Hannah Lynch and Spain. Collected Journalism of an Irish New Woman, 1892-1903 / Edited by Pere Gifra-Adroher and Jacqueline Hurtley — 1. ed. — Venezia: Edizioni Ca’ Foscari - Digital Publishing, 2018. — 252 p.; 23 cm. — (Biblioteca di Rassegna iberistica; 12). — ISBN 978-88- 6969-293-2. 44 URL http://edizionicafoscari.unive.it/it/edizioni/libri/978-88-6969-293-2/ DOI 10.30687/978-88-6969-292-5 Hannah Lynch and Spain Collected Journalism of an Irish New Woman, 1892-1903 edited by Pere Gifra-Adroher and Jacqueline Hurtley Acknowledgments A number of institutions and individuals have enabled Hannah Lynch’s writings on Spain to be brought to public attention at the present time. Institutional funding for the project has generously been provided by the Irish Embassy in Spain, the Universitat Pompeu Fabra (CER – Institut de Cultura) and the Universitat de Barcelona (Comissió de Recerca – Facultat de Filologia). We greatly appreciate their commitment to our research. We have accessed a number of archives and libraries in Europe and the United States: Archives Mu- nicipales Boulogne-Billancourt, Archives de Paris, Archivo General Militar de Madrid, Arxiu Històric de la Ciutat de Barcelona, Arxiu Diocesà de Barcelona, Arxiu Nacional de Catalunya, Arxiu Contemporani de Barcelona, Biblioteca de Catalunya, Biblioteca de la Universitat de Barcelona, Biblioteca de la Universitat Pompeu Fabra, Biblioteca Nacional de España, Bibliothèque Nationale de France, British Library, Cambridge University Library, Library of Congress, National Library of Ireland, Registro de la Propiedad de Madrid, Registre de la Propietat de Barcelona, The Library Company of Philadelphia, The Open University. We are most grateful to staff in the archives and libraries for their professional- ism and efforts on our behalf. A number of individuals have also generously contributed time and expertise at significant stages in the project. We are deeply indebted to Faith Binckes and Kathryn Laing for sharing information and providing feedback. Michael Counahan, Lynch’s grand-nephew, promptly responded to our enquiries and was most generous in supplying family memorabilia and granting permission for the reproduction of the photograph of Hannah Lynch which appears in this volume. Without the ready disposition of Bernard Catalan, our French connection, it would have been difficult to find our way through several Parisian archives. The Petites Soeurs des Pauvres in Paris charitably welcomed our inquiries regarding Lynch’s residence at 60/60bis Avenue de Breteuil. Pablo Salvador kindly facilitated contact with Joaquín Sagnier de Sentmenat, 9th Marquis of Sentmenat, and his spouse. For their skills in editorial matters and with computer technology, we are in debt to Aitor Canal, Ramon Maseda, Lluïsa Astruc, Marina Garcia, Marta Manso, Francesca Prevedello and Lluís Gifra. Alba Montaño Spiers’ diligence in carrying through an early search for Lynch material in the Spanish press was of great value. Material from this project was delivered at conferences organised by the Asociación Española de Estudios Irlandeses (AEDEI) in Granada in 2015 and the Centre for the International Study of Litera- tures in English (CISLE) in Ljubljana in 2018. We wish to express our gratitude to those colleagues present who commented on and encouraged us in our research on Hannah Lynch. The academic advice or readiness to listen provided by Isabel Alonso, Montserrat Cots, Kathleen Firth, Gemma López, Doireann MacDermott, Antonio Monegal, Ana Moya, Maria Morrás, Marta Ortega, Josep Pich and Martín Rodrigo has been greatly appreciated. Finally, thanks are due to Enric Bou for the interest expressed in our work, the enthusiasm and energy he has invested in the publishing process and, not least, for having accepted the project for a series devoted to Iberian Studies.

At first he lay still on his camp bed, staring at the orifice of the bell tent, which was only partially covered by the canvas flap let down by Mohammed, after he had bidden his master good-night. Behind the tent the fettered mules stamped on the rough, dry ground, and now and then the heavy rustling of a wild boar could be heard, as it shuffled through the scrub towards the water that lay in the hollow beyond the camp. The wayward songs of the Moorish attendants had died into silence. They slept, huddled together and shrouded in their djelabes. But their wailing rapture of those old triumphant days, when on the heights above Granada, beneath the eternal snows, their brethren walked as conquerors, had been succeeded by the cries of the uneasy beasts that throng the mountains between Tangier and Tetuan. And Renfrew said to himself that the jackals kept him from sleeping. He lay still and wondered if Claire were awake in her tent close by. If so, if her dark eyes were unclouded, what journeys must her imagination be making! She was so sensitive to sound of any kind.

Le premier s’appuie sur le texte d’une conférence donnée par Behan à New York en 1962 pour « explorer l’importante influence de Joyce sur Behan tant dans son rôle de chroniqueur de Dublin que d’auteur moderniste » (p. 12). Fagan, quant à lui, analyse la manière dont O’Nolan présente Behan, le personnage, dans les chroniques écrites sous le pseudonyme de Myles na Gopaleen dans les années 1950. Pour terminer, Michael Pierse s’attaque à la dernière pièce de Behan, Richard’s Cork Leg.

Her mother, Anna Theresa Calderwood, believed to be of Presbyterian descent, belonged to a family who had acquired property in Dublin. Her Catholic father, Michael Lynch, who became a successful shopkeeper, merchant, and property holder, died before her birth. Soon after, in 1860, her mother married a former admirer, the Fenian James Cantwell, who came to run the Star and Garter Hotel in Dublin (Gibbs 1904; Stephenson 1938, 60), owned by the Calderwood family. Lynch spent part of her childhood with her sisters (Anna [Nannie], Mary and Virginia) together with a number of stepsisters in what appears to have been a stimulating atmosphere where books as well as political and intellectual discussion were not uncommon (Tynan 1913, 1 Overviews of Lynch’s life and career to date are Binckes (2000) and Clarke (2009).

  • The Feminism and Political Radicalism of Helen Taylor in Victorian Britain and Ireland
    The Feminism and Political Radicalism of Helen Taylor in Victorian Britain and Ireland Janet Smith October 2014 Thesis submitted in partial fulfillment for the degree of PhD awarded by London Metropolitan University Acknowledgements I would like to express my special appreciation and thanks to my supervisors, Dr Lucy Bland and Jonathan Moore, who have given me tremendous support, far beyond what was professionally required. I am indebted to their knowledge, expertise and the enthusiasm they showed for the subject. Without their encouragement and advice this thesis could never have been completed. Thanks also to Dr Katharina Rowold for her initial valuable supervision. I also owe a debt of gratitude to Dr Melvyn Walmsley who proof read the final thesis and offered encouragement in the final weeks before completion. He ensured a flagging PhD student reached the finishing line. Thanks also to the Research Office staff at London Metropolitan University, in particular Cathy Larne and Hema Joshi who provided much valued professional support at a time of great change and upheaval at the university. I would also like to mention the staff of London Metropolitan Library who were always a pleasure to deal with when they too were undergoing uncertain times. I would further like to acknowledge the help I received from the staff of the archives I consulted. In particular the London School of Economics, the British Library, the Newspaper Library at Colindale, the Women’s Library, the Welcome Institute and the London Metropolitan Archives A special place in my affections is for ever reserved for the Clark Archive in Street, Somerset where I spent a most wonderful and unforgettable summer’s day in what must be the friendliest archive in the world.

Lynch’s writing, like the work of some of her contemporaries, Katherine Tynan, Jane Barlow, Rosa Mulholland and others, has become the focus of renewed critical interest.
