosopher and linguist, whose most frequent form of writing is the essay. Throughout his career Fennell has repeatedly departed from prevailing norms. In the 1950s and early 1960s, with his extensive foreign travel and reporting and his travel book "Mainly in Wonder", he departed from the norm of Irish Catholic writing at the time. From the late 1960s into the 1970s, in pioneering new approaches to the partition of Ireland and the Irish language revival, he deviated from political and linguistic Irish nationalism, and with the wide philosophical scope of his "Beyond Nationalism: The Struggle against Provinciality in the Modern World", from contemporary Irish culture generally.
