Hurling: A unique Irish game Hurling is one of the world’s oldest field sports and has been played in some form in Ireland for over 800 years. It features in Irish folklore to illustrate the deeds of heroic mystical figures and it is chronicled as a distinct Irish pastime for at least 2,000 years. It is said that the heroes of Ireland played hurling long before Saint Patrick’s time – the game might hold the claim of being the original gaelic game, being mentioned long before football. Gaelic Football Again it is one of the oldest field games still played today. In essence the sport is a fast paced field game requiring skill, speed , intelligence, stamina, strength and passion. It’s a tough sport played at furious pace in which the ball can be both kicked or punched, or even, briefly, carried, in an effort to get it into or over the opposing team’s goal.

In writing this thesis, I hope that I have, in some way, managed to explain the reasons for this cultural diversity. This thesis would not have been written without the assistance of my two supervisors, Professor Mike Cronin and Professor Matthew Taylor. Professor Cronin’s assistance and knowledge has transformed the way I think about history, society and sport while Professor Taylor’s expertise has also made me look at the writing of sports history and the development of society in a different way.

Although much Irish folklore has roots in the far distant past, we will focus on those traditions documented from the late 18th through 21st centuries—a period during which folklore inspired an Irish literary revival and served the nation-building project of a newly independent republic. We will conclude with an investigation of the politics of culture, identity, and heritage in contemporary Northern Ireland where the legacy of British colonialism remains most pronounced.

Traditional Irish Sources for “The Song of Wandering Aengus”
“The Song of Wandering Aengus” by W. B. Yeats: A Common Core Exemplar Traditional Irish Sources for “The Song of Wandering Aengus” Part 1. Allusions to Celtic Mythology In discussing the composition of “The Song of Wandering Aengus,” William Butler Yeats noted, “It was suggested to me by a Greek folksong; but the folk belief of Greece is very like that of Ireland, and I certainly thought, when I wrote it, of Ireland, and of the spirits that are in Ireland.” One of Yeats’s long standing passions was to revive traditional Irish culture, and one way he acted upon it was by integrating Celtic mythology and Irish folk lore into his written work. Yeats included several archetypal images in “The Song of Wandering Aengus” that have special significance in the Irish folk tradition: the fisherman, the silver trout, the hazel bough, and the apple. The fisherman archetype surfaces in various forms in this part of the world, especially in stories related to “selkies” with their scenes of fantastic shape shifting between seal and human form. The silver trout reflects the symbolic association fish carry in the Irish tradition with connotations related to health and fertility as well as knowledge, inspiration, and prophecy. The hazel is a sacred tree connected with immortal wisdom in Irish tree-lore. Stories in the Celtic tradition often place hazel trees at the border between worlds where magical things happen. Hazel is considered a container of ancient knowledge and, when ingested, hazel nuts were thought to heighten awareness and induce visions that led to epiphanies.

Appendixes Appendix A
APPENDIXES APPENDIX A Yeats's Notes in The Collected Poems, 1933 The Spelling of Gaelic Names In this edition of my poems I have adopted Lady Gregory's spelling of Gaelic names, with, I think, two exceptions. The 'd' of 'Edain' ran too well in my verse for me to adopt her perhaps more correct 'Etain,' and for some reason unknown to me I have always preferred 'Aengus' to her 'Angus.' In her Gods and Fighting Men and Cuchulain of Muirthemne she went as close to the Gaelic spelling as she could without making the names unpro nounceable to the average reader.'-1933. Crossways. The Rose (pages 3, 25) Many of the poems in Crossways, certainly those upon Indian subjects or upon shepherds and fauns, must have been written before I was twenty, for from the moment when I began The Wanderings of Oisin, which I did at that age, I believe, my subject-matter became Irish. Every time I have reprinted them I have considered the leaving out of most, and then remem bered an old school friend who has some of them by heart, for no better reason, as I think, than that they remind him of his own youth.' The little Indian dramatic scene was meant to be the first scene of a play about a man loved by two women, who had the one soul between them, the one woman waking when the other slept, and knowing but daylight as the other only night. It came into my head when I saw a man at Rosses Point carrying two salmon.
