CHAPTER 7 Irish Renaissance Kathleen Heininge ritics have several names for the movement that took place in Ireland at the turn of the twentieth century. Each name seems to Csuggest a different interpretation of the events at that time, and each interpretation, in turn, reflects a different idea of Ireland’s relation- ship with the rest of the world. The Irish Revival, a term most often used to discuss the literary movement, implies that the greatness of a people can be resuscitated after it has been nearly lost, and is thus a term in keeping with a nationalist agenda. The Celtic Twilight, a term coined by W. B. Yeats, is a more sentimental and mystical rendering that suggests the illu- mination and reinterpretation of a previously underappreciated culture, and is a term in keeping with the transition from a romanticized concept of tradition to a modernist consciousness.

Provoking Performance: Challenging the People, the State and the Patriarchy in 1980s Irish Theatre Candidate: Patricia O’Beirne Supervisor: Dr. Ian Walsh School: School of Humanities Discipline: Drama and Theatre Studies Institution: National University of Ireland, Galway Submission Date: August 2018 Summary of Contents: Provoking Performance: Challenging the People, the State and the Patriarchy in 1980s Irish Theatre This thesis offers new perspectives and knowledge to the discipline of Irish theatre studies and historiography and addresses an overlooked period of Irish theatre. It aims to investigate playwriting and theatre-making in the Republic of Ireland during the 1980s. Theatre’s response to failures of the Irish state, to the civil war in Northern Ireland, and to feminist and working-class concerns are explored in this thesis; it is as much an exploration of the 1980s as it is of plays and playwrights during the decade. As identified by a literature review, scholarly and critical attention during the 1980s was drawn towards Northern Ireland where playwrights were engaging directly with the conflict in Northern Ireland. This means that proportionally the work of many playwrights in the Republic remains unexamined and unpublished.

  • Cultural Convergence the Dublin Gate Theatre, 1928–1960
    Cultural Convergence The Dublin Gate Theatre, 1928–1960 Edited by Ondřej Pilný · Ruud van den Beuken · Ian R. Walsh Cultural Convergence “This well-organised volume makes a notable contribution to our understanding of Irish theatre studies and Irish modernist studies more broadly. The essays are written by a diverse range of leading scholars who outline the outstanding cultural importance of the Dublin Gate Theatre, both in terms of its national significance and in terms of its function as a hub of international engagement.” —Professor James Moran, University of Nottingham, UK “The consistently outstanding contributions to this illuminating and cohesive collection demonstrate that, for Gate Theatre founders Hilton Edwards and Micheál mac Liammóir and their collaborators, the limits of the imagination lay well beyond Ireland’s borders. Individually and collectively, the contribu- tors to this volume unravel the intricate connections, both personal and artistic, linking the theatre’s directors, designers, and practitioners to Britain, Europe, and beyond; they examine the development and staging of domestic plays written in either English or Irish; and they trace across national boundaries the complex textual and production history of foreign dramas performed in translation. In addition to examining a broad spectrum of intercultural and transnational influ- ences and perspectives, these frequently groundbreaking essays also reveal the extent to which the early Gate Theatre was a cosmopolitan, progressive, and inclusive space that recognized and valued women’s voices and queer forms of expression.” —Professor José Lanters, University of Wisconsin—Milwaukee, USA “Cultural Convergence is a book for which we have been waiting, not just in Irish theatre history, but in Irish cultural studies more widely.

  • Ancient Greek Tragedy and Irish Epic in Modern Irish
    MEMORABLE BARBARITIES AND NATIONAL MYTHS: ANCIENT GREEK TRAGEDY AND IRISH EPIC IN MODERN IRISH THEATRE A Dissertation Submitted to the Graduate School of the University of Notre Dame in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy by Katherine Anne Hennessey, B.A., M.A. ____________________________ Dr. Susan Cannon Harris, Director Graduate Program in English Notre Dame, Indiana March 2008 MEMORABLE BARBARITIES AND NATIONAL MYTHS: ANCIENT GREEK TRAGEDY AND IRISH EPIC IN MODERN IRISH THEATRE Abstract by Katherine Anne Hennessey Over the course of the 20th century, Irish playwrights penned scores of adaptations of Greek tragedy and Irish epic, and this theatrical phenomenon continues to flourish in the 21st century. My dissertation examines the performance history of such adaptations at Dublin’s two flagship theatres: the Abbey, founded in 1904 by W.B. Yeats and Lady Gregory, and the Gate, established in 1928 by Micheál Mac Liammóir and Hilton Edwards. I argue that the potent rivalry between these two theatres is most acutely manifest in their production of these plays, and that in fact these adaptations of ancient literature constitute a “disputed territory” upon which each theatre stakes a claim of artistic and aesthetic preeminence. Partially because of its long-standing claim to the title of Ireland’s “National Theatre,” the Abbey has been the subject of the preponderance of scholarly criticism about the history of Irish theatre, while the Gate has received comparatively scarce academic attention. I contend, however, that the history of the Abbey--and of modern Irish theatre as a whole--cannot be properly understood except in relation to the strikingly different aesthetics practiced at the Gate.

The Center’s First Year Tosnu maith-leath na hoibre (well begun is half-done)! So goes the Irish seanfhocal (proverb) and it comes to mind when we look back over the past year. Nearly 500 students have taken courses in our program and five have already received their Celtic Studies Certificates. We’ve had 52 participants in our Study Abroad programs, including our ‘Saints, Scholars and Scoundrels’ tour. Two of our students (Brian Hart and Aislinn Gagliardi) received Irish Fest scholarships, and put them to good use during their summer studies in Ireland. Twelve of our students spent three glorious weeks in Donegal, learning Irish and studying the unique local culture, some went digging up the Celtic past in Germany. At the end of the academic year, my co-director Bettina Arnold took a well-deserved sabbatical, part of which will be spent developing our relationships in the Celtic regions. We’re all grateful for the tremendous inspiration and Co-directors John Gleeson and leadership she has provided in our first year. While she’s away, Jose Lanters has Jose Lanters kindly stepped in as co-director. Renowned for her scholarship and teaching of Irish literature, Jose currently chairs our Advisory Committee. In late spring, we carried out a successful and groundbreaking experiment in Distance Learning. It involved students and faculty from our program at UWM, and the Irish World Music Centre at U of Limerick. Nancy Walczyk continues to develop our relationship with the University of Limerick.

  • Reflection of Psychic Distemper in the Selected Plays of Osborne
    Mukt Shabd Journal ISSN NO : 2347-3150 Reflection of Psychic Distemper in the Selected plays of Osborne Twishampati Research Scholar in Ranchi University. Abstract: John Osborne was well- known among the members of this ‘Angry’ tradition. Again, Critics blamed the all- too frequent use of the phrase “Angry Young Men”, one which was “employed to a group without so much as an attempt at understanding all those complacency, the idealistic bankruptcy of their environment”(Maschler,Declaration,P.7). Some other important members of the so- called “Angries” were novelists Kingsley Amis and John Wain. Osborne was the most significant figure of this ‘Angry’ movement, if not the outright innovator of the trend. Hayman mentioned “Beckett, Osborne, Pinter and Arden as the four most important talents to emerge in the theatre in the mid- nineteen fifties. Of the four, he ensured, Osborne had the most direct influence on the new movement, in that he did more than anyone to popularise the new type of the hero and the new type of actor” (Hayman, Evening News, quoted in Casebook Series, P.46). Though Osborne only discontentedly allowed to it, one could consider that his play Look Back in Anger first produced in 1956 initiated the “Angry “movement. Again, it is regarded that ‘Angry Young Men’ is new generation of writers appeared on the scene in 1950s Britain. The 1950s decade is remembered as the angry decade. The most famous of them were novelists like John Braine, John Wain and Kingsley Amis and the playwright John Osborne. All of them were the followers of Labour Government.

  • John Osborne
    John Osborne: A Preliminary Inventory of His Papers at the Harry Ransom Humanities Research Center Descriptive Summary Creator: Osborne, John, 1929-1994 Title John Osborne Papers Dates: 1956-1994 Extent 50 boxes, 8 oversize boxes, 3 oversize flat file folders (32.676 linear feet) Abstract: The papers of this British playwright consist of manuscripts of many of his works, correspondence, newspaper and magazine articles, scrapbooks, posters, programs, and business documents. Language English. Access Open for research Administrative Information Acquisition Reg. No. 13432 Processed by Liz Murray, 1995 Repository: Harry Ransom Humanities Research Center, University of Texas at Austin Osborne, John, 1929-1994 Scope and Contents John Osborne's work as a playwright, author, actor, producer, director, and contributor to numerous newspapers and periodicals is represented in this collection, which consists of holograph manuscripts and notebooks, typescripts, page and galley proofs, correspondence, newspaper and magazine articles, scrapbooks, posters, programs, and business documents. The material spans five decades beginning in the mid-1950s just prior to his important play, Look Back in Anger (1956). Credited with launching a dramatic renaissance in Britain, Osborne's literary style is known for its verbal pyrotechnics and repeated themes of anger, defeat, and disillusionment. Osborne's skill at sulphuric prose is also present in his correspondence where passionate beliefs are expressed with eloquent vitriol. Osborne's three books, consisting of two autobiographies and a volume of collected prose; nearly all of his plays dating from his early Look Back in Anger to his last, DéjàVu; significant correspondence; and journalism are well represented in this collection. Frequently, both holograph and typescript material are present for his books, plays, and other writings, providing continuity from conception to publication.
