  • The Muriel Matters Society Epistle
    The Muriel Matters Proudly supported by: Society Epistle No: 16 (October 2012) Hello Members and Friends! Our next event will be to commemorate the 104th Anniversary of The Grille Protest on Sunday, 4 November, 2012 from 1.00pm to 3.00pm at MRC/Lions Community Centre, 23 Coglin Street, Adelaide 5000 (located between Gouger and Wright Streets, near Central Market). RSVP (helpful!) to 0437 656 700 or [email protected]. Mr Ron Potts, a highly regarded speaker, has kindly agreed to bring along his ‘magic lantern’ and address us on the history of the ‘kinematograph’ - the technology Muriel brought with her to Australia to ‘vividly illustrate with pictures’ her lectures during the 1910 Tour to Perth, Adelaide, Melbourne and Sydney. Accompanied by her great friend, Violet Tillard, (who may have operated the lantern), the tour informed her eager audiences about her adventures in England, assisting British women to secure the franchise. The secrets of ‘magic lantern’ operation will be revealed!! An event – like the original – not to be missed! (Invitations have already been emailed to members who have supplied their email address. If you didn’t receive an email, and have access to email, please advise your email address asap. Newsletters can then also be emailed. Thanks!) Memberships Due: for those yet to renew, payments can be made at the meeting or by cheque or direct bank transfer via the form enclosed. Please remember - your subs keep Muriel projects happening – thank you! UK News The recent London Olympic Opening Ceremony did feature a vignette on suffrage. Women and girls, in Edwardian costume, carried a suffrage banner in the segment choreographed by Australian Danny Boyle, while the story of the struggle for Votes for Women was narrated by Sir Kenneth Branagh.

  • Francis Sheehy-Skeffington, in Dark and Evil Days (1916), with a Biographical Preface by Hanna Sheehy-Skeffington; Richard Ellmann, James Joyce (1982, Rev
    Skeffington, Francis Sheehy- by Patrick Maume Skeffington, Francis Sheehy- (1878–1916), radical, was born Francis Skeffington on 23 December 1878, in Bailieborough, Co. Cavan, only child of Joseph Bartholomew Skeffington, inspector of schools, and his wife Rose Magorian. He was brought up in Downpatrick, Co. Down. Educated privately by his father, he was emotionally closer to his mother, who came from a poor farming family and was eighteen years older than the forceful husband whose condescension she endured. J. B. Skeffington believed education, logic and discipline solved all problems and his son brought these characteristics into conflict with some of his father's beliefs. From the age of 11, W. T. Stead's Review of Reviews became the boy's ‘bible’. Through Stead he adopted J. S. Mill's feminism and the belief that women's suffrage was vital for the triumph of social reform and public probity. Many of his opinions and exhibitionist tactics derive from Stead, who perished in 1912 on the Titanic. Skeffington studied modern languages at UCD from 1896 to 1902, graduating BA (1900) and MA (1902). He arrived in college as a non-smoking teetotaller, vegetarian and anti-vivisectionist, pacifist and feminist. His non-conformity was marked by his refusal to shave and distinctive garb, a rough tweed suit with knee-breeches, a collarless shirt, long stockings and large boots. College contemporaries were amused and intimidated by his tendency to take casual remarks as expressions of heartfelt opinion, engaging the speaker in fierce argument or pressing him to defend his views in public. Skeffington took a leading role in reviving the college Literary and Historical Society, becoming auditor for 1897–8, having beaten James Fitzgerald-Kenney (qv) by one vote.

  • Cumann Na Mban: During the Easter Rising
    Cumann na mBan: During the Easter Rising Dylan Savoie Junior Division Individual Documentary Process Paper: 500 words Once I learned about National History Day, I immediately wanted to do something related to my Irish heritage seeing as my mother was born in Ireland. In my research, I found the Easter Rising. Now that I had narrowed my selection down, I began to dig deeper, and I came across an Irish women's group, Cumann na mBan, that helped greatly in the Rising but has gone largely unnoticed in history. I tried to have a wide range of research. First, I began by searching for a video about Cumann na mBan. I had found an RTE documentary on the Easter Rising of 1916. It was in that documentary that I came across Fr. Oliver Rafferty, a professor at Boston College. I was able to obtain his email address, contact him, and we had a phone interview. I searched websites and books at my local and Boston Public Library, taking notes and citing them in Noodletools as I went. The Burns Library at Boston College has the most extensive Irish History collection outside of Ireland, so in January, I went there too and was able to obtain many primary sources. In February, I went to Boston College and interviewed Fr. Rafferty in person. I was able to talk with him and combine what I had learned in my research to understand my topic in more depth than I had before. After I collected my research, I decided that my project would be best represented in the form of a documentary.

O’DEA submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy August 2014 © copyright by DATHALINN M. O’DEA 2014 Abstract THE AFTERLIVES OF THE IRISH LITERARY REVIVAL Director: Dr. Marjorie Howes, Boston College Readers: Dr. Paige Reynolds, College of the Holy Cross and Dr. Christopher Wilson, Boston College This study examines how Irish and American writing from the early twentieth century demonstrates a continued engagement with the formal, thematic and cultural imperatives of the Irish Literary Revival. It brings together writers and intellectuals from across Ireland and the United States – including James Joyce, George William Russell (Æ), Alice Milligan, Lewis Purcell, Lady Gregory, the Fugitive-Agrarian poets, W. B. Yeats, Harriet Monroe, Alice Corbin Henderson, and Ezra Pound – whose work registers the movement’s impact via imitation, homage, adaptation, appropriation, repudiation or some combination of these practices. Individual chapters read Irish and American writing from the period in the little magazines and literary journals where it first appeared, using these publications to give a material form to the larger, cross-national web of ideas and readers that linked distant regions.
