S regards the words and the music of the Manx Songs, one is constantly startled by their dis parity. Many of the tunes seem fitted, if not intended, to express emotions which find no utterance in the words. And the question occurs—are these the original words P In the case of the best known among the tunes, Mylecharaine, the subject of the song is of a very prosaic kind. A dowry, for the first time, in the Isle of Man, is given to a daughter, and is con demned by the lieges as of evil precedent. But the tune suggests a depth of ineflable melancholy. In Kirree f0 Niaghtey we have a tune, I should imagine, less trimmed to modern associations, a very noble, rugged product of conditions which it is hard to realize, even though we were to admit that a great snow-fall and the rescue of the buried flocks may possibly have occasioned this vehement and irregular outburst. The Love-songs, for the most part, appeal to prudential considerations rather than passionate im pulse. They affeét the dialogue form, as in Mair as I nneen, wheré the mother represents common sense, and the daughter betrays no consciousness of individual passion, but merely the general preference for the married as compared with the single life. In Scotch music we find a similar state of things. No one can for a moment pretend to be satisfied that the words of “Robin Adair" were originally written to that tune, still less to allow the superb madness of“ Roslyn Castle” to be adequately mated with such rubbish as that with which it is fain to put up in books of Scottish Song. We cannot resist the conviction that these great old tunes have lost their partners in life, that both tunes and words were the outcome of a more primitive age. For some reason or other the words were forgotten, and the tunes, in their forlorn widowhood, descended to the X. embrace of churls and varlets, or continued to exist in single blessedness, and became those “ Songs without Words" which serve as the basis of popular dance music. The next thing which strikes us in the survey of our little field is that the songs are so few in number, and, in quality, so trifling, so unromantic, so unpoetical, and so modern. The causes may be conjeétured. In addition to those mentioned in Mr. Moore’s Intro duétion, I venture to suggest the following: 1.—There has never been a Bardic class, nor have there been any royal or feudal traditions which could foster such a class. Hence the total lack of that stimulus which had so much to do with the literature of the Border Ballads. Of anything like the native literary instinc't which has always obtained in Wales it is, in this connec'tion, useless to speak. 2.—The football position of the Island, kicked about from Celt to Norseman, from English to Scot. This must have affected the language as well as the temper and spirit of the people. 3.-—We fell under the dominion of a great English family, the Stanleys ; but we were not thereby admitted even to the doubtful advantages of the Feudal system. We were practically serfs, and this serfdom continued for three hundred years, terminating only in the Atft of Settlement. 4. This was a period of unhappiness, “ benevolent despotism" if you will, but absolute ignorance—tyranny, in fact, with certain compensations. One of them does not appear to have been culture of any kind or sort. The pre-Reformation clergy did nothing; it was their interest to do nothing. 5.-—-Out of this mediaeval darkness we were deliver~ ed by the Reformation. But there is no literary result : “ who will sing us the songs of Zion P " We had none. Ican imagine nothing more crushed and broken than the spirit of the Manx people as they passed under the Ecclesiastical tyranny which, indeed, had never, under any secular régime, ceased, vampire-like, but with the xi. best intentions, to suck the blood of our forefathers. F eudalism was a fruitful source of poetry. But we never had Feudalism. What we had was Serfdom. The American slaves could sing; they are a light mercurial race; and I would not give our poor old “ Kirree" for all their facile gushes of sentimentalism. We were Celts, that never had fair play, we brooded, smouldered, did not come off. Even the dash of Norse blood failed to fire us; and, while the Russian serf has continued to sing or sob, through all the centuries, melodic miseries now available as “pick-me-ups” for Teutonic dilettanti, we have been_silent.

    M Reading Backwards An Advance Retrospective on Russian Literature READING BACKWARDS EDITED BY MUIREANN MAGUIRE AND TIMOTHY LANGEN An Advance Retrospective This book outlines with theoretical and literary historical rigor a highly innovative approach to the writing of Russian literary history and to the reading of canonical Russian texts. on Russian Literature AGUI —William Mills Todd III, Harvard University Russian authors […] were able to draw their ideas from their predecessors, but also from their successors, R testifying to the open-mindedness that characterizes the Slavic soul. This book restores the truth. E AND —Pierre Bayard, University of Paris 8 This edited volume employs the paradoxical notion of ‘anticipatory plagiarism’—developed in the 1960s L by the ‘Oulipo’ group of French writers and thinkers—as a mode for reading Russian literature. Reversing established critical approaches to the canon and literary influence, its contributors ask us to consider how ANGEN reading against linear chronologies can elicit fascinating new patterns and perspectives. Reading Backwards: An Advance Retrospective on Russian Literature re-assesses three major nineteenth- century authors—Gogol, Dostoevsky and Tolstoy—either in terms of previous writers and artists who ( plagiarized them (such as Raphael, Homer, or Hall Caine), or of their own depredations against later writers EDS (from J.M. Coetzee to Liudmila Petrushevskaia). ) R ) Far from suggesting that past authors literally stole from their descendants, these engaging essays, contributed by both early-career and senior scholars of Russian and comparative literature, encourage us to identify the contingent and familiar within classic texts. By moving beyond rigid notions of cultural heritage and literary canons, they demonstrate that inspiration is cyclical, influence can flow in multiple directions, and no idea is ever truly original.

    Fíanaigecht in Manx Tradition FÍANAIGECHT in MANX TRADITION 1

    Fíanaigecht in Manx Tradition FÍANAIGECHT IN MANX TRADITION 1 GEORGE BRODERICK University of Mannheim Introduction: The Finn Cycle In order to set the Manx examples of Fíanaigecht in context I cite here Bernhard Maier's short sketch of the Finn Cycle as it appears in Maier (1998: 118). Finn Cycle or Ossianic Cycle. The prose naratives and ballads centred upon the legendary hero Finn mac Cumaill and his retinue, the Fianna. They are set in the time of the king Cormac mac Airt at the beginning of the 3rdC AD. The heroes, apart from Finn, the leader of the Fianna, are his son Oisín, his grandson Oscar, and the warriors Caílte mac Rónáin, Goll mac Morna and Lugaid Lága. Most of the stories concerning F[inn] are about hunting adventures, love-affairs [...] and military disputes [...]. The most substantial work of this kind, combin- ing various episodes within a narrative framework, is Acallam na Senórach . The ballads concerning F[inn] gained in popularity from the later Middle Ages onwards and were the most important source of James Mac- pherson's "Works of Ossian" (Maier 1998: 118). The individual texts of the poems and ballads concerned with the Finn Cycle seemingly date over a period from the learned scribal tradition of the eleventh 2 to the later popular oral tradition of the early seventeenth century. Sixty-nine poems from this corpus survive in a single manuscript dating from 1626-27 known as Duanaire Finn ('Finn's poem book') (cf. Mac Neill 1908, Murphy 1933, 1953, Carey 2003). According to Ruairí Ó hUiginn (2003: 79), Duanaire Finn forms part of a long manuscript that was compiled in Ostend in 1626-7.

Of Demolition and Reconstruction: a Comparative Reading of Manx Cultural Revivals Breesha Maddrell, Centre for Manx Studies, University of Liverpool Abstract This paper accesses Manx cultural survival by examining the work of one of the most controversial of Manx cultural figures, Mona Douglas, alongside one of the most well loved, T.E. Brown. It uses the literature in the Isle of Man over the period 1880-1980 as a means of identifying attitudes toward two successive waves of cultural survival and revival. Through a reading of Brown's Prologue to the first series of Fo'c's'le Yarns, 'Spes Altera', "another hope", 1896, and Douglas' 'The Tholtan' – which formed part of her last collection of poetry, Island Magic, published in 1956 – the differing nationalist and revivalist roles of the two authors are revealed.

Last weekend, students from different corners of the Island came together at Douglas Youth Arts Centre for the 11th annual Big Bree Workshop Weekend. Under the tuition of Caitlin Bennett, Caroline Helps, Cairistiona Dougherty, Cinzia Yates, Greg Joughin and Chloe Woolley, the talented youngsters enjoyed an intensive two days getting creative with Manx culture, including an impromptu outdoor ceili! The workshops had a Hop tu naa theme this year, and culminated in a showcase concert on the Sunday afternoon. Pharrell Williams (or should it be Quilliams?!) would’ve be very impressed by the opening number of the concert - led by top Mollag, Greg Joughin, all of the Bree students and tutors performed hit song, Happy... but in Manx! With lots of happy clapping and vocal harmonies, Maynrey got the audience in the mood for a ‘fabulous’ (quote from one of the dads) concert! The folk group took to the stage next, with Manx trad tune, “Hie Mee Stiagh” and they were followed by the Bree Singers with “She Lhong Honnick Mee”. Next up was the fiddle group, Ny Fiddleryn, who performed two pieces from the Fiddyl book - dance tune “Eunyssagh Vona”, followed by Katie Lawrence’s beautiful piece “Tune for Grandad” which left a few people teary-eyed in the audience. A group of singers then came on with “Jinny the Witch” (sung to a new tune composed by Caz Dougherty) & “Hop tu naa” in Manx Gaelic.
