They contain a great deal of information on subjects which have for long years interested Gaelic students and the Gaelic public, although they have not always properly understood them.

  • Mairtin Mac Con Iomaire (MM) John Clancy (JC) Jimmy Rock (JR)
    Edited Interview with John Clancy in Cathal Brugha Street (22/1 & 1112/2008) Mairtin Mac Con Iomaire (MM) John Clancy (JC) Jimmy Rock (JR) 1. MM: Where and when were you born? 2. JC: I was born in Dublin on the 3rd December 1952, in the Navan Road and I was adopted aged three by a family called the Bannons. The extraordinary thing about the Bannons, was that George was Church of Ireland and Connie his wife, Catherine, was Roman Catholic and when they got married it caused terrible consternation in the family, in fact her family wouldn't talk to them, it caused terrible friction in the family. Now I have to say he was an absolute gentleman. His career, he was a sergeant major in the British Army and he fought in the Second World War. He came back from the war and went to work in Maguire and Pattersons. He was a maintenance fitter by trade, very highly skilled. 3. MM: The match people, they were Quakers, weren't they? 4. JC: That's right, and when I went up to live in Barr na Coille, I was fostered with another chap called Charlie Warner, no Charlie, nobody knows where Charlie is now. The Bannons had one son Kenneth who would have been about seven years older than I; he would have been around ten at the time. There are several things I remember about the experience, it was my first time ever in a car, and it was my first time ever seeing dogs, they had greyhounds and collies.

  • Identity in Gaelic Drama 1900-1949 Susan Ross University of Glasgow
    Identity in Gaelic Drama 1900-1949 Susan Ross University of Glasgow Michelle Macleod and Moray Watson have described drama and prose fiction as being ‘in the shadow of the bard’ in terms of their place in the canon of Gaelic literature. (2007) Analysis and review of the extant drama materials show, however, that the Gaelic playwright Tormod Calum Dòmhnallach (Norman Malcolm MacDonald), 1 was right in saying in 1986 that ‘Gaelic theatre […] has been in existence for longer than many of us suspect’. (MacDonald 1986: 147) It is believed that the first Gaelic play (fully in Gaelic, rather than bilingual English with Gaelic) was performed by the Edinburgh University Celtic Society in 1902 although it is no longer known which play or sketch was performed. (Macleod and Watson 2007: 280) In the first decade of the twentieth century, Còisir Chiùil Lunnainn (London Musical Choir) also performed plays at their annual concert in London.2 This article looks at the first half of the twentieth century, when stage drama in Gaelic was being created, to investigate how Gaelic playwrights represented Scottish Gaels and their culture in this new art form. In terms of their artistic merit, Gaelic plays between 1900 and the Second World War are not generally held in high esteem, having previously been described as ‘outstanding neither as to quantity or quality’. (MacLeod 1969: 146) Despite this, there is value in what they reveal about identity and attitudes of the writers, many of whom were prominent figures in the Gaelic movement. An overview of some of the principal themes and tropes of the drama of this period will be presented, considering in particular how the writers negotiate what it meant to be a Gael in the early twentieth century.

  • Breton Patronyms and the British Heroic Age
    Breton Patronyms and the British Heroic Age Gary D. German Centre de Recherche Bretonne et Celtique Introduction Of the three Brythonic-speaking nations, Brittany, Cornwall and Wales, it is the Bretons who have preserved the largest number of Celtic family names, many of which have their origins during the colonization of Armorica, a period which lasted roughly from the fourth to the eighth centuries. The purpose of this paper is to present an overview of the Breton naming system and to identify the ways in which it is tied to the earliest Welsh poetic traditions. The first point I would like to make is that there are two naming traditions in Brittany today, not just one. The first was codified in writing during the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries and it is this system that has given us the official hereditary family names as they are recorded in the town halls and telephone directories of Brittany. Although these names have been subjected to marked French orthographic practices, they reflect, in a fossilized form, the Breton oral tradition as it existed when the names were first set in writing over 400 years ago. For this reason, these names often contain lexical items that are no longer understood in the modern spoken language. We shall return to this point below. The second naming system stems directly from the oral tradition as it has come down to us today. Unlike the permanent hereditary names, it is characterized by its ephemeral, personal and extremely flexible nature. Such names disappear with the death of those who bear them.

  • Hunting for the Genetic Legacy of Brian Boru in Irish Historical Sources
    Hunting for the genetic legacy of Brian Boru in Irish historical sources. Catherine Swift, Mary Immaculate College Having won an English chariot from an Italian gentleman at play, my uncle had our arms painted on the panels in a more splendid way than ever (surmounted, as we were descended from the ancient kings) with an Irish crown of the most splendid size and gilding. I had this crown in lieu of a coronet engraved on a large amethyst signet-ring worn on my forefinger; and I don’t mind confessing that I used to say the jewel had been in my family for several thousand years, having originally belonged to my direct ancestor, his late Majesty, King Brian Boru or Barry. I warrant the legends of the Heralds’ College are not more authentic than mine was.1 In his travels in Ireland in 1842, Thackeray followed the course of the Shannon up river from Tarbert to Limerick and then travelled through Clare to Galway, visiting “a decent little library” in Ennis where he bought “six volumes of works strictly Irish”. As he describes them subsequently, “these yellow-covered books are prepared for the people chiefly” and included tales of a highwayman entitled Adventures of Mr James Freeny, legends in Hibernian Tales2 and “the lamentable tragedy of the ‘Battle of Aughrim’ writ in the most doleful Anglo-Irish verse.” He does not refer explicitly in his Irish Sketchbook to Brian Boru but it seems fair to assume that his description of Barry Lyndon’s ancestry was based, at least in part, on stories he had heard when travelling through Thomond or, perhaps, even elsewhere in Ireland.

  • Hi1012 Medieval Ireland A
    HI 1202 IRELAND c.1000-1250: BRIAN BORU TO THE ENGLISH INVASION Course Organiser: Seán Duffy ([email protected]) Duration: Michaelmas Term (Sept-Dec) Contact hours: 2 hrs per week plus tutorials Weighting: 10 ECTS 1. COURSE DESCRIPTION This module begins with the iconic battle of Clontarf in 1014 at which the high-king, Brian Boru, fought enemies that included the descendants of the Viking founders of Dublin. Study is made of the after-effects of the Vikings on Irish society, before moving to examine the causes and implications of the English invasion of the late twelfth century, especially the ensuing upheaval in Irish political life and Anglo-Irish relations. The module also offers a critical evaluation of the changing role of the church in medieval Irish life, and attention is paid to the patterns of human settlement and the physical imprint of man on the landscape: where and how did people live, and what survives today in terms of archaeology and architecture? 2. AIMS AND OBJECTIVES Aim: The course aims to provide students with a basic understanding of political, social and ecclesiastical developments in Ireland during the High and Later Middle Ages, by introducing essential knowledge and key concepts. Learning outcomes: By the end of the course, students should be able to • outline chronologically the key developments in Ireland c.1000-c.1250 • offer explanations for the key developments in the period • evaluate the significance of those key developments and appreciate their impact on the subsequent course of Irish history • search for,

  • The Southern Literary Influences of Cormac Mccarthy and How They
    Brandeis University Waltham Massachusetts Department of English Myth, Legend, Dust: The Southern Literary Influences of Cormac McCarthy and How They Portend the Evening Redness in the West Benjamin Rui-Lin Fong Advisor: John Burt A thesis submitted to the faculty of Brandeis University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Bachelor of Arts in English May 2018 2 ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS I would like to thank my advisor and mentor, the bardic John Burt, who was my first English professor at Brandeis and whose intellectual guidance and comments have helped shape every part of this thesis. Professor Burt’s Southern Literature course led to my first encounter with Blood Meridian. His lecture on Milton’s Satan and Judge Holden inspired this three-year obsession with Cormac McCarthy. I would like to thank Jerome Tharaud who has been a particularly inspirational professor and mentor whose guidance, enthusiasm, and instruction sparked my love for American literature. He has been particularly helpful in his advice on balancing thesis work and my applications to graduate school. I would like to thank Kurt Cavender who encouraged a UWS student to take more English classes (and who spent his own time to nominate me for an award). I would like to thank Pu Wang whose lectures on tragedy and modernity inspired me to pursue the Knoxville portions of this thesis. Lastly, I would like to thank Emma Smith. Our talks about Shakespeare have stayed in my mind, and Shakespeare’s language, stories, and characters come to mind every day. Finally, I would like to thank my family, whose love and support have spanned continents.

  • Origins of the Maceoghainn Clan: What Information Can Y Chromosome Markers Provide?
    Page 1 Origins of the MacEoghainn clan: What information can Y chromosome markers provide? John McEwan 10th July 2005 The intention of this article is to provide background to the Y chromosome investigation we are attempting to undertake into the origins of the Ewing and McEwen surname variants. There is no guarantee of success of the project and it may take some time before we are in a position to judge the outcome. The objective is to identify if the oral and written history of the clan and weigh it on the scales of the information DNA provides. Specifically, the article reviews the recorded origins of the MacEoghainn surname and then describes some potential investigations that can be done using the DNA data. Later articles will describe the results of work to address these questions. Surnames Surnames largely became fixed in England and Ireland during the period 1000-1200 AD, but in Scotland they are primarily related to the clan system. The reason for surnames derives from the Norman invasion and various aspects of the feudal system. However, detailed genealogies were a feature of Celtic life and many Scottish clans can trace their ancestry (at least as an oral tradition) back 1500 to 2000 years. Accepted origin The available oral and written tradition is that the Scottish MacEoghainn clan (to use a Gaelic rendering of the name which means “son of Ewen”) originally resided in Argyll. When transliterated into English, from Gaelic this became Ewing, McEwen, McEwan and other associated variants. In tracing my own family the earliest spelling of the name was McEwing in the late 1700s, then McEwen and after 1870 when they had shifted from Islay to the Glasgow area McEwan.

  • King, High-King, and Emperor of the Irish
    The Pennsylvania State University The Graduate School College of the Liberal Arts BRIAN BORU: KING, HIGH-KING, AND EMPEROR OF THE IRISH A Thesis in History by David B. Beougher © 2007 David B. Beougher Submitted in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy August 2007 The thesis of David B. Beougher was reviewed and approved* by the following: Benjamin T. Hudson Professor of History and Medieval Studies Thesis Adviser Chair of Committee Carol A. Reardon Professor of Military History Janina Safran Associate Professor of History Baruch Halpern Professor of Ancient History, Classics and Ancient Mediterranean Studies Sally McMurry Head and Professor Department of History *Signatures are on file in the Graduate School. ii ABSTRACT This dissertation studies the career of Brian ”Bórumha” mac Cennétig from its beginning with his election to the kingship of his ancestral kingdom of Dál Cais in 976 until his death as the high-king of Ireland at the Battle of Clontarf in 1014. He was arguably the most successful Irish king of the Middle Ages, and his sobriquet “bórumha” (“cattle tribute”), usually Anglicized as “Boru,” refers to his right to the reign over the island. Special emphasis is placed on the development of his military strategy as he progressed from regional prince to lordship over the entire island. Brian’s career has not received the scholarly attention given to his contemporaries elsewhere. His reign is either dealt with superficially in brief essays or treated more fully by writers interested in sensationalism. A careful study of Brian’s strategy and operational method reveals that they continuously evolved during the course of his reign.
