  • Empire, Class, and Religion in Lady Gregory's Dramatic Works
    ‘The Return to the People’: Empire, Class, and Religion in Lady Gregory’s Dramatic Works Thesis submitted in accordance with the requirements of the University of Liverpool for the degree of Doctor in Philosophy by Anna Pilz. July 2013 Anna Pilz University of Liverpool 2013 Abstract ‘The Return to the People’: Empire, Class, and Religion in Lady Gregory’s Dramatic Works Anna Pilz This thesis examines a selection of Lady Gregory’s original dramatic works. Between the opening of the Abbey Theatre in 1904 and the playwright’s death in 1932, Gregory’s plays accounted for the highest number of stage productions in comparison to her co-directors William Butler Yeats and John Millington Synge. As such, this thesis analyses examples ranging from her most well-known and successful pieces, including The Rising of the Moon and The Gaol Gate, to lesser known plays such as The Wrens, The White Cockade, Shanwalla and Dave. With a focus on the historical, bibliographical, and political contexts, the plays are analysed not only with regard to the printed texts, but also in the context of theatrical performances. In order to re-evaluate Gregory’s contribution to the Abbey, this thesis is divided into three chapters dealing with dominant themes throughout her career as a playwright: Empire, class, and religion. Acknowledgements I would like to express my sincerest gratitude to the Institute of Irish Studies, University of Liverpool, for its financial support throughout my postgraduate studies. I am also indebted to the School of Histories, Languages and Cultures and the International Association for the Study of Irish Literatures for their financial assistance in covering travel costs to conferences and archives in the UK and abroad.

The Irish Fireside Club’s teachings reflected the growing cultural nationalist current in Irish society, focusing on the academic study of the Irish language, history, and literature, along with social instruction concerning equality of the sexes, self- su fficiency, independence, and the need for unity to enable social progress. Although the nucleus of the Irish Fireside Club was a newspaper column (attached for most of its lifespan to the Weekly Freeman and spread over half a page at the height of its popularity), essentially self-governing branches of the club sprung up in rural and urban Ireland and abroad, creating a mass child-driven move - ment that would later supply the Gaelic League with several young language enthusiasts who would play crucial roles in the new Ireland of the twentieth century.

  • The Poetics of Cultural Nationalism: Thomas Macdonagh's Literature In
    The online postgraduate journal of the College of Arts, Celtic Studies and Social Sciences The Poetics of Cultural Nationalism: Thomas MacDonagh’s Literature in Ireland (1916) Sara Goek School of History/Digital Arts and Humanities, UCC This article examines Thomas MacDonagh’s book, Literature in Ireland: Studies Irish and Anglo-Irish, published in 1916, as a case study in perspectives on nationalism and identity in Ireland in the early twentieth century. It takes an interdisciplinary approach, assessing the text, which is based on literary criticism and analysis, in the historical context of cultural nationalism. MacDonagh’s legacy has hinged on his participation in the Easter Rising, but popular memory of that event has subsumed the diverse views of its participants into a rigid national narrative. In contrast, this article argues that Literature in Ireland and the ‘Irish mode’ in poetry that it posits present a broader and more inclusive ideal. MacDonagh defines the Irish nation based on shared history and heritage, but acknowledges the consequences of that history, such as the presence of two linguistic traditions, Irish and English. He expresses, on the eve of revolution, the need to look forward and not only back for unity. This book has long been marginalized, when mentioned at all, in both history and literary studies, but the on-going ‘decade of centenaries’ provides an excellent opportunity to reassess its legacy and vision. Though remembered primarily for its political significance, the roots of the Easter Rising of 1916 spread into the rich and varied soil of Irish society and culture at the turn of the twentieth century.

  • Alice Milligan: Republican Tableaux and the Revival Catherine Morris
    FIELD DAY REVIEW 132 Alice Milligan: Republican Tableaux and the Revival Catherine Morris Alice Milligan (1866–1953) was a cultural and political activist who rejected the unionist politics that sustained Ireland’s place within empire to become an internationalist republican. She was a key figure in the formation of the anti-colonial movement from the 1890s and a founding member of the Anti-Partition Council from the 1930s. A prolific writer for over six decades, she published her work in a range of genres (including poetry, short stories, novels, plays, journalism, letters and memoirs). From 1891 to the 1940s, she founded a series of cultural, feminist and political organizations that not only put the North on the map of the Irish Literary Revival but also gave a new resonance to Irish Wood engraving: Cluithcheoirí na hÉireann, Postcard, 1907. visual culture.

  • Sean-Nós Singing and Oireachtas Na Gaeilge
    Sean-nós singing and Oireachtas na Gaeilge: Identity, Romantic Nationalism, and the Agency of the Gaeltacht Community Nexus. Éamonn Seosamh Costello Submitted to the University of Limerick in Fulfilment of the requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy October 2015 Supervisors: Dr. Sandra Joyce, and Dr. Niall Keegan Abstract This thesis examines the relationship between a style of Irish vernacular song, commonly known as sean-nós, and the Oireachtas na Gaeilge festival, Ireland’s oldest arts festival. The Oireachtas is essentially an Irish language festival that was established in 1897, at a time when Romanic nationalism was very much the intellectual zeitgeist throughout Western Europe. As such, the Oireachtas tends to be viewed in the literature as a Romantic nationalist movement. Romantic nationalism is often described as a homogenising ideology, and a number of scholars suggest that the Gaelic revival of the late 19th century, which spawned the Oireachtas, has had a standardising influence on various forms of vernacular Irish cultural expression. Much of the literature that deals with so-called ‘folk-revivalist’ movements, like the Oireachtas festival, frames them as gentrifiers and expropriators of vernacular culture. While this is undoubtedly true in many ways, it is an interpretation that tends to overlook the agency of the so-called ‘folk’ in revival movements. It is also an interpretation that imagines the revival movement and the ‘folk’ as essentially two separate cultural formations. Here I argue that —although initially the Oireachtas exploited and gentrified vernacular Irish language song for its own nationalist agenda— over time vernacular singers increasingly came to have more power within the movement’s membership.
