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.

    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.

  • A Poetics of Ghosting in Contemporary Irish and Northern Irish Drama
    A Poetics of Ghosting in Contemporary Irish and Northern Irish Drama A DISSERTATION SUBMITTED TO THE FACULTY OF THE GRADUATE SCHOOL OF THE UNIVERSITY OF MINNESOTA BY Mary Katherine Martinovich IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY Dr. Margaret Werry Advisor April 2012 © Kay Martinovich, April 2012 ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS My sincerest gratitude must be extended to those people who were with me as I traveled on this extraordinary journey of writing about Ireland’s ghosts. To my advisor, Margaret Werry: for her persistent support that was also a source of inspiration as I revised and refined every step of the way. She was the colleague in my corner (reading draft upon draft) as well as the editor extraordinaire who taught me so much about the process itself. She offered unyielding guidance with great wisdom, clarity, and compassion. Go raibh míle maith agat as chuile shórt. Tá tú ar fheabhas! To my committee members Michal Kobialka, Sonja Kuftinec, and Mary Trotter: Michal gave me an incredible piece of encouragement just when I needed it – I thank him for his insightful feedback and commitment to my project. Sonja’s positive spirit also energized me at just the right time. Her comments were always invaluable and oh so supportive – I thank her profusely. From the beginning, Mary has been an enthusiastic advocate for me and for my work. With her vast knowledge of Irish theatre, I have been quite fortunate to have her on my side – my heartfelt thanks to her.

  • Hibernicis Ipsis Hibeniores John Ryan Note on the Introduction of Surnames
    Hibernicis ipsis Hibeniores John Ryan Note on the Introduction of Surnames. It is probable that in very early times, in Ireland as elsewhere, one name only was borne. A man would be distinguished by a soubriquet—Nuadu Airgetlam, “ Nuadu of the Silver Hand” ; Cuscraid Menn, “ Cuscraid the Stammerer” ; or by a patronymic : Curoi mac Daire, “ Curoi son of Daire” ; Cormac mac Airt, “ Cormac son of Art,” etc. From the beginning of Christianity or earlier, to about A.D. 700, another system was common in Ireland. This consisted in prefixing moccu (a word whose derivation is unknown) to a sept name, e.g., Dubthech moccu Lugáir (one of St. Patrick’s first con- verts) ; Miliucc moccu Buain (St. Patrick’s master) ; Muirchu moccu Mactheni (his biographer). After 700 the older system—mac, “ son,” in its literal sense, and descriptive epithets added to personal names—seems to have been revived, and to have prevailed until the new surnames were introduced more than two centuries later. These arose when the son (mac) or the grandson (ó,alsoin the alternat-ive form ua since the seventh century) adopted as his distinguishing appellation the name of the pro-genitor to whom he bore that relation, whilst descendants henceforth kept the same term, though in fact neither sons nor grandsons of the persons whose names they bore. Thus Mac Cárthaigh (from Cárthach, who died in 1045), O Néill (from Niall Glundubh, died 919), O Briain (from Brian Bórumha, died 1014). A short list of the leading families in the different states may here be given :— Ailech.—Cenél Eoghain ; O Lochlainn or Mac Lochlainn (chief family to 1241) ; O Néill (chief family after 1241).

    Iris Chuimhneacháin 1916 -1966 Commemorative Journal 1916 -1966 Written and edited by an Bráthair A.P. Caomhánach (1966) Translated by Mr. Tim Quinlan (2016) 2 | P a g e St Joseph’s Marino: 1916 – 1966 Commemorative Magazine Written by An Bráthair A.P. Caomhánach, translated by Mr. T. Quinlan This translation is published in PDF format, 23/04/2016. Original text was written in Irish Gaelic by Rev. Bro A.P. Caomhánach, C.F.C., 1966. This translation by Mr Tim Quinlan, Teacher, St Joseph’s Secondary School, Fairview, April, 2016 Proof Reader: Mr. Conor O’Reilly. 3 | P a g e Translator’s Introduction1 As the centenary celebrations of the Easter Rising drew ever nearer, most schools - especially those in Dublin, the focal point of the Insurrection - that were more than one hundred years old and which might have had past pupils involved in that struggle started to research their past. In exploring our history of this momentous time, we discovered one amazing gem, namely a fifty year anniversary book published by the school in 1966 to commemorate its past pupils who were involved in The Rising. The magazine in question was edited, and written almost entirely, by one of the then staff, Rev. Br. A.P. Kavanagh, known mainly by the Irish version of his name as an Bráthair Aodh Placidus Caomhánach. As this commemorative account was written entirely in the Gaelic, it occurred to us that a translation of this work would be one fitting way to commemorate the Easter Rising as well as capturing the more republican feelings and atmosphere of the then less than fifty year old state.
