Franco-Irish Translation Relationships in Nineteenth-Century Ireland Found in Translation: Franco-Irish Translation Relationships in Nineteenth-Century Ireland Michèle Milan, M.A. Dissertation submitted for the Award of the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy Dublin City University School of Applied Language and Intercultural Studies Under the supervision of Professor Michael Cronin January 2013 I hereby certify that this material, which I now submit for assessment on the programme of study leading to the award of Doctor of Philosophy is entirely my own work, and that I have exercised reasonable care to ensure that the work is original, and does not to the best of my knowledge breach any law of copyright, and has not been taken from the work of others save and to the extent that such work has been cited and acknowledged within the text of my work. Signed: ID Nº: 57211339 Date: 13/01/2013 i Acknowledgments First, I would like to record my thanks to my supervisor, Prof. Michael Cronin, for creating such an admirable and congenial project in the first place and for giving me the chance to come on board, as well as for his stimulating guidance and criticism. I am also grateful to the following people: Sharon O’Brien, who originally made me aware of this project, as well as all the encouraging staff at SALIS and CTTS, particularly Eithne O’Connell and Dorothy Kenny, who, back in 2006-2007, advised and helped me access the M.A. course in Translation Studies at DCU. On this note, I owe a special debt to Mary Moloney, at Ennis Welfare office, who, against all odds, kindly helped me get to DCU in the first place back in 2007. I would like to thank those who made the funding of my studies possible, notably the HEA's Programme for Research in Third Level Institutions (PRTLI) and the team of An Foras Feasa, who also gave me the chance to attend a course at Pisa University. Special thanks to Jonny Hobson at DCU’s Graduate Studies Office, who was always so helpful in times of ‘crisis’. I am also especially grateful to the following: my very lovely student friends at DCU, whom I cannot name for fear I may forget someone, all my other friends and staff met during this research – at SPD, the NLI, Maynooth –, my friends back in North Clare, England, and elsewhere in the world, whom I have indeed missed so much, and my long-lost friends back in Brittany. A special thanks to my physiotherapist Catherine for her solid advice and her great kindness, to the staff at the NLI, Central Catholic Library (Theresa for her good advice, and the keepers for the cups of tea and biscuits), David and staff at MDI library, and Simon and Helen at the EPB department, TCD. Oddly enough, I would like to spare a thought for these people who have been the focus of my research, and who, in spirit, have been somewhat present throughout these last few years, eliciting a lot of human emotion, spirituality, sadness, but also great laughter. I am also grateful to the deeper forces in this universe which gave me the chance and the power to pursue and complete this project. Above all, I cannot even thank enough my parents for their unconditional love and without the support of whom I could have not carried this out. This work is dedicated to them. I also extend my thanks to my six siblings, particularly my two sisters. I apologize to everyone for not having kept in touch as I should have had, and want to ensure them that it is not from a lack of love. ii Key to Abbreviations Abbreviations used throughout the thesis are generally close to standard abbreviations.

Yet, the role played by translation and translators has been largely neglected as a contribution to this relationship and to Hiberno- French cultural developments. This doctoral research on Franco-Irish translation relationships in nineteenth-century Ireland aims at redressing this omission, thereby supporting the idea that translation history is a useful tool for widening and adjusting our perspective on past cultural exchanges. Through the lens of translation, the present study underlines some of the key political and cultural debates in nineteenth-century Ireland, shedding light on the contribution of Ireland’s agents of translation to these debates. In addition to conceptual underpinnings drawn from the field of translation studies, and with particular attention paid to historical context, this research aims at showing key aspects of French-Irish cultural interaction in the nineteenth century. In this regard, it is situated at an interdisciplinary crossroads between the fields of translation studies, history and Franco-Irish studies, highlighting the contribution which translation history can make to each of these disciplines. Chapter 1 presents an outline of research methods and conceptual methodology. Chapter 2 provides an overview of the historical and contextual backgrounds to the Franco-Irish relationship and to translation in nineteenth-century Ireland. Chapters 3 to 6 present the overall findings of this research. Largely based on an investigation of Ireland’s translation holdings, as well as surviving materials such as periodicals and catalogues, these chapters map out the translation landscape and offer an analysis of sociohistorical trends in nineteenth- century translation of French writing in Ireland. Chapter 7 introduces a key moment of the Franco-Irish relationship in the nineteenth century. It draws attention to English-language translations by Irish translators from the French of Béranger, a songwriter who indeed emerged as one of the most significant figures. Lastly, an overall conclusion summarizes the main aspects of both analyses, and highlights the achievements of this research. vi Table of Contents Introduction .............................................................................................................................. 1 Chapter One: Methodology .................................................................................................... 8 1.1 Conceptual Framework ....................................................................................................... 8 1.1.1 Translation History, Context and Agency ............................................................................................. 8 1.1.2 Interconnecting Macro- and Microhistory ......................................................................................... 12 1.1.3 Working Definitions ........................................................................................................................... 13 1.2 Methods .......................................................................................................................... 15 1.2.1 General Survey ................................................................................................................................... 16 1.2.2 Béranger Survey ................................................................................................................................. 18 Chapter Two: History and Contexts .................................................................................... 20 2.1 A Historical Overview of the Franco-Irish Relationship in the Nineteenth Century .............. 20 2.1.1

A voracious collector of Diderot and his circle, he had an eye for the exceptional and the esoteric, eagerly pursuing little known works, interesting provenances and unusual bindings alongside the masterpieces of the philosophes. This catalogue presents a selection of these books, the often outlandish and eccentric publications that formed the backdrop to the great philosophical upheaval of the Age of Enlightenment. The majority of books in this catalogue are ‘les petits textes du XVIIIe siècle’: the forbidden best-sellers, the books by and about women, the forgotten sallies against the ancien régime, the libertine novels and fairy tales (some ‘très libres’), the ‘self-help’ titles and many curious and little known ‘livres facétieux et galants’. Alongside great works by Diderot, Voltaire and Rousseau are lesser known titles by Restif, Mirabeau, La Mettrie, Sylvain Maréchal and the comte de Caylus.

    Marquette University e-Publications@Marquette English Faculty Research and Publications English, Department of 1-1-2012 Obsessing about the Catholic Other: Religion and the Secularization Process in Gothic Literature Diane Hoeveler Marquette University, [email protected] Published version. "Obsessing about the Catholic Other: Religion and the Secularization Process in Gothic Literature," in L'obsession à l'œuvre: littérature, cinéma et société en Grande-Bretagne. Eds. Jean- François Baiollon and Paul Veyret. Bourdeaux: CLIMAS, 2012: 15-32. Publisher Link. © 2012 CLIMAS. Used with permission. Obsessing about the Catholic Other: Religion and the Secularization Process in Gothic Literature Perhaps it was totally predictable that the past year has seen both the publication of a major book by Lennard Davis entitled Obsession!, as well as a new two player board game called "Obsession" in which one player wins by moving his ten rings along numbered slots. Interest in obsession, it would seem, is everywhere in high and low cultures. For Davis, obsession is both a cultural manifestation of what modernity has wrought, and a psychoanalytical phenomenon: in fact, he defines it as a recurring thought whose content has become disconnected from its original significance causing the dominance of repetitive mental intrusions (Davis 6). Recent studies have revealed that there are five broad categories of obsession: dirt and contamination, aggression, the placing of inanimate objects in order, sex, and finally religion2 Another recent study, however, claims that obsessive thoughts generally center on three main themes: the aggressive, the sexual, or the blasphemous (qtd. Davis 9). It is that last category - the blasphemous - that I think emerges in British gothic literature of the late eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries, particularly as seen in the persistent anti-Catholicism that plays such a central role in so many of those works (Radcliffe's The italian, Lewis's The Monk, and Maturin's Melmoth the Wanderer being only the most obvious).

  • The Discovery of Alsatian Space in the Regionalist Art Historiography Of
    ACTA UNIVERSITATIS SAPIENTIAE, PHILOLOGICA, 5, 2 (2013) 241–254 DOI: 10.2478/ausp-2014-0017 The Discovery of Alsatian Space in the Regionalist Art Historiography of the First Half of the 20th Century Valentin TRIFESCU BabeŊ–Bolyai University, Cluj-Napoca Strasbourg University [email protected] Abstract. Our paper tries to analyse the way in which the regional identity of art historiography in Alsace came into being in the 20th century. Similarly to Transylvania, Alsace represented a highly disputed territory, being claimed by two hostile nations. We shall focus upon the regionalist point of view, which used to be overshadowed by the ofl cial nationalist discourse of the centres, Paris and Berlin. We shall examine the way in which a regional identity was invented through works of art. Regionalist art historians did no longer speak of the existence of French or German art in Alsace, but of the existence of an Alsatian art individualized within European art. We shall also emphasise the role the genius loci and regional geography played in forging this new identity. Keywords: regional identity, art historiography, Alsace, regional geography To Corina Moldovan Natural borders The extraordinary inm uence of Vidal de la Blache’s writings (1845–1918) was not limited to the circle of geographers only, but it spread among art historians as well. Beside the analysis of different kinds of artefacts and monuments, regional geography enjoyed a large popularity among regionalist art historians. Artistic works were placed in the immediate geographical context, thus developing new meanings. In addition to that, a tight connection was observed between the geographical area and the work of art, the latter one being inm uenced by or completed with the peculiarities of landforms.

Butz My great grandfather, John Ericson Castor, was born 22 Nov 1866 in Philadelphia, PA to George Washing- ton Castor and Susanna Ireland. I am not positive of Susanna's maiden name, but on John's Death Certificate, her name is listed as Susan Ireland. He died on 16 Mar 1944, his cause of death was cerebral thrombosis due to chronic myocarditis, and his occupation was farmer. The death certificate also states that John was born on Pattys Island, NJ, but I have seen other documents that state he was born in Philadelphia at 1232 Ann St., Port Richmond, Philadelphia County, PA. He is buried at Goshen Methodist Church cemetery in Goshen, NJ. John's father died in 1873 when John was 6 years old. In October 1873 John's mother and uncle John Cas- tor applied for John to be placed at Girard College For Orphans and he was admitted on 30 Dec 1875. Susan- na's address listed on the application is 1430 Richmond Street, Port Richmond. Question 7 on the application asks "what has been his general moral conduct? "Requires control was the answer." I was told that he ran away from Girard College, but Girard College has him listed as Expelled. I do not have a date for when that hap- pened. John was married to Mary E. Elliott on 23 March 1891 at 4th & New Street in Philadelphia by Geo.

Irish responses to Fascist Italy, 1919–1932 by Mark Phelan A thesis submitted in fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Supervisor: Prof. Gearóid Ó Tuathaigh Department of History School of Humanities National University of Ireland, Galway December 2012 ABSTRACT This project assesses the impact of the first fascist power, its ethos and propaganda, on key constituencies of opinion in the Irish Free State. Accordingly, it explores the attitudes, views and concerns expressed by members of religious organisations; prominent journalists and academics; government officials/supporters and other members of the political class in Ireland, including republican and labour activists. By contextualising the Irish response to Fascist Italy within the wider patterns of cultural, political and ecclesiastical life in the Free State, the project provides original insights into the configuration of ideology and social forces in post-independence Ireland. Structurally, the thesis begins with a two-chapter account of conflicting confessional responses to Italian Fascism, followed by an analysis of diplomatic intercourse between Ireland and Italy. Next, the thesis examines some controversial policies pursued by Cumann na nGaedheal, and assesses their links to similar Fascist initiatives. The penultimate chapter focuses upon the remarkably ambiguous attitude to Mussolini’s Italy demonstrated by early Fianna Fáil, whilst the final section recounts the intensely hostile response of the Irish labour movement, both to the Italian regime, and indeed to Mussolini’s Irish apologists.
