Hertford O'donnell's Warning
Hertford O’Donnell’s Warning Charlotte Riddell Many a year ago, before chloroform was thought of, there lived in an old, rambling house, in Gerard Street, Soho, a young Irishman called Hertford O’Donnell. After Hertford O’Donnell he was entitled to write M.R.C.S., for he had studied hard to gain this distinction, and the older surgeons at Guy’s (his hospital) considered him, in their secret hearts, one of the most rising operators of the day. Having said chloroform was unknown at the time this story opens, it will strike my readers that, if Hertford O’Donnell were a rising and successful operator in those days, of necessity he combined within himself a larger number of striking qualities than are by any means necessary to form a successful operator in these. There was more than mere hand skill, more than even thorough knowledge of his profession, needful for the man who, dealing with conscious subjects, essayed to rid them of some of the diseases to which ﬂesh is heir. There was greater courage required in the manipulator of old than is at present altogether essential. Then, as now, a thorough mastery of his instruments — a steady hand — a keen eye — a quick dexterity were indispensable to a good operator; but, added to all these things, there formerly required a pulse which knew no quickening — a mental strength which never faltered — a ready power of adaptation in unexpected circumstances — fertility of resource in difﬁcult cases, and a brave front under all emergencies. If I refrain from adding that a hard as well as a courageous heart was an important item in the programme, it is only out of deference to general opinion, which amongst other delusions, clings to the belief that courage and hardness are antagonistic qualities.

CU/LT 270 CELTIC MYTH and LEGEND in EARLY IRELAND IES Abroad Dublin
CU/LT 270 CELTIC MYTH AND LEGEND IN EARLY IRELAND IES Abroad Dublin DESCRIPTION: This interdisciplinary course offers students an introduction to Irish heroic literature, Celtic mythology and Irish fairy tales and folklore. We will read a selection of early Irish tales from The Mythological Cycle, The Ulster Cycle, The Cycle of Finn and The Historical Cycle, exploring what literary genres our stories fit into, the significance of various recurring themes and symbols, the connections between Celtic mythology and other world mythologies and the origins of Arthurian legends as based upon Celtic prototypes. These stories offer a fascinating insight into the complex world of pre-Christian and early Christian Ireland by painting vivid portraits of life, culture and legends in pagan times. In addition to the literature aspect of this course, we will also explore insular and continental Celtic archaeology and early Irish history, both of which will enable us to place our stories within a tangible, historical framework. We will also examine legends of otherworldly beings that are particular to Ireland, such as the banshee, the leprechaun and the pooka—discussing how, over time, the mythology and pagan beliefs of early Ireland transformed into Irish folklore and superstitions. CREDITS: 3 credits CONTACT HOURS: 45 hours LANGUAGE OF INSTRUCTION: English METHOD OF PRESENTATION: • Lectures • Seminar discussion • Small group discussion REQUIRED WORK AND FORM OF ASSESSMENT: Please bear in mind that this is a reading intensive course and you must have the required reading completed for the assigned day. • Participation - 10% • Presentation/Discussion leading - 20% • Museum Review and Artefact Biography - 25% • Final Essay - 25% • Final exam - 20% EVALUATION CRITERIA: Oral and written assignments will be evaluated and graded according to the following: Content, Critical Engagement, Clarity, Research, Original Thoughts and Ideas.

Morgan Le Fay
Morgan Le Fay by Susa Morgan Black , FSA Scot. Medieval Story The contemporary stories of Morgan le Fay are based on Christianized versions found in the Medieval writings of the Vulgate and Malory. She is depicted as an evil and lusty enchantress who tricks her brother, good King Arthur, into an incestuous relationship with her, resulting in the unnatural birth of their son, Mordred. She tricks Arthur’s wizard, Merlin, into divulging his magical secrets to her, then disposes of him inside the trunk of a tree, or a crystal cave. She sows the seeds of discontent with gossip against Lancelot and Queen Guinevere, steals the magical sword, Excalibur with it’s healing scabbard, plots the death of Arthur with her various lovers, and ultimately contributes to the dissolution of the Round Table. Yet, even in this version, Morgan was one of the three queens that retrieved Arthur’s fatally wounded body from the Battle of Camlan on Salisbury Plain, and returned with him to the holy Isle of Avalon to heal him, for he is the Once and Future King, destined to return from the timeless fairy island when Britain is in need of him. Marian Zimmer Bradley rescues Morgan le Fay from the Medieval sources, and tells the story from Morgan’s own point of view, as recently seen in the excellent movie, The Mists of Avalon, based on her novel. Celtic Story Morgan was a Celtic Queen. One of the definitions of the name Morgan is “Great Queen” (Mohr Righan), which may have been an ancient royal title.

Ancient Legends, Mystic Charms, and Superstitions of Ireland
Ancient Legends, Mystic Charms, and Superstitions of Ireland by Lady Francesca Speranza Wilde to which is appended a chapter on "The Ancient Race of Ireland" by the late Sir William Wilde. London: Ward & Downey [1887] Boston, Ticknor [1888] Preface THE three great sources of knowledge respecting the shrouded part of humanity are the language, the mythology, and the ancient monuments of a country. From the language one learns the mental and social height to which a nation had reached at any given period in arts, habits, and civilization, with the relation of man to man, and to the material and visible world. The mythology of a people reveals their relation to a spiritual and invisible world; while the early monuments are solemn and eternal symbols of religious faith---rituals of stone in cromlech, pillar, shrine and tower, temples and tombs. The written word, or literature, comes last, the fullest and highest expression of the intellect and culture, and scientific progress of a nation. The Irish race were never much indebted to the written word. The learned class, the ollamhs, dwelt apart and kept their knowledge sacred. The people therefore lived entirely upon the traditions of their forefathers, blended with the new doctrines taught by Christianity; so that the popular belief became, in time, an amalgam of the pagan myths and the Christian legend, and these two elements remain indissolubly united to this day. The world, in fact, is a volume, a serial rather going on for six thousand years, but of which the Irish peasant has scarcely yet turned the first age.
