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. To examine such a resistant critical structure, this thesis focuses on Roddy Doyle’s A Star Called Henry (1999), Dermot Bolger’s The Woman’s Daughter (1987), William Trevor’s The Story of Lucy Gault (2002), Seamus Deane’s Reading In The Dark (1996), Patrick McCabe’s The Butcher Boy (1992), Frank McCourt’s Angela’s Ashes (1996), Edna O’Brien’s The Country Girls (1960) and A Pagan Place (1970), Nuala O’Faolain’s Are You Somebody? (1996), Francis Stuart’s Black List, Section H (1971), Flann O’Brien’s The Hard Life (1961), and John McGahern’s The Dark (1965). The selected novels provide an invaluable insight into the nation’s perception of sensitive concepts such as modernism and modern Irish identity, and how the confluence of these two produced a critical dialectical discourse which chronicles the formation of a non-conformist, ahistorical modern protagonist. To achieve a historical relevance, this thesis starts by examining Doyle’s fictionalization of 1916 Easter Rising and the chaotic 1920s; Bolger’s exploration of a repressive, inward-looking post-independence Irish society in the 1930s and the 1940s; Trevor’s engagement with a socio-political divide that further split the nation; Deane’s autogenous reading of an internal neocolonial ‘Othering’ during the ‘emergency’; McCabe’s illustration of the State’s architecture of oppression, and societal introversion from the early 1940s to the 1960s; Edna O’Brien’s and Nuala O’Faolain’s exemplary illustration of women’s blighted sexual Bildung in the 1940s, 50s and 60s; and finally examining a radical, ‘chronocentric’ depiction of a socio-political divide fictionalized by Stuart and McGahern, which emerged during the early days of the State and continued to dominate the nation well into the 1960s and the early 1970s. By examining psycho-social, sexual and political traumata reflected in the modern Irish Bildungsroman, this thesis provides a dialectical reading of the gap that appeared between the revolutionary ethos of 2 independent Irish identity formation, rooted in the principles of 1916 Rising and the 1920s, and that which appeared in the form of a tolerant republicanism in the 1980s. To study this socio-historical gap, I examine the nation’s criticism of the State’s politics and structure of formation, manifested in narratives of individual and national formation. The modern Irish Bildungsroman, I argue, appropriates the traditional features of the genre, for instance, chronicling the individual’s psychosocial formation and the potential to re-engage with their society, and produces a critical matrix for a dialectical discourse which enables the nation to voice their concerns vis-à-vis a politically dichotomous post-independence Irish society, a repressed history, and at the same time to externalize their perception of modern Irish formation, being founded on an anti-colonial, non-conservative and politically aware consciousness. The result, which I call the ‘Meta-National Narrative of Formation,’ is a historically resistant and socio-politically conscious narrative which finds independence in rejection, imposition, and deformation, namely, by defying the State’s architecture of formation as well as their nativist, retrograde visions of Irish identity. 3 Contents Abstract p. 2 Acknowledgments p. 5 Introduction p. 7 Bildungsroman as the narrative of growth and integration p. 7 Dialectics of Bildung: Pedagogy and Apprenticeship p. 11 De-structured Ireland and the ‘Meta-National’ Dialectics of Formation p. 21 The Modern Irish Novel and the Narrative of Resistance p. 35 Chapter I: The Nationalist Mirage and the Modern Irish Identity p. 40 Meta-Nationalist Formations in Roddy Doyle’s A Star Called Henry p.42 Radical Meta-national Formations and Apologist Anti-Nationalism in Trevor’s The Story of Lucy Gault p.66 Meta-National Irishness in Bolger’s The Woman’s Daughter: Against the State’s Politics of Oblivion and Formation p.74 The Nationalist Isolation and the Phantasm of Modern Ireland in Deane’s Reading in the Dark p.83 Chapter II: Isolationism, Containment, and Defiance: Decolonizing p. 90 Anti-authoritarian Irish Identity and the Nationalist Politics of Containment The Telos of Modern Man: Non serviam p.92 Decolonizing Anarchism in Post-Colonial Ireland p.96 Francie as The Madman: Madness and Bildung p.115 Chapter III: Marginal Formations and the Modern Irish Woman p.135 Against the Oedipal Politics of Formation in Edna O’Brien’s A Pagan Place and The Country Girls and Nuala O’Faolain’s Are You Somebody?: “Women do not Count, Neither Shall they be Counted” p.138 Chapter IV: Individualism, Modernism and Beyond: Towards a Modern Irish Dialectics of Formation in Francis Stuarts’s Black List, Section H p.191 Afterword p.230 Bibliography p.238 4 Acknowledgements I would like to express my sincere thankfulness to Vassiliki Kolocotroni, my first supervisor, for the immeasurable amount of support and guidance, her perspicacious feedback over the years, and for helping me steer my research in the right direction.

I am also indebted to my mother, Victoria, for her heartfelt prayers and blessings. I dedicate this thesis to them. 5 The conception of the symbolic novel is polymorphous: now a single character moves through spheres deformed by his own hallucinations, by his temperament, and the only reality lies in these deformations. … Thus, scorning the puerile methods of naturalism … the Symbolic- Impressionist novel will build its work of subject deformation, strong in this axiom: that art can only seek in the objective a simple and extremely succinct starting point. Jean Moréas, “A Literary Manifesto” 206 But our particular friends were the rats, that dwelt by the stream. They were long and black. We brought them such tidbits from our ordinary as rinds of cheese, and morsels of gristle, and we brought them also birds’ eggs, and frogs, and fledgelings. Sensible of these attentions, they would come flocking round us at our approach, with every sign of confidence and affection, and glide up our trouserlegs, and hang upon our breasts. And then we would sit down in the midst of them, and give them to eat, out of our hands, of a nice fat frog, or a baby thrush. Or seizing suddenly a plump young rat, resting in our bosom after its repast, we would feed it to its mother, or its father, or its brother, or its sister, or to some less fortunate relative. It was on these occasions, we agreed, after an exchange of views, that we came nearest to God. Samuel Beckett, Watt 153 6 Introduction Bildungsroman as the narrative of growth and integration The Bildungsroman or under its various headings, namely, the novel of formation, of youth, of initiation, of apprenticeship, of education and recently even the life-novel, has been regarded by scholars such as Franco Moretti at one and the same time as a debatable yet “pivotal point of our history”, narrating the link between national and individual formation (The Way 16). A socio-historically conscious narrative, the Bildungsroman emerged in the late eighteenth-century Germany as an objective portrayal of the harmonious interplay between individual and national formation. It was this perception of the Bildungsroman that provided a metonymic insight into the European ethos of Bildung,1 resulting in a narrative that as Georg Lukács notes identified individual formation as a historically conditioned, “uninterrupted process of changes” (The Historical Novel 23), chronicling the development of the “man along with the world” (Bakhtin, Speech Genres 23);2 and as Moretti claims, it becomes a means that reflects the individual’s struggles to keep not just the history but also society “at a safe distance” while striving towards psychosocial perfection (The Way vii).3 Such various “headings,” according to Jerome Buckley, are debatable for they are sporadically yet spuriously used when critics and readers refer to novels that are neither about self-cultivation nor self-determination, resulting in a failed conceptualization of the term (Season of Youth vii).

  • Displacing the Nation: Performance, Style and Sex in Eimear Mcbride's the Lesser Bohemians
    Studi irlandesi. A Journal of Irish Studies, n. 9 (2019), pp. 161-178 DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.13128/SIJIS-2239-3978-25510 Displacing the Nation: Performance, Style and Sex in Eimear McBride’s The Lesser Bohemians Gerry Smyth Liverpool John Moores University (<[email protected]>) Abstract: Eimear McBride’s second novel revisits many of the stylistic practices and conceptual themes which made A Girl is a Half-formed Thing such an important intervention within post-Tiger Irish cultural politics. By setting The Lesser Bohemians in London during the 1990s, how- ever, McBride displaces both the temporal and spatial focus on the here (Ireland) and now (post-Crash) which has tended to dominate contemporary Irish fiction. The theatrical milieu within which the main characters operate, moreover, as well as the novel’s emphasis on the redemptive power of sex, likewise militate against any attempt to regard it as just another Irish “trauma” narrative. By revealing the extent of Irish/British cultural interpenetration, McBride exposes the bad faith of both austerity economics and political isolationism. Keywords: Eimear McBride, Modernism, Neoliberalism, Perfor- mance, Sex 1. Introduction “Ireland”, the journalist Fintan O’Toole once wrote, “is something that often happens elsewhere” (1994, 27); to which I would add that one of the most important places where modern Ireland has “happened” is London. With a population roughly twice the size of the whole island, London looms dauntingly large in the Irish spatial imagination. Besides being the seat of the imperial overmasters, the great metropolis to the east is also a cultur- al melting pot and an economic powerhouse – entrepôt or final destination for generations of emigrants.

  • Collection List A19
    Leabharlann Náisiúnta na hÉireann National Library of Ireland Collection List 19 Augustine Henry and Evelyn Gleeson Papers (MS 13,698) (Accession 2501) Partial calendar with brief description of letters sent by Augustine Henry and Evelyn Gleeson between 1879 and 1928. Letters are arranged according to year and date. 1 Introduction Henry, Augustine (1857–1930), botanical collector and dendrologist, was born on 2 July 1857 in Dundee, the first of six children of Bernard Henry (c.1825–1891) and Mary MacNamee. His father, at one time a gold-prospector in California and Australia, was a native of the townland of Tyanee on the west bank of the River Bann in co. Londonderry. Soon after Austin (as Augustine was called within his family) was born, the family moved to Cookstown, co. Tyrone, where his father was in business as a flax dealer and owned a grocery shop. Henry was educated at Cookstown Academy and in Queen's College, Galway. He studied natural sciences and philosophy, graduating with a first-class bachelor of arts degree and a gold medal in 1877. Henry then studied medicine at Queen's College, Belfast, where he obtained his master of arts degree in 1878. For a year he was in the London Hospital, and during a visit to Belfast in 1879, at the suggestion of one of his professors, he applied for a medical post in the Chinese imperial maritime customs service. Henry completed his medical studies as rapidly as he could, became a licentiate from the Royal College of Physicians in Edinburgh, passed the Chinese customs service examinations (for which he required a working knowledge of Chinese) and and left for China in the summer of 1881.

Irish responses to Fascist Italy, 1919–1932 by Mark Phelan A thesis submitted in fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Supervisor: Prof. Gearóid Ó Tuathaigh Department of History School of Humanities National University of Ireland, Galway December 2012 ABSTRACT This project assesses the impact of the first fascist power, its ethos and propaganda, on key constituencies of opinion in the Irish Free State. Accordingly, it explores the attitudes, views and concerns expressed by members of religious organisations; prominent journalists and academics; government officials/supporters and other members of the political class in Ireland, including republican and labour activists. By contextualising the Irish response to Fascist Italy within the wider patterns of cultural, political and ecclesiastical life in the Free State, the project provides original insights into the configuration of ideology and social forces in post-independence Ireland. Structurally, the thesis begins with a two-chapter account of conflicting confessional responses to Italian Fascism, followed by an analysis of diplomatic intercourse between Ireland and Italy. Next, the thesis examines some controversial policies pursued by Cumann na nGaedheal, and assesses their links to similar Fascist initiatives. The penultimate chapter focuses upon the remarkably ambiguous attitude to Mussolini’s Italy demonstrated by early Fianna Fáil, whilst the final section recounts the intensely hostile response of the Irish labour movement, both to the Italian regime, and indeed to Mussolini’s Irish apologists.

Seiler calls “contemporary conscious popular music”, which includes “music of any genre that focuses on social issues and perceived problems in society and may or may not include music that carries an overtly political message”. Consequently, much of the analysis of their songs claim that these are only a mere description of the terrible situation countries such as Ireland and the US were facing at that time. In this paper, however, I will examine the sociopolitical significance of U2’s songs as an appreciator of their cultural contribution and show that the events which formed the backdrop to some of U2’s most explicitly political songs in the 1980s – especially those included in War and The Joshua Tree – are etched indelibly into the text of both Ireland’s and America’s troubled colonial and political history.

During civil wars, neighbors and even members of the same family can find themselves on The Irish Civil War 1922-23 sides. This is what happened during the Irish Civil War of — In the early s Ireland was ruled by Britain. Many people in Ireland wanted to bring an end to British rule. In some of the Irish members of the British Parliament decided to set up their own government. This led to fighting between British and Irish forces. The treaty also stated that Ireland still had to be loyal to the British monarch. Some people in Ireland were very unhappy with the treaty because it did not bring independence to the whole country. Others were happy that most of the country was free of British rule. The Irish people were divided by these different views. Eamon de Valera became the leader of the republicans—the people who were against the treaty. Michael Collins was one of the leaders of the new Irish government, and he supported the treaty. In June a general election was held in Ireland. Most of the Irish people supported the treaty. Those who were against the treaty had taken over the Four Courts building in Dublin. After the election Collins ordered an attack on the Four Courts.

    Adapting Flann O’Brien’s ‘The Brother’ Andrew Sherlock Liverpool John Moores University I was first introduced to the rather stiffly titled notion of Anglo-Irish Literature when I signed up to a course of the same name reading for my degree in English in the early 1980s. It was a popular course mainly due to its custodianship under the then rising academic star and Irish literature expert, Bob Welch, whose recent death has caused much sadness to all who knew and studied with and under him. Bob was soft of tone but very much twinkle of eye and brought a muscular appreciation to his literary teaching which became positively visceral when he dragged his tutorials, as he always did, on to his favourite ground – anything to do with W. B. Yeats.

Presented to the Faculty of the Graduate School of The University of Texas at Arlington in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of MASTER OF ARTS IN HISTORY THE UNIVERSITY OF TEXAS AT ARLINGTON December 2010 ! ! Copyright © by Merry Jett 2010 All Rights Reserved ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS I started this three-year project scouring a five-volume set of primary documents about the Great Irish Famine for a medical history seminar class. At the time, I did not know that this seminar paper would turn into my thesis. I drove to New Orleans on a quest for primary sources and I was not disappointed. Each librarian and archivist that I met was helpful, understanding, and knowledgeable. Without them, I would not have been able to write my thesis. I would like to thank Mary Holt and Susan Dorsey from the Rudolph Matas Library for not only allowing me to look through all their records, but for emailing me the documents I needed. I would also like to thank Mallory Whitfield from the US Mint for letting me use the business records of Charity Hospital and Mary Lou Eichhorn at the Williams Research Center who introduced me to Sister Stanislaus. A special thanks to Irene Wainwright at the New Orleans Public Library for her patience, and for pulling out the Joseph Jones memoirs that I did not even know existed. I was not expecting such a warm welcome, but I am grateful for it.
