Irish Republican Literature 1968-1998: “Standing on the Threshold of Another Trembling World” IRISH REPUBLICAN LITERATURE 1968-1998: “STANDING ON THE THRESHOLD OF ANOTHER TREMBLING WORLD” DISSERTATION Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By David F. Fanning, M.A. * * * * * The Ohio State University 2003 Dissertation Committee: Approved by Professor Morris Beja, Adviser Professor Barbara Rigney _______________________ Adviser Professor Sebastian Knowles English Graduate Program Copyright by David F. Fanning 2003 ABSTRACT Since the late 1960s, Ireland has seen an intense struggle for national self- determination waged on its own soil. This struggle is an extension of a centuries-long fight to free Ireland from British rule and establish an Irish Republic comprising the entirety of the island. This project examines the literary productions of Irish Republicans and analyzes the ways in which this literature interrogates notions of history and negotiates power within continually shifting conceptions of nationalism. It is impossible to understand Ireland without understanding the Anglo-Irish conflict and how it has been examined and critiqued by Irish writers. As such, it is irresponsible and scholastically suspect if scholars ignore the material emanating from what have quite literally been the front lines of that conflict. A preoccupation with questions of identity and belonging typifies much Irish writing. By examining Irish Republican texts written between the resumption of armed conflict in the north of Ireland in 1968 and the Good Friday Agreement of 1998, I show that the discursive complexities of the national situation are mirrored and in some cases anticipated by Irish Republican writing in ways which can shed light on Irish culture in general. I demonstrate that it is a mistake to view nationalism as modular and unchanging; indeed, I show that conceptions of nationalism in Ireland have developed and changed in complex ways in recent years. The present project attempts to place the literature produced by members of the Irish Republican movement within the context of Irish history as well as within the history of Irish ii literature, demonstrating Irish Republican literature’s important place in discussions of the interplay between history and expression and between writing and warfare. My first chapter is an overview of modern Irish literary history with a focus on the development of nationalist thought. It establishes the crucial role played by nationalist discourses in the formation of Irish literature and draws connections between this literature and the concerns of literary and critical theory. The chapters which follow examine specific modes and trends of Republican discourse. Chapter 2 argues that Republican autobiographies subvert autobiographical conventions by shifting the focus of the text from the author to the community, with the text becoming a critique of national and historiographical ideologies. The third chapter focuses on the writings of Irish Republican prisoners from the advent of internment without trial in 1971 to the hunger strikes of 1981, and argues that the literature of this second battlefield reads as a condensed history of Irish literature as a whole, with all its themes of exile, loss and perseverance. The final chapter demonstrates that Irish Republican writing often blurs the distinction between the material and the imaginary by addressing the political issues facing nationalist communities in the years following the hunger strikes. Together, the chapters trace the evolution and development of an area of Irish literary history which has too often been ignored. iii Dedicated to Maria iv ACKNOWLEDGMENTS The topic of my dissertation is unusual for doctoral students in English, and it took the trust and help of many people to gain access to some of the information included herein. From the Republican movement, I’d like to thank Francie Broderick, Joe Cahill, Toni and Peter Carragher, Noel Cassidy, Pat Doherty, Seán Fay, Gina Herold, Richard Johnson, Bobby Laverty, Micheál Mac Giolla Ghunna, the late Seán MacStiofáin, Gerry McGeough, the late John McGuffin, the late Jack McKinney, Danny Morrison, Matt Morrison, Tarlac Ó Conghalaigh, Seán Oilibhéar and Chris Ward. In addition to these individuals, I’d also like to extend my thanks to the leadership and volunteers of Sinn Féin and the Irish Northern Aid Committee. I also deeply appreciate the trust given me by the men and women of the Irish Republican Army. My greatest thanks go to the people of the north of Ireland who were so generous with their time and energy and without whom this project would never have been completed. On the academic side of things, my greatest thanks go to my advisor Murray Beja, whose encouragement and interest were always there and always (if at times silently) appreciated. I also thank Chad Allen, Vincent Cheng, Walter (Mac) Davis, Leigh v Gilmore, Wayne Hall, Noel Ignatiev, Ellen Carol Jones, Sebastian Knowles, Seamus Metress, Barbara Rigney and Robert White. vi VITA August 13, 1971.........................................................................Born — Cincinnati, Ohio 1994.......................................................................B.A. English, University of Cincinnati 1994-2000.................................

Often, clues to a speaker’s political background can be found in the very words she or he uses to discuss the island and the powers and factions which exist within it. First, there is the problem of the nomenclature to be employed when referring to the land itself. Politically, the island of Ireland is divided into two states known as the Republic of Ireland and Northern Ireland. The Republic is also referred to by some as the Saorstat, or Free State. “The South” is often used in reference to the Republic, as is, less frequently, “Southern Ireland.” The Northern Ireland state is referred to variously as “Ulster,” and simply, “the North.” There are problems with all of these names, as Irish Republicans are quick to point out. For Republicans, “the Republic” is a misnomer, since the goal of both the original Republicans and their modern day equivalents is the establishment of a sovereign, all- island state, and this sovereignty is obviously denied in reality; since a Republic cannot be anything less than a united sovereign state, using the term “Republic” to refer to the truncated twenty-six county state is seen as inaccurate. Likewise, the term Saorstat is generally only used by Republicans to refer to the Republic in a sarcastic manner, though it is used by others without negative connotations, when used at all. As far as variations ix on “North” and “South” go, the fact that the northernmost part of Ireland, County Donegal, is, using this logic, in the south of Ireland, defeats any real purpose these terms may serve: that said, they are used so frequently that their acceptance as shorthand is general. “Ulster” is frequently used by English politicians and the media, as well as by Loyalists and unionists, to describe the six-county state; this, too, is inaccurate, as the term “Ulster” refers to the ancient kingdom of Ulster (in Irish Ulaid), which comprised what are now nine counties (the six occupied counties, plus Donegal, Monaghan and Cavan). Republicans, then, refer to what is known as the Republic of Ireland as “the twenty-six counties” and what is known as Northern Ireland as “the six counties.” I will follow this practice with a few exceptions. It should be noted that some people use the term Éire, the Irish Gaelic word for “Ireland.” This is normally only used when speaking in

  • The Irish Diaspora in Britain & America
    Reflections on 1969 Lived Experiences & Living history (Discussion 6) The Irish Diaspora in Britain & America: Benign or Malign Forces? compiled by Michael Hall ISLAND 123 PAMPHLETS 1 Published January 2020 by Island Publications 132 Serpentine Road, Newtownabbey BT36 7JQ © Michael Hall 2020 [email protected] http://cain.ulst.ac.uk/islandpublications The Fellowship of Messines Association gratefully acknowledge the assistance they have received from their supporting organisations Printed by Regency Press, Belfast 2 Introduction The Fellowship of Messines Association was formed in May 2002 by a diverse group of individuals from Loyalist, Republican and other backgrounds, united in their realisation of the need to confront sectarianism in our society as a necessary means of realistic peace-building. The project also engages young people and new citizens on themes of citizenship and cultural and political identity. Among the different programmes initiated by the Messines Project was a series of discussions entitled Reflections on 1969: Lived Experiences & Living History. These discussions were viewed as an opportunity for people to engage positively and constructively with each other in assisting the long overdue and necessary process of separating actual history from some of the myths that have proliferated in communities over the years. It was felt important that current and future generations should hear, and have access to, the testimonies and the reflections of former protagonists while these opportunities still exist. Access to such evidence would hopefully enable younger generations to evaluate for themselves the factuality of events, as opposed to some of the folklore that passes for history in contemporary society.

Before War in Donbass (2014-present), which lead to 9,371 death up to June 3, 20161 it also can be called the bloodiest conflict, but unfortunately The Donbass War snatched from The Troubles “the victory palm” of this dreadful competition. The importance of this issue, however, is still essential and vital because of challenges Europe experience now. Both proxy war on Donbass and recent terrorist attacks had strained significantly the political atmosphere in Europe, showing that Europe is not safe anymore. In this conditions, it is necessary for us to try to assume, how far this insecurity and tensions might go and will the circumstances and the challenges of a international relations ignite the conflict in Northern Ireland again. It also makes sense for us to recognize that the Troubles was also a proxy war to a certain degree 23 Sources, used in this essay are mostly mass-media articles, human rights observers’ and international organizations reports, and surveys made by political scientists on this issue.

This Memorial Quilt Project does not claim to represent the totality of lives lost across Great Britain and The Republic of Ireland but rather seeks to provide some understanding of the sacrifices paid by communities, families and individuals who have been victimised by ‘Republican’ or ‘Loyalist’ terrorism.
