Bryan MacMahon Letters to Jack O'Reilly MS.2003.018 - Page 4 - Biographical Note: Bryan MacMahon Bryan MacMahon was born in Listowel, County Kerry, Ireland on September 29, 1909 to Patrick and Joanna (CAughlin) MacMahon. He was educated locally at the national school and then went to St. Michael's College in Listowel. He trained as a teacher at St. Patrick's Teacher Training College in Dublin. He taught briefly in Dublin but returned to live in Listowel for the remainder of his life. In 1936 he married Kitty Ryan and they had five sons. MacMahon taught for 44 years at Scoil Réalta na Maidine (a parochial school), ran a bookstore, and during World War II worked in factories in England. MacMahon was a novelist, short-story writer, dramatist, folklorist, and collector of traditional Irish music and song. He began publishing short stories in The Bell magazine, which were collected into his first book, The Lion Tamer, in 1948. Over his career he authored ballads, children's books, fiction, poetry, travel books, and scripts for radio and television, but he was best known for his novels and short stories. His first stories "The Good Dead in the Green Hills" and "Exile's Return" were published in The Bell in 1945. Some of his other works include his autobiography The Master (1992), The Red Petticoat and Other Stories (1955), and Children of the Rainbow (1952). His novel The Honey Spike was adapted for the stage and performed at the Abbey Theater in 1961. He also helped to co-found Listowel Writers' Week in 1970. He was made a member of the Irish Academy of Letters. He died in on February 13, 1998 at the age of 88. Sources: Battersby, Eileen. "Writing of Bryan MacMahon put social irony in sharp focus."

    5/1 Chapter 5 the SOUTH-WEST Counties East, South and North-West CORK -- KERRY -- West LIMERICK East CORK Cobh -- Spike Island T

    Chapter 5 THE SOUTH-WEST counties East, south and north-west CORK -- KERRY -- west LIMERICK East CORK Cobh -- Spike Island Throughout the eighteenth and nineteenth century, visitors to Ireland from Britain and the Continent were appalled at the poverty of its people, and wondered at this because so much of the land was fertile. There were many reasons for the destitution, so many that Frank O'Connor neatly sidesteps them -- but he is in little doubt of the main reason: ignorance of the true condition of Ireland, on the part of its distant government, because of the difficulties involved in visiting it [1] : Books about a country usually begin with its history. Books about Ireland which do this tend to remain unread. The misunderstandings are too many... Ultimately, perhaps, all the misunderstandings can be traced to sixty miles of salt water which stretches between Britain and Ireland. O'Connor was writing in the 1940s. Mr & Mrs Hall begin their vast, chatty, obsequious (to the English reader) but well-intentioned three-volume Ireland , a hundred years earlier (1841), with a long description of the purgatory of a pre-steam crossing to Cork. They agree with O'Connor [2] : It was not alone the miserable paucity of accommodation and utter indifference to the comfort of the passengers, that made the voyage an intolerable evil. Though it usually occupied but three or four days, frequently as many weeks were expended in making it. It was once our lot to pass a month between the ports of Bristol and Cork; putting back, every now and then, to the wretched village of Pill, and not daring to leave it even for an hour, lest the wind should change and the packet weigh anchor..

His intention was to fill an educational and cultural need unrecognized by commercial publishers. Hogan believed that large numbers of excellent playscripts, written by distinguished authors, were unavailable to the public, small theaters, and classrooms, because they were not commercially attractive to large publishing firms. Hogan, whose areas of scholarly expertise include modern drama and Irish literature, also wished to make the work of Irish literary figures available to both students and audiences in the United States. Although Proscenium Press began publishing in 1965, the Press was not incorporated until 1977, when incorporation became a necessary development in seeking tax exempt status as a nonprofit organization. Proscenium Press was incorporated in the State of Delaware, where Hogan had joined the faculty of the University of Delaware in 1970.

However, a close study of his poems allows the reader to perceive a different version of the poet than his public image suggests. Just like one event can have many versions, the poet with one body can wear many masks that can be conflicting and contradictory. This could be the reason why Brendan Kennelly worked on creating a multifaceted version of Cromwell in his long poem and, to an even greater extent, of Judas in The Book of Judas. If it is not clear how Cromwell could be both a savage murderer and a loving father, it is not clear either how Kennelly, the performing poet and Kennelly the writing poet can be reconciled in his work.

And of Lyra McKee. Acknowledgements Making theatre is usually a collaborative act. To a collaborative artist, writing a dissertation about theatre can feel lonely, unmoored, adrift. But I have had incredible good fortune in researching and writing this work buoyed by my teachers, friends, and family. I am deeply grateful for their support, curiosity, and love. All the scholars who form my committee have provided crucial guidance throughout my coursework and my research. My advisor Charlotte Canning has met my assumptions with challenges, my failings with patience and compassion, and my writing with the insight and rigor of a magnificent scholar, and with the great good humor of a magnificent person. The rest of my committee helped round out the methodological concerns I brought to this project. Paul Bonin-Rodriguez’s perspective on performance practice and the relationships artists have with their governments and communities has been indispensible in my research.

Administrative History 1. Radió Éireann – Raidió Teilifís Éireann On 26 March 1924, a Special Committee on Wireless Broadcasting filed their final report with the government of the Irish Free State, recommending that ‘Broadcasting should be a State service purely’, with its installation and management to be in the hands of the Postal Ministry. ('Wireless Broadcasting Report – final Report of Special Committee', par.6.) The Wireless Telegraphy Act was not passed by the Dáil until November 1926, but in the meantime the ‘Irish Free State Broadcasting Service’ had begun broadcasting on 1 January 1926, as a section of the Department of Posts and Telegraphs.

    Белявский, А.М. 3 – три / А.М. Белявский // Крыніцазнаўства і спецыяльныя гістарычныя дысцыпліны: навук. зб. Вып. 9 / рэдкал.: С. М. Ходзін (адк. рэд.) [і інш.]. – Мн.: БДУ, 2014. – с. 212 – 239. А. М. БЕЛЯВСКИЙ 3 — ТРИ В предложении содержится форма его смысла, но не его содержание. Л. Витгенштейн, «Логикофилософский трактат», 3.13 Предлагается интертекстуальный взгляд на некоторые события войны Ирландии за независимость через призму народной традиции и мемуаров участников в контексте эпо са о Кухулине. Автором предпринята попытка исторической репрезентации как главного выразительного средства, что могло бы расширить интерпретационные возможности чи тателя, выйдя за пределы простого чтения. Читателю предлагается отвлечься от обыден ного восприятия исторического нарратива как текста, воспроизводящего реальные собы тия, и увидеть его как цитирующую саму себя традицию фольклорной памяти. The article proposes an intertextual view on some particular events of the Irish War for Independence in folk tradition and the memoirs of its participants in connection with the Cuchulainn epic cycle. The idea is to explore the possibilities of making the form of the historical representation its main expressive remedy which makes it also suitable for contemplating and calculating along with plain reading. The reader is invited to question the common view of historical narrative as the text reconstructing the actual events and to see it rather as a replication of traditional archetypes in folk memory. Ключевые слова: Ирландия, Англия, война за независимость, летучие колонны, «чер нопегие», Солохедбег, Кевин Барри, Долина Ноканьюр, Кухулин, традиция, мучениче ство, эпос, фольклор, память, интертекстуальность, деконструкция. Keywords: Ireland, England, War for Independence, flying columns, Black and Tans, Soloheadbeg, Kevin Barry, the Valley of Knockanure, Cuchulainn, tradition, martyrdom, epic cycle, folk history, memory, intertextuality, deconstrucrtion.
