  • Representations of Jews in Irish Literature
    REPRESENTATIONS OF JEWS IN IRISH LITERATURE A Bibliographic Database School of English and History, Ulster University 1 2 Contents Introduction …………………………………………………………...................…. 5 Years 1590 – 1800 ………………………………………...............................…… 7 Years: 1801 – 1900 ……………………………………...................................…… 9 Years: 1901 – 2000 …………………………………..................................…….. 29 Years: 2001 – Present ………………………........................................………..47 3 4 Introduction who is invisible enough to see you ― Paul Celan This bibliographic database archives all texts and writers relevant to the representations of Jews in Ireland (subject to copyright) from the earliest times to the present. The database illustrates how the representation of Jews intersects with all the main genres of Irish literature, telling us much about the notion of identity – both Irish and Jewish – and how in fact, a complete psychohistory of Irishness and Jewishness is hidden in these neglected representations. Divided into four distinct sections, this database has been archived in chronological order ranging from the earliest texts documented between 1590- 1800, the dynamic societal and literary advances made between 1801-1900, texts written in the twentieth century from 1901-2000 and finishing with literature produced in and about Ireland between 2001 to the present day. This mapping of literature was culled from the bibliographies of articles generated by electronic journals and hand searches. This review process yielded 603 publications. This document is available for download from the Ulster University website at: http://www.arts.ulster.ac.uk/jewishrepresentations/ This database has been created in association with Ulster University, the Arts & Humanities Research Council, the Irish-Jewish Museum, NUI Galway, Armagh Public Library, PRONI and the Royal Irish Academy. 5 6 Years: 1590 – 1800 Spenser, Edmund.

No obstante, en términos de su tamaño y carácter interno, hay buenas razones para considerar el Reino de Escocia y el Señorío de Irlanda como modelos de sociedad política. Más allá las significativas diferencias en el estatus, leyes y relaciones externas, hacia el año 1400 los dos territorios pueden relacionarse por compartir experiencias comunes de gobierno y de guerras internas. Éstas son las más aparentes desde una perspectiva regional. Tanto Irlanda y Escocia operaban como sistemas políticos regionalizados en los que predominaban los intereses de las principales casas aristocráticas. La importancia de dichas casas fue reconocida tanto internamente como por el gobierno real. Observando en regiones paralelas, Munster y el nordeste de Escocia, es posible identificar rasgos comparables y diferencias de largo término en dichas sociedades.

  • Bryan Family History
    BRIANIANA A BIOGRAPHICAL PEDIGREE BY EDWARD A. BRYAN About the middle of the sixteenth century, Sir Francis Bryan, Knight, rendered his government a rather curious service. In 1548 James Butler, ninth Earl of Ormonde, an Irish noble, whose powerful influence was obnoxious to the government at Dublin, died in London of poison. Thereupon his widow, Joan, daughter and heiress of James Fitz-Gerald, tenth Earl of Desmond, sought to marry her relative, Gerald Fitz-Gerald, heir of the fifteenth Earl of Desmond. To prevent this marriage, which would have united the leading representatives of the two chief Irish noble houses, Sir Francis was induced to prefer a suit to the lady himself. In 1548 he married the widowed countess, was shortly nominated Lord Marshal of Ireland, and arrived in Dublin with his wife in November 1548. This marriage united the scions of two royal houses, the one English, the other, Irish. Sir Francis Bryan was the son of Sir Thomas Bryan and Margaret, daughter of Sir Humphrey Bourchier, and sister of John Bourchier, Lord Berners. Sir Thomas Bryan was Knighted by Henry VII in 1497, was "knight of the body" at the opening of Henry VIII’s reign, and served repeatedly on the commission of the peace of Buckinghamshire, where the family property was settled. Sir Francis’ grandfather, Sir Thomas Bryan, Chief Justice of the Common Pleas from 1471 until his death in 1500, is believed to have been a descendant of Sir Guy de Bryan on Walwyn’s Castle, County Pembroke, and Tor Brian, Devon. Sir Guy was summoned to Parliament in 1350 by Edward III, whereby he was held to have become Lord Bryan.

This little work 1s intended to be, as far as possible, a history of those places in the County of Limerick about which there is something to be told. The length of time covered ranges from the pre-historic period almost up to the present. Around the hill of Knockainy linger memories of the last remnants , of an extinct race. The waters of Lough Gur and the adjacent swamps y~eldup remains of animals no longer to be found in th~scountry. The same district preserves the rude memorials of men of the Stone Age whose cromlechs, circles and pillar stones have survived all the changes and chances of the inter- vening centuries. The vigorous heathenism of the early Celts has bequeathed the names of its last heroes to several of the more noticeable physical features of the county, To them succeeded the VI.
