William Stockley
William Frederick Paul Stockley (29 June 1859 – 22 July 1943) was an Irish academic, Sinn Féin politician and Teachta Dála (TD).
W. F. P. Stockley was born in Templeogue, County Dublin, and was educated at Rathmines School. He was the son of John Surtees Stockley (1816–1863), who had been a British Army veterinary surgeon with the Royal Artillery during the Crimean War (and for which he was awarded the Légion d'Honneur by the French government), and Alicia Diana Catherine Gabbett of High Park, Caherconlish, County Limerick.
W. F. P. Stockley's grandfather, William Stockley (1776–1860), a veterinary surgeon in the Royal Horse Artillery from 1805 to 1858 and President of the Royal College of Veterinary Surgeons, lived in Corkagh, Clondalkin, County Dublin, until 1837, after which he served in Canada and later lived out his life in London. The Stockleys were a Protestant family and W. F. P. Stockley had been raised in that faith before converting to Roman Catholicism in 1894.
Stockley took a senior moderatorship in modern literature at Trinity College Dublin, where his classmates included Douglas Hyde, and graduated in 1883 with a BA in English and French.
From 1896 to 1903 he was professor at the University of Ottawa and at the University of New Brunswick. In 1905, he was appointed professor of English at University College, Cork. He occupied the chair until his retirement in 1931.
He was president of the Cork Literary and Scientific Society from 1913 to 1915 and President of the Cork Library Committee from 1913 to 1930.
He was author of several books including English Visitors to Ireland from Raleigh to Newman, Newman, Education, and Ireland, Studies in Irish Biography and Introduction to the Dream of Gerontius.
Stockley was a member of Sinn Féin. He was an alderman of the Cork Corporation from 1920 to 1925. In 1920, an attempt was made on his life by police agents. At the 1921 Irish elections, he was elected unopposed as a Sinn Féin member to the 2nd Dáil for the National University constituency. He voted against the Anglo-Irish Treaty of 1921 and refused to accept the legitimacy of the Irish Free State.
