    The Life and Works of Beatrice Elvery, 1881-1920

    Nationalism, Motherhood, and Activism: The Life and Works of Beatrice Elvery, 1881-1920 Melissa S. Bowen A Thesis Submitted to the Department of History California State University Bakersfield In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Master of Arts in History May 2015 Copyright By Melissa S. Bowen 2015 Acknowledgments I am incredibly grateful for the encouragement and support of Cal State Bakersfield’s History Department faculty, who as a group worked closely with me in preparing me for this fruitful endeavor. I am most grateful to my advisor, Cliona Murphy, whose positive enthusiasm, never- ending generosity, and infinite wisdom on Irish History made this project worthwhile and enjoyable. I would not have been able to put as much primary research into this project as I did without the generous scholarship awarded to me by Cal State Bakersfield’s GRASP office, which allowed me to travel to Ireland and study Beatrice Elvery’s work first hand. I am also grateful to the scholars and professionals who helped me with my research such as Dr. Stephanie Rains, Dr. Nicola Gordon Bowe, and Rector John Tanner. Lastly, my research would not nearly have been as extensive if it were not for my hosts while in Ireland, Brian Murphy, Miriam O’Brien, and Angela Lawlor, who all welcomed me into their homes, filled me with delicious Irish food, and guided me throughout the country during my entire trip.

    The 1916 Rising and County Wexford Introduction The 1916 Rising and County Wexford pack is an introduction to County Wexford’s contribution to the uprising of that year. It offers information on many aspects: causes and context, a timeline of events, the aftermath, profiles of some local leaders, the role of women, and arts and literature inspired by the Rising, among others. Extracts from original documents of the period - letters, newspaper accounts, and witness statements are included. The selection provides a flavour of life in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries in Ireland and in County Wexford. It is intended to encourage and enable students to embark on further study. The pack includes references for all sources quoted and offers guidance to sources and resources for further research. The 1916 Rising and County Wexford pack cannot and does not attempt to tell the story of the Rising in its entirety. Rather, it introduces the reader to the wealth of information available in primary sources - an essential starting point for all reliable research- and in books, websites and other e-sources. The pack focuses in particular on local supports - the materials in the Wexford Studies Collections located on the top floor of the County Library in Mallin St., Wexford town, and in the Wexford County Archive collections in Ardcavan, Wexford. While every effort is made here to offer as current a resource as possible, you are directed also to the Council’s website for the 2016 Commemorations, www.enniscorthy1916.ie which will be updated beyond the print date of this publication.

    Gaelic Revival, Irish Rising

    Journal of the British Academy, 4, 137–168. DOI 10.5871/jba/004.137 Posted 15 September 2016. © The British Academy 2016 Cúchulain in the General Post Office: Gaelic revival, Irish rising Sir John Rhyˆs Memorial Lecture read 22 March 2016 JOEP LEERSSEN University of Amsterdam Abstract: This article looks at the importance of the Gaelic language for the develop- ment of Irish nationalism in the decades leading up to, and following the Easter Rising of 1916. This importance was mainly symbolical: the Irish language was used mainly by revivalist activists, in a restricted number of functional registers, and largely as an enabling platform of other consciousness-raising activities. It is suggested, however, that such a symbolical instrumentalisation is by no means inconsequential and should be analysed as an important feature of cultural nationalism, not only in Irish history. Keywords: Irish language, cultural nationalism, Irish nationalism, Irish history, language revival BACK AND FORTH ACROSS THE TIME-FRAME: FILIATIONS AND AFFILIATIONS In 1914, James Joyce published his story collection Dubliners. The closing story, ‘The Dead’, evokes a post-Christmas party in early 1904. In the course of the evening, the young journalist Gabriel Conroy sees his plans for the future overwhelmed by the shadow of a resurrected past: his wife’s resurging memories of a dead childhood romance in Galway. Part of the festive gathering is a Gaelic language activist, Miss Ivors, who denounces Conroy’s Edwardian cosmopolitanism and urges him to turn to his own country instead. — O, Mr Conroy, will you come for an excursion to the Aran Isles this summer? We’re going to stay there a whole month.

    Ethnologie Cultural identity represented: Celticness in Ireland Inaugural-Dissertation zur Erlangung des Doktorgrades der Philosophischen Fakultät der Westfälischen Wilhelms-Universität zu Münster (Westf.) vorgelegt von Sabine Hezel aus Oberhausen 2006 Tag des Abschlusses: 16.11.2006 Dekan: Univ.-Prof. Dr. Dr. Wichard Woyke Referent: Univ.-Prof. Dr. Josephus D.M. Platenkamp Korreferent: Univ.-Prof. Dr. Andreas Hartmann Acknowledgements I would like to express my thanks to all the people in Ireland who gave me valuable assistance in the researching of this thesis. First of all I want to thank Ann Tighe and Claire Sheridan. Without their friendship and help in distributing questionnaires and introducing me to a number of people, my stay in Galway would have been a lot less informative (and less pleasant). Thanks also to all the people who filled out questionnaires and were willing to give interviews. I am especially grateful for the opportunity to work in my own office, which was provided by the Department of Political Science and Sociology of the National University Ireland, Galway, and the help that was provided by Dr. Niall O Dochartaigh. Special thanks also to my PhD tutor Prof. Dr. J. Platenkamp. His continually constructive and helpful critique substantially contributed to the completion of this thesis. But above all my thanks go to Dave Hegarty. His love, patience and understanding were an inexhaustible source for strength and support. Ohne die Hilfe meiner Eltern, Anne und Johann Hezel, wäre es mir nicht möglich gewesen, ein Jahr in Irland zu verbringen. Ihnen gilt daher mein ganz besonderer Dank. Ohne ihr stets wohlwollendes Verständnis und ihre Unterstützung wäre diese Arbeit nicht zustande gekommen.

  • ABSTRACT POLITICS and PAINT: MURALS, MEMORY, and ARCHIVES in NORTHERN IRELAND, 1968-1998 by William H. London a Unique Artistic

    ABSTRACT POLITICS AND PAINT: MURALS, MEMORY, AND ARCHIVES IN NORTHERN IRELAND, 1968-1998 by William H. London A unique artistic development that arose out of the ethno-political conflict that afflicted Northern Ireland from 1968 to 1998, known as “the Troubles”, was the production of political wall murals. These murals, painted on walls, gable ends, and other conspicuous spaces in communities functioned as much more than graffiti. Rather, they engaged with communal conceptions of past, present, and future in Northern Ireland to create narratives of history that were relative to the experiences and points of view of the communities in which they were painted. In this way, current experiences from both sides of the conflict could be archived visually and placed in a continuum with other defining historical events of the community. Through the examination of these murals using methodologies developed for the interpretation of visual sources, this papers seeks to explore these narratives and the connections to the past that they rely on to convey their messages. By exploring the social, economic, and political backgrounds to these images, the reader will explore the deeper meanings behind the murals and their connections to the surrounding communities.
