    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.

This article explores the campaign waged by Irish women against the draft constitution of . A number of articles within the constitution were deemed by women activists to threaten both their rights as citizens and as workers. A campaign, organised principally by the Women Graduates’ Association, the Joint Committee of Women’s Societies and Social Workers, together with the Irish Women Workers’ Union, sought to amend or delete the offending articles. The campaign ran for two months and in that period, feminists, the press, parliamentarians, the Catholic Church and republicans all engaged in the debate about women’s position in Irish society. Irish women, throughout the nineteenth and twentieth centuries, have been politically engaged in nationalist, unionist, social, economic and feminist organisations.

The recent State funeral of Thomas Kent in the churchyard of a North Cork village was a moving event. Yet, the crowds were not grieving a recent loss: Kent had been dead for 99 years: he was shot as a rebel in the aftermath of the 1916 Easter Rising. Almost on the eve of the centenary of the rebellion, his body was coming home, and so was the memory of the Revolution, whose local, almost intimate dimension and its national and international significance were expressed by the unusual congregation at the Mass, combining family members and the village community, with ambassadors, legates, statesmen and the President of the Republic. The event should be celebrated, not only because the Ireland he dreamed of has become a proven success, a democracy which stands up for 'humanity, dignity and hope', as the Taoiseach Enda Kenny said in his funeral oration.1 But also because all nations need from time to time to reaffirm the values and vision which form the positive legacy of their history, which is otherwise often violent and tragic, and not necessarily consistent with democratic ideals.

  • The Diaries of Rosamond Jacob (1888-1960)
    The Diaries of Rosamond Jacob (1888-1960) Rosamond Jacob – Who was she? Rosamond Jacob (1888 – 1960) was of Quaker origin, born in Waterford. Her parents, Henrietta and Louis Jacob, had become agnostic (and perceived as atheist) and nationalist, which caused them to be regarded by some of their extended family as, in Rosamond’s words, ‘impious disreputable relations’.1 As a result, Rosamond let a relatively solitary childhood, and throughout her life her diaries, on various occasions, record her loneliness. She was a writer and a political activist all her life, being involved in the Gaelic League, Sinn Fein, the Irish Women’s Franchise League (IWFL), Cumann na mBan, the Irishwomen’s International League (IIL), the Irish Women Citizen’s and Local Government Association (IWCLGA), the Friends of the Soviet Union, the Women’s Social and Progressive League, the Republican movement and, in the last years of her life, the Campaign for Nuclear Disarmament. Rosamond Jacob’s political involvements, her commitment to women’s rights, her intolerance of organised religion and of cruelty to animals as well as her interest in history and in nature, is reflected in her writings. They also reflect and record the turbulent events of the times she lived through – the division in Irish society and in families, caused first by the events of 1916 and subsequently by the Civil War – and the efforts of the women to try and resolve conflict without further bloodshed. They throw light on an almost forgotten generation of Irish women who made significant contributions to the formation of the independent Irish state and who, in the following decades, campaigned for the liberal principles that had promised so much in the early years of the new state.
