Nuala Ní Dhomhnaill Papers MS.1997.012 - Page 4 - Biographical/Historical note Poet Nuala Ní Dhomhnaill was born in Lancashire, England in 1952 to Irish parents, who worked as doctors in an Irish mining community there. Her family spoke Irish at home. When she was five years old, her family moved to Nenagh, County Tipperary, Ireland. Although her family lived there for fifteen years, Ní Dhomhnaill felt more at home with her aunt in Cahiratrant, a small village in Ventry, County Kerry, where she was immersed the Irish language. At twelve, Ní Dhomhnaill attended Catholic boarding school and began the practice of writing daily in Irish. Ní Dhomhnaill studied English and Irish at University College Cork, where she met Dogan Leflef, a Turkish geologist. The two were married in 1973 and had four children together. After her marriage, Ní Dhomhnaill lived in Turkey for seven years. She returned to Ireland in 1980, and, within a year, she had published her first book of poems in Irish: An Dealg Droighin (1981). She has since published volumes of poetry, including Rogha Dánta / Selected Poems (1990) with facing translations by Michael Hartnett; The Astrakhan Cloak (1992) and The Fifty Minute Mermaid (2007) with translations by Paul Muldoon; The Water Horse (1999) with translations by Medbh McGuckian and Eiléan Ní Chuilleanáin; and Pharoah’s Daughter (1993) with translations by Seamus Heaney, John Montague, Ciaran Carson, Michael Longley, Derek Mahon, and others. In 2002, Ní Dhomhnaill edited and introduced the Contemporary Poetry section of The Field Day Anthology of Irish Women’s Writing (2002), which includes poems by Biddy Jenkinson, Eavan Boland, Nuala Archer, Máire Mhac an tSaoi, Rita Ann Higgins, Vona Groarke, and many others. Ní Dhomhnaill has served as visiting professor at Trinity College Dublin, University College Dublin, and Queen’s University Belfast, as well as Smith College, Villanova University, New York University, and Boston College. In addition to teaching, she has traveled to give lectures and readings all over the world. Extensive scholarly research informs her work, which delves into multicultural poetry, mythologies, spiritualties, and folktales. Ní Dhomhnaill's identification with Cahiratrant has been lifelong; the culture and landscapes of that locale frequently serving as an inspiration and a backdrop for her poetry. Nuala Ní Dhomhnaill lives in Dublin. She continues to write, teach, and travel. Sources: Ní Dhomhnaill, Nuala, and Frawley, Oona, Ed. Selected Essays. Dublin: New Island, 2005.

  • Women Writers of the Troubles
    Women Writers of The Troubles Britta Olinder, University of Gothenburg Abstract During the thirty years of the Troubles in Northern Ireland, writing by women was difficult to find, especially concerning the conflict and its violence. The publication of the first three heavy volumes of The Field Day Anthology of Irish Writing towards the end of that period demonstrated the blindness of its male editors to female writing, leading to another two volumes focusing on women and also presenting more than expected on the conflict itself. Through looking at a selection of prose, poretry and drama written by women, this article wishes to illuminate a number of relevant issues such as: How have female writers reacted to the hate and violence, the social and political insecurity in their writing of poetry, plays and fiction? Is Robert Graecen’s question ‘Does violence stimulate creativity?’—in a letter to the Irish Times (18 Jun. 1974)—relevant also for women? In this very partial exploration, I have chosen to discuss a novel by Jennifer Johnston (Shadows on Our Skin, 1977) and one by Deirdre Madden (One by One in the Darkness, 1996), a well-known short story by Mary Beckett (‘A Belfast Woman,’ 1980), together with plays by Anne Devlin (Ourselves Alone, 1986) and Christina Reid (Tea in a China Cup, 1987), as well as poetry, by, among others, Meta Mayne Reid, Eleanor Murray, Fleur Adcock and Sinéad Morrissey. Keywords: women writers; violence; conflict; The Troubles; Jennifer Johnston; Deirdre Madden; Mary Beckett; Anne Devlin; Christina Reid; Meta Mayne Reid; Eleanor Murray; Fleur Adcock; Sinéad Morrissey The blood-dimmed tide is loosed, and everywhere The ceremony of innocence is drowned; The best lack all conviction, while the worst Are full of passionate intensity.

McCurry: "Our Lady, dispossessed": Female Ulster Poets and Sexual Politics "Our1/Our Lady, dispossessed": Female Ulster Poets and Sexual Politics by JACQUELINE MCCURRY OETRY AND POLITICS, like church and state, should be separated," writes P Belfast critic Edna Longley (185); in Eire and in Northern Ireland this is not the case: the marriage of church and state in the Republic has resulted in constitutional bans on divorce and on abortion; Northern Ireland's Scots­ Presbyterian majority continues to preventminority Irish-Catholic citizens from having full participationin society. Butwhile mencontinue to control church and state, women have begun to raise their voices in poetry and in protest. Northern Ireland's new poets, through the 1960s and 1970s, were exclusively male: Jan1es Simmons, Seamus Heaney, Michael Longley, Derek Mahon, Paul Muldoon, Seamus Deane, Frank Ormsby, Tom Paulin, and Ciaran Carson dominated the literary scene until the early 1980s. In 1982 Medbh McGuckian published her first book ofpoetry. Since then, she has published two additional collections and achieved international fame, while younger women poets like Janet Shepperson and Ruth Hooley have made their debuts in print.

  • Beckett and His Biographer: an Interview with James Knowlson José Francisco Fernández (Almería, Spain)
    The European English Messenger, 15.2 (2006) Beckett and His Biographer: An Interview with James Knowlson José Francisco Fernández (Almería, Spain) James Knowlson is Emeritus Professor of French at the University of Reading. He is also the founder of the International Beckett Foundation (previously the Beckett Archive) at Reading, and he has written extensively on the great Irish author. He began his monumental biography, Damned to Fame:The Life of Samuel Beckett (London: Bloomsbury, 1996) when Beckett was still alive, and he relied on the Nobel Prize winner’s active cooperation in the last months of his life. His book is widely acknowledged as the most accurate source of information on Beckett’s life, and can only be compared to Richard Ellmann’s magnificent biography of James Joyce. James Knowlson was interviewed in Tallahassee (Florida) on 11 February 2006, during the International Symposium “Beckett at 100: New Perspectives” held in that city under the sponsorship of Florida State University. I should like to express my gratitude to Professor Knowlson for giving me some of his time when he was most in demand to give interviews in the year of Beckett’s centennial celebrations. José Francisco Fernández JFF: Yours was the only biography on or even a reply to the earlier biography of authorised by Beckett. That must have been Deirdre Bair. It needs to stand on its own two a great responsibility. Did it represent at any feet. And I read with great fascination the time a burden? Knowing that what you wrote biography of Deirdre Bair and have never said would be taken as ‘the truth’.

Martin Heidegger, The Origin ofthe Work ofArt Flames have only lungs. Water is all eyes. The earth has bone for muscle.... But anxiety can find no metaphor to end it. A.K. Ramanujan, "Anxiety" HE POSITION OF THE SUBJECT, of history and landscape are the central Tthemes of any essay on the aesthetics of contemporary Irish poetry and often provoke as many questions as answers. To give specific weight to some broad theoretical analysis, this essay shall closely examine a selection of works. Before detailed discussion of the texts, the idea of a postcolonial aes­ thetic should be defined. The two important frames are provided first by a correlation between Fanon and Kant and second by various ideas of the psy­ choanalytical sublime. Politically, there are three Fanonite/Kantian stages to what is here termed the postcolonial sublime; it is an aesthetic that aligns Fanon's dialectic of decolonization, from occupation, through nationalism, to liberation with Kant's three stages of sublimity, that is, from balance between subject and object, through aesthetic violence upon the internal sense, to tran­ scendent compensation.

  • THE WOOING of CHOICE: Prosimetric Reconstruction of the Female Journey in Irish Mythology
    THE WOOING OF CHOICE: Prosimetric Reconstruction of the Female Journey in Irish mythology by Roxanne Bodsworth 2020 This thesis is submitted in fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy, Institute of Sustainable Industries and Liveable Cities, Victoria University. i Abstract: In “The Wooing of Choice: prosimetric reconstruction of the female journey in Irish mythology”, I examine the representation of female characters in Irish mythological tales where the woman chooses her lover in contravention of social expectations. In the traditional versions, the woman recedes into the background as the narrative develops around the male hero. I ask what happens to the discourse of the narrative when it is subverted so that the focus is placed upon the female experience. This is explored through a creative component, called ‘Meet Me in My World’, a prosimetric reconstruction of three Irish tales in which the woman chooses her lover and compels him to follow her. The three tales are: Aislinge Óengusso (The Dream of Óengus); Tóruigheacht Dhiarmada agus Ghráinne (The Pursuit of Diarmaid and Gráinne); and Longes mac nUislenn (The Exile of the Sons of Uisliu). The exegetical component, comprising 50% of the thesis, is composed of two sections. In the first, I examine theories of feminist writing and remythologizing, and develop a new model for feminist reconstruction, which I apply to the creative product. In the second section, I explore the relationship between narrative and poetry, from medieval prosimetric translations to contemporary hybrid texts, and consider which form provides the best framework for my female-centred narrative and the verse.

Irish Women: Uncovering Their Language of Power By Margaret Garry Burke Introduction During the summer of 1989, in a quest to explore the social evolution of Irish women since the advent of the feminist movement of the 1960s, I traveled to Ireland armed with a prepared questionnaire and a tape recorder. I chose this topic as my senior thesis for a Women’s Studies tutorial in which I had enrolled in order to complete my undergraduate studies. Along the way, in addition to the women I interviewed, I discovered the renowned Irish poet, Nuala Ni Dhomhnaill, and I unearthed my own long- buried Irish roots. When I began writing my research paper, Nuala became the natural symbol for the contemporary women of Ireland who were undergoing significant changes in attitudes.
