O'Malley - Francis Stuart Collection MS.1996.010 - Page 4 - Biographical note Henry Francis Montgomery Stuart, the son of a prosperous sheep rancher originally from County Antrim, Ireland, was born on April 29, 1902, in Townsville, Australia. Less than a year later, following the death of his father, he was brought to Meath, Ireland, where he lived with relatives. Stuart was educated at various preparatory schools in England; the last was Rugby, which he left in 1918 without graduating. In 1920, at age eighteen, he married Iseult Gonne, daughter of Irish nationalist Maud Gonne. During the Irish civil war, Stuart fought with the Republicans along side de Valera. In August 1922 he was captured by Free State troops and held in Maryborough Prison and later in the Curragh compound until his release in November 1923. Stuart published his first book, a privately printed collection of poems called We Have Kept the Faith, the following year. He did not publish very much poetry after this, but instead concentrated on writing fiction. His first novel,Women and God (1931) was a critical failure, but his next two books,Pigeon Irish (1932) and The Coloured Dome(1932), were well received. He was encouraged in his early years as a writer by W.B. Yeats. His novels all followed similar themes of protagonists who live sheltered, safe lives but were distraught by pain and suffering, leaving them outcast and yet somehow more aware of themselves. From 1933 through 1940, he published eight more novels and had two plays produced at the Abbey theater. In 1940, troubled by a declining career as well as by lingering financial and marital problems, Stuart accepted a position as lecturer in English and Irish at the University of Berlin, where he stayed, except for some months in Luxembourg, for the duration of World War II. In November 1945, after the war in Europe ended, he was arrested by French occupation forces and imprisoned first in Bregenz and later in Freiburg until July 1946. Though no formal charges were brought against him, he was detained presumably because of a series of weekly radio broadcasts he had made to Ireland from 1942 to 1944, in which he took a pro-Nazi perspective on world events. After his release, he lived in Freiburg until 1949 when he moved to Paris. In 1951 he went to London, where he lived for seven years. In 1954, following the death of his wife, who had remained in Ireland, he married Gertrud Meissner, whom he had met at the University of Berlin. He returned to Ireland in 1958 and lived near Dunshaughlin in County Meath before moving to the Windy Arbour section of Dublin in 1971. Stuart's first two postwar novels, The Pillar of Cloud (1948) and Redemption (1949) deal with a lot of the same issues that he went through during the war. They marked a new era of his work in which he could speak first hand of the pain and suffering that he had hitherto written about. From 1950 to 1959, Stuart published six more novels. Then in 1971, after twelve unpublished years, he produced Black List, Section H, a closely autobiographical novel that received much acclaim. In 1981, Stuart was inducted into Aosdána, his first significant public recognition in Ireland since he had been invited to join Yeats's Irish Academy of Letters in 1932. Aosdána was a body of about 150 elite artists in Ireland, whose endeavors were supported by government funds. He was eventually given the position of Saoi, the highest honor which the arts body can bestow on an artist. The poet Maire Mac an tSaoi tried to have him thrown out of Aosdana because of his alleged collusion with the Nazis. Francis Stuart died on Feb. 2, 2000 at his home in County Clare. William T.

VII+365 p., ISBN 978-1905785254, €22.95 1 A quarter-century of a friendship between a student and an elderly author frames this authorized biography of Stuart. His marriage to Maud Gonne’s daughter Iseult, contentious relationship with Yeats, and imprisonment for anti-Treaty gunrunning earned this troubled young poet attention even before his stint in WWII Berlin. His broadcasts from the Nazi capital gained him infamy, his alleged collaboration and purported anti-Semitism continued to rile critics a half-century later, and he remained to the end of his long life, as Kiely’s subtitle situates Stuart, opposed to conformity. 2 Kiely unravels what earlier studies, a short 1974 monograph by Jerry Natterstad and a basic 1990 life by Geoffrey Elborn, could not have revealed.

  • Louis Hamilton: a British Scholar in Nazi Germany
    fascism 5 (2016) 177-200 brill.com/fasc Louis Hamilton: A British Scholar in Nazi Germany Grant W. Grams Athabasca University [email protected] Abstract Louis Hamilton (1879–1948) was a British national that lectured at various institutions of higher learning in Berlin from 1904–1914, and 1919–1938. During the Third Reich (1933–1945) Hamilton was accused of being half-Jewish and his continued presence at institutions of higher learning was considered undesirable. Hamilton like other foreign born academics was coerced to leave Germany because the Nazi educational system viewed them as being politically unreliable. Hamilton’s experiences are an illustration of what foreign academics suffered during the Third Reich. The purpose of this article is to shed new light on the fate of foreign academics in Nazi Germany. Although the fate of Jewish professors and students has been researched non-Jewish and non-Aryan instructors has been a neglected topic within the history of Nazism. Keywords fascism – Aryan – foreigners – academics – intimidation – Germany – anti-Semitism – Louis Hamilton (1879–1948) Louis Hamilton (1879–1948) was a British national that had a remarkable career lecturing in Germany during the Kaiser Reich (1871 to 1918), Weimar Republic (1919–1933), and the early stages of the Nazi era (1933–1945). Between the two world wars academics in Europe, North America, private institutions, and the German government cited Hamilton as an authoritative source on Canada.1 1 National Archive of Canada (hereafter nac) c10234 File 307724: North German Lloyd to Egan Department of Immigration and Colonization (hereafter dic), 3 Aug. 1928; nac c10234 File 307724: dic to Egan dic, 21 July, 1927; Bundesarchiv Koblenz (hereafter bak) zsg1– 142–20 1922: Verein für das Deutschtum in Ausland Jahrbuch für 1922, 168; Hermann Wagner, Von Küste zu Küste: Bei deutschen Auswanderer in Kanada (Hamburg: Verlag der Ev.

The wide range of topics is evidence of your vivacity and openness to the world of ideas. When I was asked to speak to you on Irish Literature, I was intensely eager to accept at this time because the invitation coincided with the realization that this year is the 50th anniversary of the death of the great Irish poet William Butler Yeats. Yeats was the dominant figure, during his lifetime, not only on the Irish scene, but on the broader stage of English language letters. Also of interest, is the connection between Yeats and the movement now known as the Irish Literary Renaissance which he founded, and Rhode Island. More on that subject anon.

Kildare, Ireland ABSTRACT KEYWORDS This article begins by examining a series of 1944 articles by Anti-fascism; Antisemitism; Michael Sayers published in the New York newspaper PM and World War II; Cold War; the official response denying the existence of anti-Semitism in anti-communist blacklisting Ireland they prompted. The content of the articles and the char- acter of the official response to them are evaluated and the career of their author is then outlined. A Dublin-born Jewish writer, Sayers became politically active in the USA during the 1940s and, having been “blacklisted” as the Cold War intensified, returned to Europe to continue working mainly as a pseudon- ymous writer of television scripts.

  • The Shamrock and the Swastika
    The German Espionage in Ireland in World War II Shamrock by Carolle J. Carter and the $ 12.95 Incredible and revealing! These words truly de- scribe this thorough, documented study of German espionage in Ireland in World War II and of Eamon De Valera’s battle to keep his country neutral during this crucial period in history. This “spy story” is based on official and unoffi- cial sources, especially captured German files used here extensively for the first time, and on personal interviews with many of the participants—Irish government officials, Irish Republican Army mem- bers, and the German agents. It discloses to what extent the IRA collaborated with the Germans in their efforts to achieve na- tionalist goals. And it exposes the incredible, al- most unbelievable, bungling of the German Ab- wehr (Military Espionage) in its Irish mission because of internal jealousies, falsified reports, and amateurish agents. Although it may read like a Peter Sellers movie at times, this book, points out one of the chief participants, marks a considerable advance in our knowledge of what really went on publicly and secretly in Ireland in this exciting period. The apparent lack of support in Ireland’s south- ern twenty-six counties for Britain’s life and death struggle in World War II brought sharp criticism from English and American leaders, as well as many exaggerated tales about the extent of Irish cooperation with Germany and the hospitality ac- corded German spies by the IRA. In fact, the Irish government was unsympathetic toward Germany and sought to suppress the IRA, but few people (continued on back flap) THE SHAMROCK AND THE SWASTIKA The German Espionage in Ireland vy* m^v t in World War II OllCtllll ULK by Carolle J.

The result is a resistant and radical form which challenges the classical and modern specificity of the genre by introducing a non-conformist, post-Joycean protagonist, whose antithetical perception of history and socio-cultural norms contradicts the conservative efforts of the post-independence Irish State.
