  • From Celtic Twilight to Revolutionary Dawn: the Irish Review, 1911-14
    From Celtic Twilight to Revolutionary Dawn The Irish Review 1911-1914 By Ed Mulhall The July 1913 edition of The Irish Review , a monthly magazine of Irish Literature, Art and Science, leads off with an article " Ireland, Germany and the Next War" written under the pseudonym " Shan Van Vocht ". The article is a response to a major piece written by Arthur Conan Doyle, the author of the Sherlock Holmes books and a noted writer on international issues, in the Fortnightly Review of February 1903 called "Great Britain and the Next War". Shan Van Vocht takes issue with a central conclusion of Doyle's piece that Ireland's interests are one with Great Britain if Germany were to be victorious in any conflict. Doyle writes: "I would venture to say one word here to my Irish fellow- countrymen of all political persuasions. If they imagine that they can stand politically or economically while Britain falls, they are woefully mistaken. The British Fleet is their one shield. If it be broken, Ireland will go down. They may well throw themselves heartily into the common defense, for no sword can transfix England without the point reaching Ireland behind her." However The Irish Review author proposes to show that "Ireland, far from sharing the calamities that must necessarily fall on Great Britain from defeat by a Great Power, might conceivably thereby emerge into a position of much prosperity." The contents page of the July 1913 issue of The Irish Review In supporting this provocative stance the author initially tackles two aspects of the accepted British view of Ireland's fate under these circumstances: that Ireland would remain tied with Britain under German rule or that she might be annexed by the victor.

I never knew AE to tell a story which was in the slightest degree off color or irreverent. And yet, of an evening, he could grip your closest attention as you listened steadily to an endless flow of words from nine in the evening till two in the morn­ ing. In 1934 Mary Rumsey offered to pay AE's expenses to come to this country to consult with the Department of Agriculture. Robert Frost was somewhat annoyed because he felt we should have called him in rather than AE. At the moment, however, AE, when talking to our Exten­ sion people, furnished a type of profound inspiration which I thought was exceedingly important. He worked largely out of the office of M. L. Wilson, who later became Under-Secretary of Agriculture and Director of Extension. In this period I had him out to our apartment with Justice Stone, the Morgenthaus, and others.

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.

    Irish Cultural Revival | Sample answer ‘How did cultural and religious identities develop in Ireland 1870-1914’ (2019) Gaelic culture was beginning to decline and become more Anglicised. There was a growing spread of Irish people embracing English culture, language and customs, and forgetting their own. There was a cultural revival in the last decades of the 19th century. This saw the growth of cultural nationalism. Organisations such as the GAA and the Gaelic League tried to revive Irish identity and culture through sport and language. The Anglo-Irish literacy revival also tried to accomplish this through literature and plays. The GAA De Valera’s English sports such as soccer, cricket, rugby and athletics were organised with rules and competitions. They were mainly confined to gentlemen, who were Protestant, Unionist and upper-class men as games were played on Saturdays when poor Catholics worked. This led to a decline in traditional Irish games and so Michael Cusack, who was a former member of the IRB, saw the spread of English games as a threat to Irish culture. Thus he wrote an article in an Irish newspaper stating his desire to preserve Irish games, open sports to all social classes and achieve greater control over the running of Irish sports. Maurice Davin who was one of Irelands greatest athletes, supported Cusack and so he, along with Cusack and 11 other men founded the Gaelic Athletic Association or the GAA in the Hayes Hotel in Thurles on the 1st of November 1884. Davin became the first President while Cusack was elected the secretary.
