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.

Performances of Irish ballads remained popular with English audiences but the publication of Stanford’s song collection An Irish Idyll in Six Miniatures in 1901 by Boosey and Hawkes in London marks a shift to a different type of Irish song.

O’Mealy was a union piper and pipe-maker, born in Westmeath in the last quarter of the nineteenth century. He lived most of his adult life in Belfast where he was renowned as a piper, broadcaster, piping teacher and pipe-maker. His piping was crisp, entertaining and inventive and his broadcasts were essential listening for anyone with an interest in Irish music. Through his teaching and making of the instrument he was central to the continuance of piping in the north-east of Ireland in the early twentieth century. As an entertainer he was widely celebrated for both his knowledge of piping and the eccentric costumes he wore while performing. Ulster Museums Richard was born on Wednesday 22 Oct 1873, the youngest of nine children of Laurence (Larry) Mealy and Letitia Lewis. He was born into a relatively prosperous house; as well as working twenty acres of his own farmland, Laurence Mealy was steward on the local Tristernagh Estate, owned at that time by the Goodbody family. The house where R.L. O’Mealy was born was called Templecross Cottage, just yards from the old ruined chapel and burial ground which gave the cottage its name.

To an Athlete Dying Young A. E. HOUSMAN The time you won your town the race We chaired you through the market-place; Man and boy stood cheering by, And home we brought you shoulder-high. Today, the road all runners come, Shoulder-high we bring you home, And set you at your threshold down, Townsman of a stiller town. Smart lad, to slip betimes away From fields where glory does not stay, And early though the laurel grows It withers quicker than the rose. Eyes the shady night has shut Cannot see the record cut, And silence sounds no worse than cheers After earth has stopped the ears. Now you will not swell the rout Of lads that wore their honours out, Runners whom renown outran And the name died before the man. So set, before its echoes fade, The fleet foot on the sill of shade, And hold to the low lintel up The still-defended challenge-cup. And round that early-laurelled head Will flock to gaze the strengthless dead, And find unwithered on its curls The garland briefer than a girl’s. ii iii Contents Preface........................................................................................................................... vi Abstract .........................................................................................................................

  • The Gaelic Revival
    The Gaelic Revival The turn of the 19th century saw the Gaelic Revival. In the north of Ireland both Unionists and Nationalists came together in an effort to preserve the Irish language. This coincided with the Arts and Crafts Revival across Europe. Against this background of cultural renaissance Feis na nGleann ('The Glens Feis') was founded in 1904, as the first Gaelic cultural festival in east Ulster. Led by a group of leading 'Big House' figures in the locality, among them Miss Rose Young of Galgorm Castle, a member of a leading Ballymena Unionist dynasty, Miss Ada McNeill of Cushendun and Miss Margaret Dobbs of Cushendall, an inaugural Feis Committee was formed. Joining their ranks was Sir Roger Casement, then a recent convert to Irish nationalism, Eoin MacNeill, Glensman and language revivalist, Francis Joseph Bigger, lawyer and antiquarian, John ''Benmore'' Clarke and Joseph Campbell, the Belfast poet who wrote the haunting Blue Hills of Antrim. The Feis took place in Glenariffe on Thursday 30th June 1904 and included music, dancing, language, local industries and games. Hurling, where teams competed for the Shield of the Heroes - a copper shield specially commissioned by Francis Joseph Bigger, was won by Carey Faughs.

  • FRANCIS JOSEPH BIGGER (1863-1926) Antiquarian and Celtic Revivalist
    HIDDEN GEMS AND FORGOTTEN PEOPLE FRANCIS JOSEPH BIGGER (1863-1926) Antiquarian and Celtic Revivalist Francis Joseph Bigger was born 17 July 1863 in Little Donegall Street, Belfast. He was educated at Royal Belfast Academical Institution, of which grandfather had been a founder 1810 and his father a governor. He studied law at Queens College Belfast and King's Inn in Dublin, qualifying as a solicitor in1887. In 1889 he set up a practice in Royal Avenue in partnership with George Strachan. In 1884 he joined the Belfast Naturalists' Field Club, founded in 1863. Its membership included the photographer R.J. Welch and the botanist Robert Lloyd Praeger. He soon became its secretary and later its president. In 1894 he revived the Ulster Journal of Archaeology after a lapse of 30 years, becoming its editor and remaining so until 1911. He acquired a lifelong interest in the Irish language, learning to speak it. He joined the Gaelic League and was appointed to its Executive Committee. This brought him into contact with Douglas Hyde and Eoin MacNeill, who would influence many of his ideas. He founded the Belfast College of Irish and supported it until its closure in 1923. In 1894 he was elected a member of the Royal Irish Academy. His interest in archaeology led him to buy the 15th-century Jordan's Castle at Ardglass in County Down. He restored the castle, naming it Castle Sean, a model of the Celtic Revival and a meeting place for its more prominent people, finally bequeathing it to the state. Bigger produced in excess of 400 articles, contributing to Irish antiquarian journals and daily newspapers.

He was born in Ardee, County Louth on 5th January 1872 to Thomas Dolan, a family grocer, wine importer, hardware and seed merchant and to Annie Dolan nee Segrave, of Dunany, County Louth. He had nine siblings, however, only three of them survived to adulthood: himself, his brother James or Séamus (1886-1924) who became a priest and served as curate in Collon (1914-1920) and in Termonfeckin (1921-1924) and his sister Anne or Nannie (b1883) who became a Sister of Mercy nun in Dundalk called Mother Bernadine.

  • Alice Milligan: Republican Tableaux and the Revival Catherine Morris
    FIELD DAY REVIEW 132 Alice Milligan: Republican Tableaux and the Revival Catherine Morris Alice Milligan (1866–1953) was a cultural and political activist who rejected the unionist politics that sustained Ireland’s place within empire to become an internationalist republican. She was a key figure in the formation of the anti-colonial movement from the 1890s and a founding member of the Anti-Partition Council from the 1930s. A prolific writer for over six decades, she published her work in a range of genres (including poetry, short stories, novels, plays, journalism, letters and memoirs). From 1891 to the 1940s, she founded a series of cultural, feminist and political organizations that not only put the North on the map of the Irish Literary Revival but also gave a new resonance to Irish Wood engraving: Cluithcheoirí na hÉireann, Postcard, 1907. visual culture.
