See John Strachan, Advertising and Satirical Culture in the Romantic Period (Cambridge: Cambridge University Press, 2007), pp. 18–24. 11. From 1797 onwards, newspaper advertisements were taxed at a flat rate of 3s per insertion regardless of length. The duty was increased in 1815 to 3s 6d and not reduced until 1833, when, after pressure from manufacturers and pressmen alike, it came down to 1s 6d. 12.

Less charitably, Mr Milner also argued that removing the stamp duty, which threatened to stifle the further development of mass market and other newspapers, would also facilitate a measure of social control, most Notes 247 notably in what he considered to be the most lawless part of the kingdom, Ireland: There is one important consideration in this matter with regard to the circu- lation of newspapers, that in the places where they are freely circulated better order is maintained; and where the deficiency is most apparent, there disorder, outrage, ignorance, and lawless proceedings exist to a proportionate extent. In the country places in England, the deficiency, according to the above esti- mate, amounts to six and a half times the present supply; in the country places of Scotland, to ten times; and, in the country places in Ireland, to twenty-five times the present supply.

Frank Presbrey, The History and Development of Advertising (New York, NY: Doubleday, 1929), p. 90. This is not to say that throughout the whole of the nineteenth century the Irish press was not inextricably linked with advertising. That venerable organ the Freeman’s Journal began life as the Freeman’s Journal and Daily Commercial Advertiser in 1806 and the paper was not alone in foregrounding its nature as an advertising medium in its title. The Dublin Mercantile Advertiser, founded in 1818, also prospered, and outside of the capital, provincial towns and cities boasted newspapers keen for the advertising shilling, among them the Belfast Mercantile Journal and Weekly Advertiser (1807–1852; the paper then became the Mercantile Journal and Statistical Register (1852–1893)), the Clare Journal and Ennis Advertiser (1776–1917), the Cork Advertising Gazette (established 1856, before being incorporated with the Cork Herald in 1859), the Enniscorthy News and County of Wexford Advertiser (1861–1896), the Kilkenny Journal and Leinster Commercial and Literary Advertiser (1830–1922) and the Western Star and Ballinasloe Advertiser (1845-1902). 16. Dublin Advertising Gazette, 18 August 1858. 17. Ibid. 18. The Gael, 1903, p. 222. 19. Published 21 April 1858 to 31 March 1877, after which it merged with the Commercial Journal. 20. This publication, originally simply entitled the Weekly Advertiser, was, as a front- page banner proudly announced, ‘GRATIS!’ Its founding editor was John Warren, of Upper Ormond Quay, who was also a general printer as well as a publisher (he advertised this side of his business by promising ‘PROMPTITUDE and NEATNESS, with MODERATE CHARGES’). The journal featured advertisements for British as well as Irish goods; Warren employed an English agent, the memorably named Mr W. E. Life, to bring advertising in from Great Britain. Testimony to quite how high the late duty had been were Warren’s prices: the first three lines of each advertise- ment cost one shilling per insertion, with every additional line tuppence (with ‘display’ – illustrated advertisements – 1s and 6d per column inch). His principal innovation in Dublin advertising freesheets was the Weekly Advertiser’s attempt to tempt readers in by featuring a wider range of reading material alongside the paid messages. As well as its many advertisements, the paper also featured poetry, short stories and whimsy, and clippings from both English and American newspapers. 21. Journals such as the Gazette promoted their interests in boastful advertisements of their own. In a puff published in the Literary and Educational Yearbook for 1859 248 Notes (1858), the Dublin Advertising Gazette (‘Proprietors Chamney and Co., 86 Middle Abbey Street, Dublin’) described itself as ‘the best Irish medium for all kinds of Advertisements’, claiming a circulation of some 14,000. In the following year, however, it proclaimed even greater market penetration. On 25 August 1859, an excited banner in small caps for the Gazette boasted of its ‘GUARANTEED CIRCU- LATION,TWENTY FOUR THOUSAND,GRATIS!!!’

  • Urban Planning, Irish Modernism, and Dublin
    Notes 1 Urbanizing the Revival: Urban Planning, Irish Modernism, and Dublin 1. Arguably Andrew Thacker betrays a similar underlying assumption when he writes of ‘After the Race’: ‘Despite the characterisation of Doyle as a rather shallow enthusiast for motoring, the excitement of the car’s “rapid motion through space” is clearly associated by Joyce with a European modernity to which he, as a writer, aspired’ (Thacker 115). 2. Wirth-Nesher’s understanding of the city, here, is influenced by that of Georg Simmel, whereby the city, while divesting individuals of a sense of communal belonging, also affords them a degree of personal freedom that is impossible in a smaller community (Wirth-Nesher 163). Due to the lack of anonymity in Joyce’s Dublin, an indicator of its pre-urban or non-urban status, this personal freedom is unavailable to Joyce’s characters. ‘There are almost no strangers’ in Dubliners, she writes, with the exceptions of those in ‘An Encounter’ and ‘Araby’ (164). She then enumerates no less than seven strangers in the collection, arguing however that they are ‘invented through the transformation of the familiar into the strange’ (164). 3. Wirth-Nesher’s assumptions about Dublin’s status as a city are not really necessary to the focus of her analysis, which emphasizes the importance Joyce’s early work places on the ‘indeterminacy of the public and private’ and its effects on the social lives of the characters (166). That she chooses to frame this analysis in terms of Dublin’s ‘exacting the price of city life and in turn offering the constraints of a small town’ (173) reveals forcefully the pervasiveness of this type of reading of Joyce’s Dublin.

This dissertation may not be reproduced in whole or in part, by photo-copying or other means, without the permission of the author. ii Supervisory Committee Dr. Iain Higgins_(English)__________________________________________ _ Supervisor Dr. Tom Cleary_(English)____________________________________________ Departmental Member Dr. Eric Miller__(English)__________________________________________ __ Departmental Member Dr. Paul Wood_ (History)________________________________________ ____ Outside Member Dr. Ann Dooley_ (Celtic Studies) __________________________________ External Examiner ABSTRACT This dissertation, Hugh MacDiarmid and Sorley MacLean: Modern Makars, Men of Letters, transcribes and annotates 76 letters (65 hitherto unpublished), between MacDiarmid and MacLean. Four additional letters written by MacDiarmid’s second wife, Valda Grieve, to Sorley MacLean have also been included as they shed further light on the relationship which evolved between the two poets over the course of almost fifty years of friendship. These letters from Valda were archived with the unpublished correspondence from MacDiarmid which the Gaelic poet preserved. The critical introduction to the letters examines the significance of these poets’ literary collaboration in relation to the Scottish Renaissance and the Gaelic Literary Revival in Scotland, both movements following Ezra Pound’s Modernist maxim, “Make it new.” The first chapter, “Forging a Friendship”, situates the development of the men’s relationship in iii terms of each writer’s literary career, MacDiarmid already having achieved fame through his early lyrics and with the 1926 publication of A Drunk Man Looks at the Thistle when they first met.

  • W. B. Yeat's Presence in James Joyce's a Portrait of The
    udc 821.111-31.09 Joyce J. doi 10.18485/bells.2015.7.1 Michael McAteer Pázmány Péter Catholic University, Budapest, Hungary W. B. YEAT’S PRESENCE IN JAMES JOYCE’S A PORTRAIT OF THE ARTIST AS A YOUNG MAN Abstract In the context of scholarly re-evaluations of James Joyce’s relation to the literary revival in Ireland at the start of the twentieth century, this essay examines the significance of W.B. Yeats to A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man. It traces some of the debates around Celtic and Irish identity within the literary revival as a context for understanding the pre-occupations evident in Joyce’s novel, noting the significance of Yeats’s mysticism to the protagonist of Stephen Hero, and its persistence in A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man later. The essay considers the theme of flight in relation to the poetry volume that is addressed directly in the novel, Yeats’s 1899 collection, The Wind Among the Reeds. In the process, the influence of Yeats’s thought and style is observed both in Stephen Dedalus’s forms of expression and in the means through which Joyce conveys them. Particular attention is drawn to the notion of enchantment in the novel, and its relation to the literature of the Irish Revival. The later part of the essay turns to the 1899 performance of Yeats’s play, The Countess Cathleen, at the Antient Concert Rooms in Dublin, and Joyce’s memory of the performance as represented through Stephen towards the end of the novel.

  • Cumann Na Mban: During the Easter Rising
    Cumann na mBan: During the Easter Rising Dylan Savoie Junior Division Individual Documentary Process Paper: 500 words Once I learned about National History Day, I immediately wanted to do something related to my Irish heritage seeing as my mother was born in Ireland. In my research, I found the Easter Rising. Now that I had narrowed my selection down, I began to dig deeper, and I came across an Irish women's group, Cumann na mBan, that helped greatly in the Rising but has gone largely unnoticed in history. I tried to have a wide range of research. First, I began by searching for a video about Cumann na mBan. I had found an RTE documentary on the Easter Rising of 1916. It was in that documentary that I came across Fr. Oliver Rafferty, a professor at Boston College. I was able to obtain his email address, contact him, and we had a phone interview. I searched websites and books at my local and Boston Public Library, taking notes and citing them in Noodletools as I went. The Burns Library at Boston College has the most extensive Irish History collection outside of Ireland, so in January, I went there too and was able to obtain many primary sources. In February, I went to Boston College and interviewed Fr. Rafferty in person. I was able to talk with him and combine what I had learned in my research to understand my topic in more depth than I had before. After I collected my research, I decided that my project would be best represented in the form of a documentary.

TCD, the Alma Mater of Bram Stoker Twhose centenary is celebrated this year is appropriately the starting point for the walk as many of those featured in the walk were educated there including the lyricist Thomas Moore whose adjacent statue provides the second stop on the tour. This is the first of the many of the statues and memorials to famous Irish people and events which shaped the city’s and Ireland’s history that this years walk will visit. At each of the selected memorials a relevant tune, song or poem will be per- formed by Góilín regulars or festival guests maintaining Frank Harte’s belief that ‘those in power write the history and those who suffer write the songs’. The route this year will explore historic College Green then saunter up Grafton Street and its environs into St Stephens Green and continue along Merrion Row, turn into Merrion Street to Merrion Square to the last stop at the memorial to Oscar Wilde. The walkers are invited to then proceed to O’Donoghue’s of Merrion Row where the music and songs of the Dubliners will be fondly remembered. The theme of this year’s walk is Dublin Can Be Heaven better known as The Dublin Saunter – a song made famous by Dublin actor and entertainer Noel Purcell who was born in the Grafton Street vicinity.
