Gerald Dawe Papers MS.2000.016 - Page 4 - Biographical note Gerald Dawe was born on April 22, 1952 in Belfast, Northern Ireland to Norma Fitzgerald Bradshaw and Gordon Dawe. He attended Orangefield High School and lived in London prior to earning a B.A. from the New University of Ulster in 1974. For a short time, Dawe worked at Belfast Central Library. He was awarded a Major State Award for Postgraduate Research. He earned his M.A. in English at the University of Galway between 1974 and 1978. Dawe married Dorothea Melvin in 1979, and they had two children, Iarla and Olwen. Throughout the 1970s and 1980s Dawe contributed reviews and essays on contemporary literature to Threshold, Fortnight, and Linen Hall Review. In 1978 Dawe published his first poetry collection, Sheltering Places, followed by The Lundys Letter (1985). He edited the critical collections The Younger Irish Poets (1982) and The Poet's Place: Essays on Ulster Literature and Society with John Wilson Foster (1985). In 1986 he founded and served as editor of the literary and cultural journal Krino with Aodan Mac Poilin. During the following decades Dawe deepened his poetry production and broadened the scope of his publications on Irish literature, culture and history. His extensive output of poetry collections included Sunday School (1991), Heart of Hearts (1995), Lake Geneva (2003), Points West (2008), Selected Poems (2012), Mickey Finn's Air (2014), Early Poems (2015), and The Last Peacock (2019). His criticism comprised: How's the Poetry Going? Literary Politics and Ireland Today (1991), The Rest is History (1998), Stray Dogs and Dark Horses: Selected Essays on Irish Writing an Criticism (2000), The Proper Word: Ireland, Poetry, and Politics (2007), The World as Province: Selected Prose, 1980-2008 (2009), Of War and Alarms: Reflections on Modern Irish Writing (2015), and The Wrong Country: Essays on Modern Irish Writing (2018). Additionally he wrote books reviews published in both literary journals and Irish newspapers and edited poetry editions of Charles Donnelly, Ethna McCarthy, and Padriacc Fiacc. Dawe's later-career writings merged criticism with reflection, as in My Mother City (2007) Conversations: Poets and Poetry (2011), The Stoic Man (2015), In Another World: Van Morrison and Belfast (2017), and Looking Through You: Northern Chronicles (2020). Dawe was a teacher as well as a writer and scholar. In 1988 he took a position as lecturer at Trinity College Dublin. In 1996 he created the MPhil in Creative Writing at Trinity with fellow poet Brendan Kennelly, the first such program in Ireland. He became the director of the Oscar Wilde Centre for Irish Writing in 1999 and was elected a Trinity Fellow in 2004. Dawe held visiting scholar posts at John J. Burns Library at Boston College (2005), Villanova University, Philadelphia (2009), and Pembroke College, Cambridge University (2016-2017). He retired from teaching in 2017. Among Dawe's awards are the Arts Council of Ireland Bursary for Poetry (1980 and 2005), Macauley Fellowship for Literature (1984), Hawthornden International Writers' Fellowship (1987), and Ledig- Rowohlt International Writers Fellowship (1999).

Frank McGuinness’s The Match Box “Grief softens the mind,” says Shakespeare’s great character Queen Margaret – it makes people “fearful and degenerate”. There’s only one valid response to such feelings, she claims: “Think on revenge and cease to weep.” In making those remarks, Margaret places herself in a long line of heroines whose desire for revenge is both glorious and horrifying. Her precursors are figures like Sophocles’ Electra and Euripides’ Hecuba; her ancestors include Hester Swayne in Marina Carr’s brutal By the Bog of Cats. All of those women choose vengeance over grief - and in doing so they go beyond good and evil, committing terrible acts that we can nevertheless understand and perhaps even admire. The plays that dramatize their stories are thus both mythic and intimate: they reveal aspects of the human condition that we all recognize (much as we might prefer not to), and they show how one person’s decisions can unravel a family, a society, or an entire world.

  • Belfast Group Poetry|Networks : Essays
    Croxall and Koeser • 2015 Belfast Group Poetry|Networks What Do We Mean When We Say “Belfast Group”? Brian Croxall [email protected] http://orcid.org/0000-0001-5602-6830 Rebecca Sutton Koeser [email protected] https://orcid.org/0000-0002-8762-8057 June 2015 https://belfastgroup.ecds.emory.edu/essays/#what This essay was peer reviewed by Geraldine Higgins and Nathan Suhr-Sytsma . In creating a project to investigate the relationships among members of the Belfast Group, it is important to know exactly what that Group is. Being specific about this when creating our data was critical so we could accurately measure who was connected to this thing we call “the Belfast Group.” But, as often happens with humanities data, it turns out that things are a little messy. In this case, while the term originally refers to the writing workshop begun by Philip Hobsbaum, many critics and commentators have also used it to refer to the idea of a Belfast “school” of poets (see Clark 1, 6). Many members of this supposed school—Seamus Heaney and Michael Longley, among others—were, of course, participants in the writing workshop, which adds to the slippage between the two uses. But while it is demonstrably true that a writing workshop existed, it is less clear whether there was any unified purpose that might constitute a school; as Norman Dugdale put it, the “The Group had no manifesto, no corporate identity, no programme beyond providing a forum in which writers […] could produce their wares and have them discussed” (Dugdale et al.

COMPTES RENDUS BOOK REVIEWS Gerald Dawe, The Wrong Country: Essays on Modern Irish Writing, Newbridge, Irish Academic Press, 2018, 294 p. The title of Gerald Dawe’s new collection of essays on modern Irish writing is taken from Hugo Hamilton’s famous novel, The Speckled People. Dawe opens his book by quoting “You can’t be afraid of saying the opposite, even if you look like a fool and everybody thinks you’re in the wrong country, speaking the wrong language” (p. vi). This opening sentence is a relevant guide to Dawe’s essays, in which the TCD professor Emeritus tries to lead a quiet combat to conjure up forgotten authors (such as Joseph Campbell, George Reavey, or Ethna Carbery) and bring a diversity of perspectives on more renowned Irish writers of the last two centuries.

  • Women Writers of the Troubles
    Women Writers of The Troubles Britta Olinder, University of Gothenburg Abstract During the thirty years of the Troubles in Northern Ireland, writing by women was difficult to find, especially concerning the conflict and its violence. The publication of the first three heavy volumes of The Field Day Anthology of Irish Writing towards the end of that period demonstrated the blindness of its male editors to female writing, leading to another two volumes focusing on women and also presenting more than expected on the conflict itself. Through looking at a selection of prose, poretry and drama written by women, this article wishes to illuminate a number of relevant issues such as: How have female writers reacted to the hate and violence, the social and political insecurity in their writing of poetry, plays and fiction? Is Robert Graecen’s question ‘Does violence stimulate creativity?’—in a letter to the Irish Times (18 Jun. 1974)—relevant also for women? In this very partial exploration, I have chosen to discuss a novel by Jennifer Johnston (Shadows on Our Skin, 1977) and one by Deirdre Madden (One by One in the Darkness, 1996), a well-known short story by Mary Beckett (‘A Belfast Woman,’ 1980), together with plays by Anne Devlin (Ourselves Alone, 1986) and Christina Reid (Tea in a China Cup, 1987), as well as poetry, by, among others, Meta Mayne Reid, Eleanor Murray, Fleur Adcock and Sinéad Morrissey. Keywords: women writers; violence; conflict; The Troubles; Jennifer Johnston; Deirdre Madden; Mary Beckett; Anne Devlin; Christina Reid; Meta Mayne Reid; Eleanor Murray; Fleur Adcock; Sinéad Morrissey The blood-dimmed tide is loosed, and everywhere The ceremony of innocence is drowned; The best lack all conviction, while the worst Are full of passionate intensity.

  • “Am I Not of Those Who Reared / the Banner of Old Ireland High?” Triumphalism, Nationalism and Conflicted Identities in Francis Ledwidge’S War Poetry
    Romp /1 “Am I not of those who reared / The banner of old Ireland high?” Triumphalism, nationalism and conflicted identities in Francis Ledwidge’s war poetry. Bachelor Thesis Charlotte Romp Supervisor: dr. R. H. van den Beuken 15 June 2017 Engelse Taal en Cultuur Radboud University Nijmegen Romp /2 Abstract This research will answer the question: in what ways does the poetry written by Francis Ledwidge in the wake of the Easter Rising reflect a changing stance on his role as an Irish soldier in the First World War? Guy Beiner’s notion of triumphalist memory of trauma will be employed in order to analyse this. Ledwidge’s status as a war poet will also be examined by applying Terry Phillips’ definition of war poetry. By remembering the Irish soldiers who decided to fight in the First World War, new light will be shed on a period in Irish history that has hitherto been subjected to national amnesia. This will lead to more complete and inclusive Irish identities. This thesis will argue that Ledwidge’s sentiments with regards to the war changed multiple times during the last year of his life. He is, arguably, an embodiment of the conflicting loyalties and tensions in Ireland at the time of the Easter Rising. Key words: Francis Ledwidge, Easter Rising, First World War, Ireland, Triumphalism, war poetry, loss, homesickness Romp /3 Table of contents Introduction ................................................................................................................................ 4 Chapter 1 History and Theory ...................................................................................................

  • Transnational Ireland on Stage: America to Middle East in Three Texts
    Transnational Ireland on Stage: America to Middle East in Three Texts Wei H. Kao Introduction: Between the Local and the Global on the Irish Stage Historically, the comprehensive Anglicisation of Ireland from the early nineteenth century, and the geopolitical location of Ireland in Europe, have laid the foundations for more Irish participation on the world stage. The rapid globalisation process, however, has not fully removed the frustration buried deep in the Irish psyche about the country still being in partition, but it has encouraged many contemporary playwrights to express concerns regarding other areas that are just as troubled as the state of their country, despite the fact that the Northern Ireland issue is not yet fully resolved. It is noteworthy that globalisation, as the continuation of nineteenth- and twentieth-century imperialism in a new form, not only carries forward the exercise of colonial incursion but facilitates the oppressively homogenising effects on the less advantaged Other. This is partly due to the rise of critical theory to ‘productively complicate the nationalist paradigm’ by embarking on transnationalism since the 1970s.1 One consequence of this was to prompt reevaluations of existing cultural productions, thus initiating cross-cultural and interethnic dialogues that had usually been absent in colonial and Eurocentric establishments, and prompting the public to envisage the Other across both real and imagined borders. Even more significantly, the meaning of a text starts to shift if it is studied in an international context, and this applies particularly to a text in which the characters venture into unexplored territories and impel ‘meaning [to] transform as it travels’.2 The transformation of meanings is further accelerated by intercultural encounters that are motivated by globalisation that interconnects individuals and societies around the world.

IRISH IDENTITY IN SEAMUS DEANE'S READING IN THE DARK Peter Jasinski n Seamus Deane's Reading in the Dark, Deane presents us with the Ichildhood of an unnamed narrator who tells the story of his troubled family in postwar Northern Ireland. As the boy stumbles through the complexities and ironies of the adult world, he slowly increases in social and political awareness. The novel takes its title from a scene in which the boy, after the lights are turned off, tries to imagine the story he had been reading. The image of reading in the dark expresses the difficulty of reconstructing the past from fragmen­ tary accounts available in the present: the narrator's family history "came to [him] in bits, from people who rarely recognized all they had told" (236). He uncovers only a partial picture of the truth as he tries to put together the tragic, mysterious past of his family.
