Abstract:
Tom O'Flaherty's unpublished novel Red Crom's Island is a distinctly political potboiler that envisions the Gaeltacht as a potential centre for leftist revolutionary activity. By comparison, O'Flaherty's two Anglophone short stories collections, Aranmen All and Cliffmen of the West, seem to eschew socialist politics in favour of ethnographic depictions of the Aran Islands. When read in conjunction, however, the novel appears to be a source for the short fiction, which prompts a reevaluation of the politics at work in both collections. In this article, I argue that reading the unpublished and published work in tandem with archival correspondences involving officials from the Irish Free State reveals the ways in which O'Flaherty sought to articulate the necessity of socialist values for the survival of the Aran Islands at a time in the 1930s when anti-Communist sentiment and distaste for socialism was on the rise in Ireland.

Abstract:
AbstractChallenging the established poetic idea of Ireland as a unified whole, new Irish poetry encourages a perspective toward homeland alongside with a corresponding revision of Irish subjectivity as liminality. Introduced by Homi Bhabha as a postcolonial cultural term, the idea privileges hybrid cultures and challenges solid or authentic ones. Moreover, this liminal rationale entails a corresponding chronotopic rendition, as Bakhtin intends to theorize it, whereby the notion of spatio-temporality assists the poet in rethinking the Irish identity. An archeologist shrouded as a poet, Heaney’s early work, North (1975), is an attempt to reterritorialize the Motherland while Station Island (1984) represents the deterritorialization of the land, a collection in which Heaney proposes an alternative notion of Irish identity. The present study seeks to show how Heaney’s aforementioned poetry collections manifest a transition from a patently nationalist reception of land to a tendency to liminal spaces. Hence, a critical juxtaposition of these two works bears witness to an endeavor to move beyond the solid, reductionist perspective of the unified Ireland into a state of liminality with respect to Bhabha’s idea of hybridity. Furthermore, it is argued how Bakhtin’s idea of chronotope can accommodate to the accomplishment of such a poetic project.

Abstract:
Abstract Drawing on extensive research in Arts Council and government archives in Belfast and the collections of Seamus Heaney’s manuscripts, this essay reconstructs for the first time Northern Irish state cultural policy at the height of the crisis years 1968–1972. It also examines the response of a major poet to this policy, through a genetic mapping of the complex development of Heaney’s poem ‘The Last Mummer’, between 1969 and its publication in 1972. The poem refers to the mumming plays practiced at Christmas when troupes of young men, or ‘Rhymers’ would enter and perform in the houses of both communities in the North. This practice also informed ‘Room to Rhyme’, the Arts Council sponsored 1968 tour of several towns in Northern Ireland by Heaney and Michael Longley and the folk musician Davy Hammond. The make-up of the performers on the tour, the itinerary and accompanying booklet, suggest a deliberate attempt on the part of the Arts Council Northern Ireland to assert a role for itself, and for culture, in the political thaw of the time. In the years immediately after the tour, however, major confrontations between civil rights marches and police, widespread sectarian rioting and ultimately troops on the streets, resulted in even more extreme polarization in the North. As this essay shows, Heaney’s manuscripts from this period provide a valuable resource for the examination of the relationship between poetry, the public sphere and notions of cultural tradition in early 1970s Northern Ireland.

Abstract:
This essay examines the present state of affairs concerning “one of the great literary manuscripts of our time, the great vellum notebook” that Sotheby’s advertised and sold for the first time in 1985. That sale and a subsequent one in 1990 are related to the contents of the notebook as ascertained from finding aids used by the editors of the Cornell Yeats series, including Chapman, as well as from the examination of extant microfilms of the notebook, the location of the original having been lost. Particularly useful for new and on-going textual-genetic studies in Yeats collections at the National Library of Ireland and elsewhere, part III (“Yeats’s White Vellum Notebook [‘MBY 545’]: An Inventory”) lists all poems, plays, essays, introductions, prefaces, notes, diary entries, and materials for A Vision as they occur by page and folio position within the manuscript notebook, as well as within the Cornell series if, to date, corresponding reproductions and/or transcriptions have appeared there.

Abstract:
The dialogic nature of language use and the impossibility of an uninfluenced work of literature complicate the notion of poet-as-originator. Yet originality persists as a sought-after quality in literature for both writers and readers. The article focuses on the Northern Irish poet, writer, and translator Ciaran Carson, known for his fascination with language as a medium and his linguistic experimentalism. In 1998, Carson published two collections of poetry: The Alexandrine Plan, translations of sonnets by Mallarmé, Baudelaire and Rimbaud, and The Twelfth of Never, a sequence of his own sonnets – both in rhyming alexandrines, suggestive of simultaneous composition. In its borrowed form, The Twelfth of Never offers a kaleidoscopic montage of motifs and discourses from Irish history, literature, folklore, music, and myth, and flits to and fro between Ireland, France, and Japan, evoking a never-land in which “everything is metaphor and simile”. The article adopts a neuro-anthropological view of human culture as distributed cognition and of art as a way of knowing and self-reflectively putting the world together for both artist and audience. The analysis of Carson’s poems seeks to explicate how recognisable characters, emblems, and rhetoric appear in and are altered by unfamiliar guises and settings; how cultural symbols and literary forms are interrupted in the act of representing; and how the dreamlike quality of the collection depends on the looping and metamorphosing of motifs, images and voices from one poem to another. I suggest that this does not generate a chaotic textual product but amounts to an engaging reflection on the nature of originality in the making and making sense of poetry.

Abstract:
In this essay, the role of the National Library of Ireland in collecting and preserving the manucripts of twentieth-century Irish poets is considered, together with the Library's acquisition policy and methods of selection, collection, and cataloguing. Does the Library fulfil its stated aim and statutory function, ‘to provide an accurate record of Ireland's output in manuscript, print and other media for present and future users’? Is the Library as active as it should be in acquiring literary manuscripts? Which poets’ papers are acquired and made available to readers? Who gets ‘in’ and who is left ‘out’, and why? Does the Library's manuscript collection accurately represent twentieth-century Irish poetry? What in fact is ‘an accurate record of Ireland's output in manuscript?’ These and other complex issues are discussed in the article, some facts and figures adduced, and some suggestions made. The essay includes a personal memory of the process of acquiring one poetry archive, that of Eithne Strong, and comments by a scholar on the significance of the Dorothy Molloy papers, also held in the Library, for her understanding of the poet's work.

Abstract:
This essay shall examine the relationship that exists between Irish studies and queer theory via a consideration of three recently published works, both academic and literary. The texts that shall be reviewed are: Eibhear Walshe's Oscar's Shadow: Wilde, Homosexuality and Modern Ireland, Aintzane Legarreta Mentxaka's Kate O'Brien and the Fiction of Identity: Sex, Art and Politics in Mary Lavelle and Other Writings, and the new collection of plays, edited by Fintan Walshe, entitled Queer Notions. The association between Irishness and otherness (a connection explicitly stated by Oscar Wilde) means that the shadow of queerness haunts Ireland and Irish studies. The works being examined in this essay illuminate some of the forms (among many) ‘queer Irish studies’ can take.

Abstract:
Scholars have rightly asserted that the cannibal motif of Jonathan Swift's A Modest Proposal is the mechanism by which the author covertly addresses colonialist pillaging in Ireland. Less attention has been paid to an unresolved problem, that of the satire's audience. This article claims that its publication in Dublin at the height of the Irish parliamentary session of 1729 suggests that Anglo-Irish legislators were its target readers. If so, the figure of the cannibal may signify how national debt and the mortgaging of future public revenues needed to amortize that debt metaphorically devoured the posterity of the colonized Irish natives. Given that the famine conditions of 1729 had reduced revenues and produced a crisis in paying Ireland's “debt of the nation,” the satire's calendar for the harvesting and slaughtering of Ireland's babies could be taken as mimicry of the debates over how to raise new taxes and schedule their collection and expenditure.

Palko, Abigail L. "Queer Seductions of the Maternal in Dorothy Macardle's Earth-bound." Irish University Review 46, no. 2 (November 2016): 287–308. http://dx.doi.org/10.3366/iur.2016.0228.

Full text
Abstract:
During her lifetime, Dorothy Macardle was a prominent public intellectual in both her native Ireland and post-war Europe. Her passionate engagement in Irish nationalism found expression in her writing; in her only collection of short stories, Earth-bound: Nine Stories of Ireland, published early in her writing career, she protests Irish women's socially restricted status and offers literary models of female solidarity to her audience (her fellow prisoners in Kilmainham Gaol, where she was imprisoned during the Civil War). Complex and ambiguous messages regarding maternal attitudes and female sexuality are encoded within the collection, particularly in the two Maeve stories (as I have labelled them because of their shared narrator), ‘The Return of Niav’ and ‘The Portrait of Roisin Dhu’, in which she offers coded expressions of the realities of women's lives in early twentieth-century Ireland that the larger public would have preferred remain unspoken, particularly with regard to expressions of maternal inclinations and female sexuality. Earth-bound, driven by her reactions to the many ways that the Irish struggle for national autonomy was purchased by the sacrifice of female autonomy, becomes a vehicle through which she explores socially taboo issues, most notably mothering practices and both heterosexual and homosexual expressions of female sexuality.

Abstract:
This volume presents thirteen articles characterized by diversity, multiple analyses from different perspectives, both in the literary field and in the historical one. It is, therefore, a miscellaneous collection that, however, offers common aspects, mainly derived from the application of cultural studies, postcolonial perspectives and other theoretical currents to literature. Several countries are represented in the studies compiled in this special issue of Oceánide. From Australia to the United States, taking in Spain and, in particular, Galicia. Most of the contributions included in this volumen, however, are devoted to Ireland and most, although not all, to the contemporary literature of this country.

Abstract:
This chapter on the Nation newspaper showcases nationalist belief in the value of education – particularly education in history – in forging a self-governing citizenry. It argues that many nationalists – in particular the Young Ireland movement of the 1840s – saw it as their patriotic duty to give the Irish people the ‘national’ education that the British government was deliberately preventing them from receiving. The core subject of this education was history, which they believed would help to create the ‘imagined community’ of the nation by nourishing collective memory and reinforcing national allegiances and obligations, so that the Irish would see themselves as a distinct people rooted in the struggles and sacrifices of the past. This they attempted to do by propagating a heroic and celebratory narrative of Ireland’s struggle for independence through cheap and accessible ballad collections, historical works presented in the ‘Library of Ireland’ and in newspapers such as the Nation. Hand in hand with the provision of reading materials, Young Ireland also sought to promote literacy through the establishment of reading rooms stocked with nationalist literature to supplement or supplant official educational initiatives. Literacy was envisaged as catalyzing an informed citizenry who would insist that they should govern their own destiny.

Abstract:
In the years immediately prior to, and of, the Second World War textual glimmers of an unnamed Roger Casement can be detected in a preoccupation with the ghostly return of Irish history. As Ireland grappled with what role she could or should play in the (impending) war, a role complicated immeasurably by the precarious border and new Northern statelet, numerous authors grappled with an Irish history compromised by unclear allegiances and betrayal. This chapter uses a collection of mid-twentieth century texts – James Joyce’s Finnegans Wake (1939), Jorge Luis Borges’ ‘The Theme of the Traitor and the Hero’ (1944) and Elizabeth Bowe’s The Heat of the Day (1948) – to map how the interlinking preoccupations of espionage, betrayal and, frequently, sexual intimacy, are deeply connected, implicitly or explicitly, to the haunting spectre of Casement.
