  • No Man Is an Ireland”
    1 “NO MAN IS AN IRELAND” “I know histhry isn’t thrue, Hinnissy, because it ain’t like what I see ivry day in Halsted Street. If any wan comes along with a histhry iv Greece or Rome that’ll show me th’ people fightin’, gettin’ dhrunk, makin’ love, gettin’ married, owin’ th’ grocery man an’ bein’ without hard coal, I’ll believe they was a Greece or Rome, but not befur.” — Dunne, Finley Peter, OBSERVATIONS BY MR. DOOLEY, New York, 1902 Karl Marx would express, in his THE CIVIL WAR IN FRANCE, 1848-1850, the sentiment that “The origin of states gets lost in a myth, in which one may believe, but which one may not discuss.” On the 1st page of Theodore W. Allen’s introduction to his 1st volume,2 this independent scholar asks our “indulgence for only one assumption, namely, that while some people may desire to be masters, all persons are born equally unwilling and unsuited to be slaves.” I find that remark remarkable indeed! When in our Declaration of Independence we said to ourselves “All men are created equal,” we were of course writing as lawyers and in a lawyerly manner. We were purposing to level others, such as those overweening overbred British aristocrats, down to our own lay level, but meanwhile it was no part of our purpose to level others, such as our wives and slaves, up to our own exalted situation —we were doing this to benefit ourselves at the expense of others, and not doing this for the benefit of others.

Introduction A Royal Mess It is the year 72 AD, and Ériu, the heroic land of Ireland, is in pain. A few generations ago, raids and wars engulfed the island. The skilled warriors of the "noble" tribes, most notably the mighty Cú Chulainn, fought epic battles. All eventually perished, robbing the land of its heroes. In this vacuum, the downtrodden "base" tribes sought to reverse the ancient order by staging two violent revolts.

GARDNER HITT, 37 GEORGE STREET LONDON : MARSHALL BROTHERS, 10 PATERNOSTER ROW 1908 PREFACE The larger portion of the following compilation was read to the Glasgow Bankers' Debating and Literary Society in December last, and has been allowed to retain much of its original form, with the addition of some explanatory notes, where these seemed necessary. The previous month of September had been spent at Ledaig, near Oban, where, as a holiday task, the writer learned something of the history of the clan commemorated in the neighbouring vitrified Fort of the Sons of Uisneach. Subsequent research showed how widely their story was known to Celtic scholarship, and in what various forms it had already been published. To the general reader, however, as ignorant of Gaelic as the present writer, the story may serve as an introduction to the comparatively unknown, but wonderfully interesting, field of ancient Celtic literature, and it is to the general reader alone that these notes are now offered.

From " The Maliing of Ireland."] [Frontispiece 4 HISTORY OF THE IRISH STATE TO I o 1 BY ALICE STOPFORD GREEN MACMILLAN AND CO., LIMITED ST. MARTIN'S STREET, LONDON 1925 COPYRIGHT /T% PRINTED IN GREAT BRITAIN PREFACE In this book I have brought together scattered frag- ments of early history, and thus attempted to construct for the first time a continuous and reasonable account of the Irish commonwealth down to the death of its greatest leader Brian Boru. In past times I spent many years in preparing a history of mediaeval Ireland, and endeavouring to divest myself of prejudice and ignorance. I finally realized that no such history could be rightly written until the con- ditions of Ireland itself were investigated, as revealed in the native sources, sagas, poems, annals, genealogies, and the like, which are the State Papers on the Irish side, and need as serious study as the English State Papers. " I therefore put together in " The Making of Ireland some fragments of what I had written, and set aside the mass of the rest, to make a new beginning. The last half-dozen years have been entirely devoted to this task. It was a task apparently hopeless. Nor could it have been undertaken without the aid of Dr. Eoin MacNeill, our leading guide in Old Irish history.

  • Donn, Amairgen, Íth and the Prehistory of Irish Pseudohistory
    Donn, Amairgen, Íth and the Prehistory of Irish Pseudohistory John Carey National University of Ireland, Cork [email protected] Although it is increasingly generally recognised that much of the narrative of Irish legendary history, including its overall framework, is to be understood in terms of Latin sources and imported concepts, this does not exclude the possibility that some elements within the scheme have an older, indigenous background. This paper focuses on three key figures in the account of the Gaelic settlement of Ireland - the brothers Donn and Amairgen, and their kinsman Íth - arguing that they reflect ancient origin myths with significant analogues elsewhere in Indo- European tradition. Writing in the year 1919, Kuno Meyer concluded his criticism of various points in Arbois de Jubainville’s 1884 book Le cycle mythologique irlandais with a sweeping dismissal of that study’s approach to the Middle Irish treatise known as Lebor Gabála, the work which provided medieval Ireland with the most influential account of its legendary history:1 ...Unfortunately, a great part of Arbois’ book is built upon similarly inexact interpretations - above all, however, on the aforementioned mistaken view that the story-telling (Fabeleien) of early Irish scholars is always somehow based on native saga and tradition. Thus he already refers in the first chapter, for example, to the content of Lebor Gabála as ‘the Irish mythological cycle’, and without more ado proposes comparisons with Hesiod’s Theogony. The days when this fabrication (Machwerk) was regarded as the prehistory of Ireland are, it is to be hoped, gone for good; but it it also time to stop using it, without qualification, as a mine of Irish mythology and legendary history.
