Description:Robert Lloyd Praeger's achievement as a naturalist is examined in its cultural, social and scientific context. Praeger grew up in a Dissenter community in Belfast where natural history and antiquarianism were prominent cultural practices. Following his move to Dublin in 1893, he had a new social setting for his interests. Within the context of the Irish cultural revival, Praeger aimed to establish an independent status for Irish natural history, and thus free it from its inherited dependence on British writings.
