  • W. B. Yeats' Influence on Irish Nationalism, 1916-1923
    18 W.B. Yeats’ Influence on Irish Nationalism, 1916-1923 Mark Mulcahey 19 Mark graduated from Eastern Illinois University in 1999 with a B.A. in History. He is currently working on his M.A. at Brigham Young University, studying 20th Century U.S. Military History with an emphasis on U.S. military intervention. This paper was written for a course on The World in the Twentieth Century with Dr. Roger Beck. William Butler Yeats once said, “I understand my own race and in all my work, lyric or dramatic, I have thought of it . I shall write for my own people, whether in love or hate of them matters little, probably I shall not know which it is.”1 This credo is evident in the majority of Yeats’ literary efforts. Yeats believed literature should shape a country’s cultural identity, specifically in Yeats’ case, Ireland, while being free of all political motives. Despite this intention, Yeats’ literary addition to Ireland’s culture also contributed to radical Irish nationalism. Yeats’ main objective was to create an Irish identity free from English cultural influence. By no means was Yeats either an Anglophobe or an advocate for using violent tactics in nationalist movements. However, this did not prevent Yeats’ works from inspiring Irish nationalists who believed in using violence in order to attain self-rule. Padraig Pearse and Michael Collins, both of whom admired Yeats, interpreted Yeats’ works as supporting their respective ideologies during the Easter Uprising of 1916 and the Irish Civil War in 1922-1923. Yeats’ early poetry recounted Irish folklore, legends, and descriptions of Ireland’s natural imagery.

My hypothesis is that the repertoire of myths, memories and symbols of the Irish nation formed the basis for individual interpretations of the events of the Easter Rising, and that this interpretation, in turn, stimulated members of the Irish nation to support radical nationalism. I have based my work on an interdisciplinary approach, utilising theories of ethnicity and nationalism as well as social movements.

THE IRISH IN BRITAIN FROM THE EARLIEST TIMES TO THE FALL AND DEATH OF PARNELL BY JOHN DENVIR SECOND EDITION LONDON KEGAN PAUL, TRENCH, TRUBNER & CO., Ltd. PATERNOSTER HOUSE, CHARING CROSS ROAD 1894 PREFACE TO THE SECOND EDITION. The two years that have passed since the appearance of the first edition of " The Irish in Britain" have been among the most eventful in Irish history. But, though our cause has, during that period, made giant strides, the time has scarcely yet come when a satisfactory history can be presented of the struggle still going on, which we believe to be the final rally for Ireland's freedom. It is still true to say that no portion of our race has borne a more distinguished part in this struggle than the Irish in Britain. When the General Election of 1892 found the Irish Parliamentary Party with an empty treasury, their prompt and generous contribution gave heart and- hope to Ireland.
