Pamela Marshall+FollowMeet Leitrim’s Rebel Priest-AuthorDid you know Leitrim had its own literary legend? Rev. Canon Joseph Guinan wasn’t just a priest—he was a firebrand author who called out injustice, championed Irish pride, and wrote novels packed with drama, rebellion, and real-life grit. His stories, like “The Soggarth Aroon,” didn’t just entertain—they captured the soul of rural Ireland and weren’t shy about throwing shade at the landlords and British rule. No wonder the locals still remember him as their beloved Soggarth Aroon! #IrishHistory #Leitrim #BookTok #HiddenGems #IrishAuthors #Culture00Share
