  • Irish Authors Collections Guide 18 August 2020 English Literature Is One of the Two Greatest Strengths of the Rosenbach's Libr
    Irish Authors Collections Guide 18 August 2020 English Literature is one of the two greatest strengths of the Rosenbach’s library collections (the other being American history). What we usually call English Literature is more precisely the English-language literature of Great Britain, Ireland, and surrounding islands. Some of the greatest writers in the English language have been Irish. Dr. Rosenbach certainly recognized this, and although we don't know that he had a special interest in Irish writers as such, it means that he did collect a number of them. His interest was chiefly in pre-20th-century literature, so apart from James Joyce there are few recent writers represented. Although they are not segregated by country of origin on the Rosenbach shelves, this guide highlights Irish authors as a particular sub-set of English-language authors. The guide is arranged in alphabetical order by author’s last name, and in the instances of James Joyce, Bram Stoker, and Oscar Wilde, the list is further broken down by collections category. Throughout this guide, all objects owned by Dr. Rosenbach are marked with an asterisk (*). Those marked with double (**) are part of Philip Rosenbach’s gift to the Foundation on January 12, 1953, consisting partly of objects from Dr. Rosenbach’s estate. This guide will be updated periodically to reflect new acquisitions and further cataloging of the Rosenbach collections. Objects acquired since 2014 are marked with a “+”. For further information on any item listed on this collections guide, please contact us at https://rosenbach.org/research/make-an-inquiry/.

  • A Book of Irish Verse
    A BOOK OF IRISH VERSE W.B. YEATS TO THE MEMBERS OF THE NATIONAL LITERARY SOCIETY OF DUBLIN AND THE IRISH LITERARY SOCIETY OF LONDON PREFACE I HAVE not found it possible to revise this book as completely as I should have wished. I have corrected a bad mistake of a copyist, and added a few pages of new verses towards the end, and softened some phrases in the introduction which seemed a little petulant in form, and written in a few more to describe writers who have appeared during the last four years, and that is about all. I compiled it towards the end of a long indignant argument, carried on in the committee rooms of our literary societies, and in certain newspapers between a few writers of our new movement, who judged Irish literature by literary standards, and a number of people, a few of whom were writers, who judged it by its patriotism and by its political effect; and I hope my opinions may have value as part of an argument which may awaken again. The Young Ireland writers wrote to give the peasantry a literature in English in place of the literature they were losing with Gaelic, and these methods, which have shaped the literary thought of Ireland to our time, could not be the same as the methods of a movement which, so far as it is more than an instinctive expression of certain moods of the soul, endeavours to create a reading class among the more leisured classes, which will preoccupy itself with Ireland and the needs of Ireland.

  • “Goldsmith, the Gate, and the 'Hibernicising' of Anglo-Irish Plays”
    This PRE-PUBLICATION version was delivered at Mary Immaculate College, UL on 8 November 2017, as part of the “Institute for Irish Studies Lunchtime Lecture Series”. Earlier versions were delivered on 8 June 2013 at NUI Maynooth, as part of the ECIS Annual Conference, and at NUI Galway on 17 July 2013, as part of the “Performance, Nation and Globalization Summer School”. For the “official”, published version of this essay, please see The Gate Theatre, Dublin: Inspiration and Craft. Eds. David Clare, Des Lally, and Patrick Lonergan. Dublin: Carysfort Press, 2018. 239-259. “Goldsmith, the Gate, and the ‘Hibernicising’ of Anglo-Irish Plays” Dr. David Clare (Mary Immaculate College, UL) In recent decades, Irish theatre-makers have frequently imposed Irish elements onto the “English” plays written by London-based, Irish Anglican playwrights. As discerning critics have long recognised, George Farquhar, Oliver Goldsmith, Richard Brinsley Sheridan, Oscar Wilde, and Bernard Shaw frequently signalled their Irish origins in their plays. Often cited are their satirical portraits of the English, their subversive use of Stage Irishmen, and their inclusion of Irish topical references. However, since independence (and even more markedly since the early 1980s), Irish theatres and theatre companies have not been satisfied with such coded expressions of Irishness. Bowing to popular, narrow conceptions of Irish identity – and perhaps demonstrating their discomfort with the Irish/British cultural hybridity of these writers1 – Irish theatre-makers have frequently had certain English, Scottish, or continental European characters in these works played as Irish, or have re-set the plays in Ireland. When “Hibernicising” these scripts, Irish theatre-makers have, on occasion, cleverly highlighted Irish aspects of these plays which were in danger of going unnoticed, or have added an extra Irish dimension which was appealing to Irish audiences and which did not distort the plays as a whole.

  • ACTA UNI VERSITATIS LODZIENSIS David Gilligan ONCE ALIEN HERE
    ACTA UNI VERSITATIS LODZIENSIS FOLIA LITTER ARIA ANGLICA 4, 2000 David Gilligan University of Łódź ONCE ALIEN HERE: THE POETRY OF JOHN HEWITT John Hewitt, who died in 1987 at the age of 80 years, has been described as the “elder statesman” of Ulster poetry. He began writing poetry in the 1920s but did not appear in book form until 1948; his final collection appearing in 1986. However, as Frank Ormsby points out in the 1991 edition of Poets From The North of Ireland, recognition for Hewitt came late in life and he enjoyed more homage and attention in his final years than for most of his creative life. In that respect he is not unlike Poland’s latest Nobel Prize winner in literature. His status was further recognized by the founding of the John Hewitt International Summer School in 1988. It is somewhat strange that such a prominent and central figure in Northern Irish poetry should at the same time be characterised in his verse as a resident alien, isolated and marginalised by the very society he sought to encapsulate and represent in verse. But then Northern Ireland/Ulster is and was a strange place for a poet to flourish within. In relation to the rest of the United Kingdom it was always something of a fossilised region which had more than its share of outdated thought patterns, language, social and political behaviour. Though ostensibly a parliamentary democracy it was a de-facto, one-party, statelet with its own semi-colonial institutions; every member of the executive of the ruling Unionist government was a member of a semi-secret masonic movement (The Orange Order) and amongst those most strongly opposed to the state there was a similar network of semi-secret societies (from the I.R.A.

  • Cultural Convergence the Dublin Gate Theatre, 1928–1960
    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.

  • William Butler Yeats, from 1903 to 1940
    The Cuala Press (originally the Dun Emer Press, 1903 – 1907) was a private press operated by Elizabeth Yeats, sister of William Butler Yeats, from 1903 to 1940. After Elizabeth Yeats’ death in 1940, the press was run by Esther Ryan and Marie Gill until its demise in 1946. Inspired by William Morris’ Arts and Crafts Movement, the press published works by writers associated with the Irish Literary Revival. The Irish Collection of the Rare Books and Manuscripts Library at the Ohio State University Libraries owns over eighty percent of the titles published by the Cuala Press.
