Extractions: Irish literature has been influencing Irish life for over two hundred years. Irish literature reflects the spirit and history of the Irish people. Irish literature has been written in English and in Gaelic. Irish literature began with historical and religious writings. Current events and history in Ireland influenced authors in their writings. These imaginative styles and philosophical themes influenced writers worldwide. There have been many important writers in the history of Irish literature. There were three major cycles in the history of Ireland. They are the Mythological cycle, the Ulster cycle, and the Fenian cycle. The Mythological Cycle was the oldest cycle which describes the invasions of Ireland by supernatural races which preceded the beginning of Irish history. The most important race was the Tuatha De Danann, who had magical powers that were used to court lovers, perform superhuman feats of courage and magical powers to win battles. The Ulster Cycle relates the deeds of heroes of ancient Ulster. This cycle focused on the great characters of the time period. The last cycle is the Fenian Cycle which has the stories of Fianna, a band of mythical Irish warriors. This cycle includes ballads, romantic tales, and sagas. This cycle also portrays the legends about the deeds of heroes. During the Middle Ages there was a great decline in the writing of Irish literature because of attacks by outside invaders. On or around 795, the Vikings raided the eastern and southern coasts of Ireland. In the process, they destroyed monasteries and Irish manuscripts. In the twelfth century, Normans from Englandseized texts and lands. Only few poems of chivalry and courtly love survived. The most known manuscript of the time was known as the Book of Kells.

Extractions: General Collection in Irish Literature The Humanities Division and Special Collections at the Morris Library of Southern Illinois University at Carbondale have worked together to develop our holdings in Irish literature. While Special Collections has more manuscripts and scarce editions than the general collection, the stacks have a broad selection of secondary material, especially on the early twentieth century. Our holdings include nearly 1,000 secondary works on James Joyce alone, as well as nearly 500 separate books by him. Forty editions by Mary Lavin are on the shelves as well as over 400 by W. B. Yeats. The holdings on other Irish artists of the period are also unusually good, including, among others, significant coverage of Samuel Beckett, George Russell, Lady Augusta Gregory, Lennox Robinson, Lord Dunsany, Liam O'Flaherty, George Moore, Brian O'Nolan, William Trevor, Padraic Colum, Sean O'Casey, and Austin Clarke. In addition to these specialized areas, the basic holdings in Irish literature are representative of a fine research library. There are over 100 books of travel and descriptive writing about Ireland as well as over 2,000 works on Irish history, society, and politics. Over 200 books discussing the economic and historical conditions of Northern Ireland alone are included in the collection. Also, Morris Library subscribes to a number of Irish and Irish-American journals including Irish Historical Studies and Eire-Ireland as well as numerous less common publications such as

http://www.maqqi.supanet.com/artsanddesign/literature.htm

Extractions: Irish Literature INTRODUCTION Does Ireland's literary heritage even require an introduction? From early works such as the epic 'Tain Bo Cuailnge' to the twentieth century and its collection of Nobel Laureates, and onward to the present day the association of Ireland and the written word amounts almost to a cliche. Yet the reputation is deserved. The names: Yeats, Shaw, O'Casey, Joyce, Swift, Burke, Heaney, Beckett... the list could continue for several lines before requiring one to resort to authors' first names; the surnames are enough for immediate recognition. Here, however, we are also interested in Ireland's other writers such as Flann O'Brien and Charles Kickham, and those who have associations with Ireland, or who wrote about this island.

Extractions: The Joyce Collection Particularly uncommon items in the Joyce collection are copies of the two broadsides, The Holy Office (1904 or 1905) and Gas from a Burner (1912), the latter bearing in holograph the author's story of the destruction of the first (Dublin) edition of Dubliners . Also present is a copy of the first edition of Ulysses in French, signed by Stuart Gilbert, who oversaw the translation, and inscribed by Joyce to his daughter Lucia on the date of issue; this copy has the novelty of bearing the strange post-mortem bookplate of the author. There is also a copy of the elusive Pomes Penyeach (Cleveland, 1931).

http://homepage.tinet.ie/~writing/045.MILSF.html

Extractions: is taken from the Clarendon Press blurb. 'Modern Irish Literature: Sources and Founders' marks the culmination of the lifetime interest of the distinguished scholar Vivian Mercier (1919-89) in the influence of Gaelic literature on modern Irish writing. Building on the insights developed in his classic The Irish Comic Tradition, in which he traced the continuity of attitudes and subjects of Irish writers from pre-Christian times to the present. Professor Mercier's focus here is on the research of nineteenth-century scholars which gave rise to the revival of Irish literature in English. Separate chapters analysing the work of writers including Bernard Shaw, Yeats, Synge, Joyce, and Beckett build to provide a fresh and timely picture of Irish literary tradition. Informed by a wealth and diversity of scholarship, and written in a highly accessible style, the book stands as a memorial to the achievement of Vivian Mercier and as an important contribution to the study of Irish literature.

Book of the month Angela's Ashes - Frank McCourt "Worse than the ordinary miserable childhood is the miserable Irish childhood," writes Frank McCourt in Angela's Ashes . "Worse yet is the miserable Irish Catholic childhood." Welcome, then, to the pinnacle of the miserable Irish Catholic childhood. Born in Brooklyn in 1930 to recent Irish immigrants Malachy and Angela McCourt, Frank grew up in Limerick after his parents returned to Ireland because of poor prospects in America. It turns out that prospects weren't so great back in the old country eithernot with Malachy for a father. A chronically unemployed and nearly unemployable alcoholic, he appears to be the model on which many of our more insulting clichés about drunken Irish manhood are based. Mix in abject poverty, and frequent death and illness, and you have all the makings of a truly difficult early life. Fortunately, in McCourt's able hands it also has all the makings of a compelling memoir. In this memoir, Frank McCourt looks back with sadness and affection at his first 18 years growing up in New York and Ireland. The book combines stories of hunger, poverty and social deprivation with a celebration of the human spirit, laughter and human kindness.
