Honour and Early Irish Society: a Study of the Táin Bó Cúalnge
Honour and Early Irish Society: a Study of the Táin Bó Cúalnge David Noel Wilson, B.A. Hon., Grad. Dip. Data Processing, Grad. Dip. History. Submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements of the degree of Masters of Arts (with Advanced Seminars component) in the Department of History, Faculty of Arts, University of Melbourne. July, 2004 © David N. Wilson 1 Abstract David Noel Wilson, Honour and Early Irish Society: a Study of the Táin Bó Cúalnge. This is a study of an early Irish heroic tale, the Táin Bó Cúailnge (The Cattle Raid of the Cooley). It examines the role and function of honour, both within the tale and within the society that produced the text. Its demonstrates how the pursuit of honour has influenced both the theme and structure of the Táin . Questions about honour and about the resolution of conflicting obligations form the subject matter of many of the heroic tales. The rewards and punishments of honour and shame are the primary mechanism of social control in societies without organised instruments of social coercion, such as a police force: these societies can be defined as being ‘honour-based’. Early Ireland was an honour- based society. This study proposes that, in honour-based societies, to act honourably was to act with ‘appropriate and balanced reciprocity’. Applying this understanding to the analysis of the Táin suggests a new approach to the reading the tale. This approach explains how the seemingly repetitive accounts of Cú Chulainn in single combat, which some scholars have found wearisome, serve to maximise his honour as a warrior in the eyes of the audience of the tale. -

Espelhos Distorcidos: O Romance at Swim- Two-Birds De Flann O'brien E a Tradição Literária Irlandesa
Universidade de Brasília Instituto de Letras Departamento de Teoria Literária e Literaturas Paweł Hejmanowski Espelhos Distorcidos: o Romance At Swim- Two-Birds de Flann O'Brien e a Tradição Literária Irlandesa Tese apresentada ao Programa de Pós-Graduação em Literatura para obtenção do título de Doutor, elaborada sob orientação da Profa. Dra. Cristina Stevens. Brasília 2011 IN MEMORIAM PROFESSOR ANDRZEJ KOPCEWICZ 2 Agradeço a minha colega Professora Doutora Cristina Stevens. A conclusão do presente estudo não teria sido possível sem sua gentileza e generosidade. 3 RESUMO Esta tese tem como objeto de análise o romance At Swim-Two-Birds (1939) do escritor irlandês Flann O’Brien (1911-1966). O romance pode ser visto, na perspectiva de hoje, como uma das primeiras tentativas de se implementar a poética de ficção autoconsciente e metaficção na literatura ocidental. Publicado na véspera da 2ª Guerra, o livro caiu no esquecimento até ser re-editado em 1960. A partir dessa data, At Swim-Two-Birds foi adquirindo uma reputação cult entre leitores e despertando o interesse crítico. Ao lançar mão do conceito mise en abyme de André Gide, o presente estudo procura mapear os textos dos quais At Swim-Two-Birds se apropria para refletí-los de forma distorcida dentro de sua própria narrativa. Estes textos vão desde narrativas míticas e históricas, passam pela poesia medieval e vão até os meados do século XX. Palavras-chave: Intertextualidade, Mis en abyme, Literatura e História, Romance Irlandês do séc. XX, Flann O’Brien. ABSTRACT The present thesis analyzes At Swim-Two-Birds, the first novel of the Irish author Flann O´Brien (1911-1966). -
1 FIONN in HELL an Anonymous Early Sixteenth-Century Poem In
1 FIONN IN HELL An anonymous early sixteenth-century poem in Scots describes Fionn mac Cumhaill as having ‘dang þe devill and gart him ʒowle’ (‘struck the Devil and made him yowl’) (Fisher 1999: 36). The poem is known as ‘The Crying of Ane Play.’ Scots literature of the late medieval and early modern period often shows a garbled knowledge of Highland culture; commonly portraying Gaels and their language and traditions negatively. Martin MacGregor notes that Lowland satire of Highlanders can, ‘presuppose some degree of understanding of the language, and of attendant cultural and social practices’ (MacGregor 2007: 32). Indeed Fionn and his band of warriors, 1 collectively Na Fiantaichean or An Fhèinn0F in modern Scottish Gaelic, are mentioned a number of times in Lowland literature of the period (MacKillop 1986: 72-74). This article seeks to investigate the fate of Fionn’s soul in late medieval and early modern Gaelic literature, both Irish and Scottish. This is done only in part to consider if the yowling Devil and his encounter with Fionn from the ‘The Crying of Ane Play’ might represent something recognizable from contemporaneous Gaelic literature. Our yowling Devil acts here as something of a prompt for an investigation of Fionn’s potential salvation or damnation in a number of sixteenth-century, and earlier, Gaelic ballads. The monumental late twelfth- or early thirteenth-century (Dooley 2004) text Acallam na 2 Senórach (‘The Colloquy of the Ancients’) will also be considered here.1F Firstly, the Scots poem must be briefly investigated in order to determine its understanding of Gaelic conventions. -

Recognising the many methodologies that make up historical research, the series presents innovative and interdisciplinary work that is conceptual and interpretative, and expands and challenges the common understandings of the Irish past. It showcases new and exciting scholarship on subjects such as the history of gender, power, class, the body, landscape, memory and social and cultural change. It also reflects the diversity of Irish historical writing, since it includes titles that are empirically sophisticated together with conceptually driven synoptic studies. 1.

Introduction: Medieval Causes
Notes Introduction: Medieval Causes 1. Cf. Goddard Henry Orpen, Ireland under the Normans 1169–1333 (Dublin: Four Courts Press, 2005) 70–71. 2. Orpen, Ireland under the Normans 1169–1333 15–16, 91–106. 3. As Cambrensis’s account does not include specific dates, those included in the description below come from Orpen, Ireland under the Normans 1169–1333. 4. The other significant contemporary version is Goddard Henry Orpen, The Song of Dermot and the Earl, an Old French Poem from the Carew Manuscript No. 596 Edited with Literal Translation and Notes a Facsimile and a Map (Oxford: The Clarendon Press, 1892). 5. Keaveney’s comment signals a narrative link between Ireland’s medieval and modern history that views the twelfth century as the “beginning” of the modern story, a claim borne out by the vast number of historical texts that use this specific period as an object of study unto itself, or as a point of demarcation. Over the course of the twentieth century, numerous historical texts chose the Norman invasion as a dead end or as a point of departure, indicating the tendency to identify the Norman invasion as a watershed moment. 6. As Orpen notes, “The importance of the event was not duly recognized at the time by the Irish Annalists any more than it was perceived by the Irish chief- tains. The notices in relation to it in the Irish Annals are consequently few and meagre in the extreme.” Orpen, The Song of Dermot and the Earl, an Old French Poem from the Carew Manuscript No. -

Of the Old and Middle Irish Periods (Ca. 600-1200) Is Not Well Represented in Extant Manuscripts – Or at Least Not When Com- P
WILLIAM MAHON OLD-IRISH VERSE FRAGMENTS ATTRIBUTED TO FER MUMAN MAC ECHTAIN THE COMPOSITION OF SECULAR POETRY BY KNOWN PROFESSIONAL POETS of the Old and Middle Irish periods (ca. 600-1200) is not well represented in extant manuscripts – or at least not when com- pared to the vast amount of surviving verse in Classical Modern Irish. Much of what remains is to be found in an eclectic range of sources: annals, glossaries, legal commentaries, poetic commen- taries, and bardic tracts. Unfortunately, the nature of these sources frequently leaves us with no context for a satisfactory in- terpretation of the verse they contain. In the case of glossaries, for example, a few lines – sometimes from a larger poem – are typically included to illustrate the use of an obscure word. The same applies to bardic tracts, in which the verse simply serves to provide an example of a metrical feature. In this paper I have assembled ten verse fragments attributed to a poet of this early period, Fer Muman mac Echtain, who ap- pears to have been highly regarded by the medieval scholars who WILLIAM MAHON assembled these sources 1. Included also are two additional items (Nos. XI and XII ) which, while not attributed to Fer Muman him- self, are contained in anecdotes about him. Of Fer Muman himself we know very little indeed. His name, ‘Man of Munster’, probably indicates that he came from that province, and the personal names in two of the items, Máel Umai (see the discussion in No. VIII ) and Milchú mac Onchon (No. X) suggest a southern focus or his activities.
