  • Full Text of 'Joyce House' Letter and Signatories
    Full text of ‘Joyce house’ letter and signatories As writers, artists, and scholars of Irish literature and culture, we call upon Josepha Madigan, the Minister for Culture, Heritage and the Gaeltacht, and Owen Keegan, Dublin City Manager, to intervene to save, for the nation and the world, the house at 15 Usher's Island, known to all as Joyce's house of "The Dead", and prevent any deterioration of its fabric. In the decades since Joyce's death, too many of the places that are rendered immortal in his writing have been lost to the city. Let us not repeat this mistake today. 15 Usher's Island is not just another house connected with Joyce. Built in 1775, its upper floors were rented by Joyce's great-aunts in the 1890s and the writer himself often visited them there. Most importantly, it is the setting of "The Dead", widely considered Joyce's and indeed the world's greatest short story. The atmosphere in the house and the way the rooms are configured are mostly untouched since Joyce's time. Turning it into a 56-room hostel would destroy the uniquely valuable interior which still maintains the character of the house so splendidly described in the story. Usher's Island has the potential to become a worthwhile site of literary pilgrimage, a way to inform and inspire new generations of Joyce readers. As we approach the centenary of Ulysses in 2022, we believe that saving this unique piece of our national heritage is within the power of the Government and the national institutions and that it should be an urgent priority.

This fall she will join the English De- partment at Monmouth College, Illinois. Her research has appeared in New Hibernia Review and 19th Century Contexts. She is currently at work on a book that uses a comparative reading of literary history in Poland and Ireland as an entry point into an examination of comparative studies and ways of under- standing the rise of the novel in different parts of the world. An article related to this research, on Jonathan Swift’s Gulliver’s Travels and Ignacy Krasicki’s Adventures of Mr Nicholas Wisdom, appeared in Comparative Literature Studies.

  • Riding Against the Lizard – on the Need for Anger Now
    RIDING AGAINST THE LIZARD – ON THE NEED FOR ANGER NOW AN ESSAY BY WILLIAM WALL © William Wall 2009 First published at www.threemonkeysonline.com This story is licensed under a Creative Commons Deed. Please see copyright details on the last page. RIDING AGAINST THE LIZARD ON THE NEED FOR ANGER NOW ‘Anger is the political sentiment par excellence. It brings out the qualities of the inadmissible, the intolerable. It is a refusal and a resistance that with one step goes beyond all that can be accomplished reasonably in order to open possible paths for a new negotiation of the reasonable but also paths of an uncompromising vigilance. Without anger, politics is accommodation and trade in influence; writing without anger traffics in the seductions of writing.’ Nancy, J-L, The Compearance How should we describe the extraordinary consensus that existed in this country – a consensus that united us all around core concepts like ‘free markets’, ‘competition is the only way’, ‘private enterprise good, public enterprise bad’, ‘social partnership’, ‘entrepreneurship’, ‘greed is good’, ‘conspicuous con- sumption’? For a long time we lived inside a bubble. The walls of the bubble were invisible to us, they coloured everything we looked at but everything was that colour anyway so we thought it was colourless. It was, nonetheless, a bubble. What we hear these days, in the media, in conversations, in political speeches and union negotiations is the pop of the bubble bursting. We are faced with an absolute incon- gruence – between what we have been told and what we see. What this incongruence will tell us remains to be seen, but it makes us strange to ourselves, wakes us from our dream of shopping and eating and enables us to look back at our days in the bubble with at least the illusion of detachment.
