    “NO ROOM IN HISTORY”: GENRE AND IDENTIY IN BRITISH AND IRISH NATIONAL HISTORIES, 1541-1691 A dissertation presented by Sarah Elizabeth Connell to The Department of English In partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the field of English Northeastern University Boston, Massachusetts April 2014 1 “NO ROOM IN HISTORY”: GENRE AND IDENTIY IN BRITISH AND IRISH NATIONAL HISTORIES, 1541-1691 by Sarah Elizabeth Connell ABSTRACT OF DISSERTATION Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in English in the College of Social Sciences and Humanities of Northeastern University April 2014 2 ABSTRACT In this project, I build on the scholarship that has challenged the historiographic revolution model to question the valorization of the early modern humanist narrative history’s sophistication and historiographic advancement in direct relation to its concerted efforts to shed the purportedly pious, credulous, and naïve materials and methods of medieval history. As I demonstrate, the methodologies available to early modern historians, many of which were developed by medieval chroniclers, were extraordinary flexible, able to meet a large number of scholarly and political needs. I argue that many early modern historians worked with medieval texts and genres not because they had yet to learn more sophisticated models for representing the past, but rather because one of the most effective ways that these writers dealt with the political and religious exigencies of their times was by adapting the practices, genres, and materials of medieval history. I demonstrate that the early modern national history was capable of supporting multiple genres and reading modes; in fact, many of these histories reflect their authors’ conviction that authentic past narratives required genres with varying levels of facticity.

Lon- don/Dublin: Irish Texts Society, Subsidiary Series 26, 2014. xiii, 232 S., ISBN 978-0-95756-612-5. € 21. The medieval Irish saga Buile Shuibhne (‘The Frenzy of Suibhne’, hereinafter BS) has attracted scholars’ attention for over a hundred years. Since thefirst publication of the tale for the Irish Texts Society by J. O’Keeffe in 1913 (reprinted in 1996 with a new introduction by J.F. Nagy), the tale has been subjected to intensive inquiry by Jackson (1940, 1953), Chadwick (1942), Lehmann (1953–4, 1955), Carney (1955), Ó Riain (1974), and more recently, Mac Mathúna (1981), Nagy (1982-3), Carey (1984), Frykenberg (1984), Pehnt (1999), Mikhailova (1999), Slavin (2006), Bergholm (2012) and many others. The volume under review is different from the similar collections published in the Irish Texts Society Subsidiary Series. Firstly, it has been dedicated to the memory of Seamus Heaney, whose untimely departure prevented him from speaking about his own translation of Buile Shuibhne from the Irish language (Heaney 1983). Secondly, “one radical reinterpretation of the figure of the geilt” (p. xii) by Ó Riain (1972), was republished here – “the first time that a volume in this series has thus returned earlier material to print” (ibid.). The first and foremost aspect of the study of any medieval Irish text isthe question of its dating. This problem is the focus of the paper by MáirínNí Dhonnchadha, ‘The Cult of St Moling and the Making of Buile Shuibhne’ (pp. 1– 42), who proposes, in her own words, “a new theory on the making of Buile Shuibhne” (p.

  • Appendixes Appendix A
    APPENDIXES APPENDIX A Yeats's Notes in The Collected Poems, 1933 The Spelling of Gaelic Names In this edition of my poems I have adopted Lady Gregory's spelling of Gaelic names, with, I think, two exceptions. The 'd' of 'Edain' ran too well in my verse for me to adopt her perhaps more correct 'Etain,' and for some reason unknown to me I have always preferred 'Aengus' to her 'Angus.' In her Gods and Fighting Men and Cuchulain of Muirthemne she went as close to the Gaelic spelling as she could without making the names unpro­ nounceable to the average reader.'-1933. Crossways. The Rose (pages 3, 25) Many of the poems in Crossways, certainly those upon Indian subjects or upon shepherds and fauns, must have been written before I was twenty, for from the moment when I began The Wanderings of Oisin, which I did at that age, I believe, my subject-matter became Irish. Every time I have reprinted them I have considered the leaving out of most, and then remem­ bered an old school friend who has some of them by heart, for no better reason, as I think, than that they remind him of his own youth.' The little Indian dramatic scene was meant to be the first scene of a play about a man loved by two women, who had the one soul between them, the one woman waking when the other slept, and knowing but daylight as the other only night. It came into my head when I saw a man at Rosses Point carrying two salmon.

  • Food As 'Motif' in the Irish Song Tradition
    Food as ‘Motif’ in the Irish Song Tradition Máirtín Mac Con Iomaire, Dublin Institute of Technology The beef and the beer of the Saxon may build up good, strong hefty men; The Scot goes for haggis and porridge and likes a ‘wee drap’ now and then; The German may spice up a sausage that’s fit for great Kaisers and Queens, But the Irishman’s dish is my darling – a flitch of boiled bacon and greens. They laughed at the pig in the kitchen when Ireland lay groaning in chains, But the pig paid the rent, so no wonder our ‘smack’ for his breed still remains, And what has a taste so delicious as ‘griskins’ and juicy ‘crubeens’, And what gives health, strength and beauty like bacon, potatoes and greens? Background The above song ‘Bacon and Greens’ was written by Con O’Brien and first appeared in print in September 1930 in the Cork Weekly Examiner. This Irish love affair with pig meat was still evident in Pat Short’s chart topping 2006 song ‘The Jumbo Breakfast Roll’ which describes the Celtic Tiger phenomenon of wrapping the components of the cooked Irish breakfast in a half baguette for consumption by cash-rich, time-poor citizens. These same ingredients (bacon, sausages, black pudding etc.) form part of the popular all-day Irish meal known as a ‘mixed grill’ described so evocatively in the writings John McGahern (Maher 2014). Considering the primacy of food in people’s lives generally throughout history, it is logical that food be reflected in their songs and poetry.

  • The Political Commitment in the Poetry of Seamus Heaney
    THE UNIVERSITY OF HULL "PROTECTIVE COLOURING" - THE POLITICAL COMMITMENT IN THE POETRY OF SEAMUS HEANEY BEING A THESIS SUBMITTED FOR THE DEGREE OF DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY IN THE UNIVERSITY OF HULL BY ALAIN THOMAS YVON SINNER, BA APRIL 1988 PREFACE I came to Heaney's poetry through FIELD WORK, which I read for a seminar on contemporary British poetry when I was studying English at the University of Hull. At the time I knew nothing whatsoever about post-Yeatsian Irish poetry and so I was agreeably surprised by the quality of Heaney's work. Initially, it was not so much the contents of his poems, but the rhythms, the sound patterns, the physical immediacy of his poetry which I admired most. Accordingly, I concentrated on Heaney's nature and love poems. His political verse requires the reader to be more or less well informed about what was and still is going on in Northern Ireland and it was only gradually that I acquired such knowledge. After FIELD WORK, I read the SELECTED POEMS 1965-1975 and they became a kind of journey through the diverse aspects of Heaney's multi-faceted work. In the course of six years' research on Heaney I have come to study other poets from Ulster as well and, though I still feel that Heaney is the most promising talent, it seems to me that Ireland is once again making a considerable contribution to English literature. Heaney is definitely on his way to becoming a major poet. The relevance of his work is not limited to the Irish context; he has something to say to ENGLISH ' ********************************************************* 1 1 A1-1-i 1988 Summary of Thesis submitted for PhD degree by Alain T.Y.

  • Irish Literature Between Nationalism and Modernism. (2017) Directed by Dr
    BALDWIN, KARA, Ph.D. Democratic Experiments: Irish Literature between Nationalism and Modernism. (2017) Directed by Dr. Ben Clarke. 201 pp. The purpose of this research is to examine how Irish literature acts democratically to represent individuals in relation to each other, the nation, and the British Empire. As Ireland’s political system shifted from colony to commonwealth to independent republic, literature helped shape national identity and individual agency. By analyzing literary contributions in Ireland throughout its political transformation, this dissertation reveals the progress and limitations of political and literary attempts to write agency. In its study of agency and concepts of representation, this analysis relies on theoretical concepts developed in postcolonial and cultural studies, specifically those developed by Gayatri Chakravorty Spivak and Jacque Rancière. Their explanations of representation and the demos are placed into conversation with texts that take part in developing identity and agency in Irish literature, including works of the Celtic Revival, James Joyce’s A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man, and Flann O’Brien’s At Swim- Two-Birds. Each of these literary texts is examined to identity how they take part in creating – and limiting – democratic agency. While great strides are made in furthering democratic agency by each of these literary texts, this research reveals that individual agency in relation to the nation is complicated. Even so, Flann O’Brien’s novel provides an alternative concept of how democratic agency for individuals can happen in relation to each other and how politics can learn from the dissonance of democratic voices.
