Was there an Enlightenment in Ireland? Was there even a distinctively Irish Enlightenment? Few scholars have bothered even to pose this question. Historians of Ireland during the era of Protestant Ascendancy have tended to be all-rounders rather than specialists; their traditional preoccupations are constitutional clashes between London and Dublin, religious conflict, agrarian unrest and popular politicization. With few exceptions there has been no tradition of intellectual history, and little interest in the methodological debates associated with the rise of the “Cambridge school”. Most advances in our understanding of Irish philosophical writing have consequently originated outside Ireland's history departments. One by-product of recent work on the Scottish Enlightenment has been the rediscovery of the “Molesworth Circle” by two scholars engaged in a painstaking reconstruction of Francis Hutcheson's early career in Dublin. At the other end of the century, meanwhile, some of the most exciting and ambitious attempts to conceptualize the republicanism of the United Irishmen have come from a leading historian of revolutionary France, James Livesey. His previous research on the “commercial republicanism” of Montesquieu, Adam Ferguson and Brissot has suggested a new framework for understanding Irish radicals such as Wolfe Tone, Thomas Addis Emmet and, in particular, Arthur O'Connor.

ABSTRACTThis paper investigates the way in which the ‘problem of poverty’ in Ireland was encountered, constructed and debated by members of the Irish intellectual and political elite in the decades between the Great Famine and the outbreak of the land war in the late 1870s. This period witnessed acute social upheavals in Ireland, from the catastrophic nadir of the Famine, through the much-vaunted economic recovery of the 1850s–1860s, to the near-famine panic of the late 1870s (itself prefigured by a lesser agricultural crisis in 1859–63). The paper focuses on how a particular elite group – the ‘Dublin School’ of political economists and their circle, and most prominently William Neilson Hancock and John Kells Ingram – sought to define and investigate the changing ‘problem’, shape public attitudes towards the legitimacy of welfare interventions and lobby state officials in the making of poor law policy in this period. It suggests that the crisis of 1859–63 played a disproportionate role in the reevaluation of Irish poor relief and in promoting a campaign for an ‘anglicisation’ of poor law measures and practice in Ireland.

John Brannigan is Professor at the School of English, Drama and Film at University College Dublin. He has research interests in the twentieth-century literatures of Ireland, England, Scotland, and Wales, with a particular focus on the relationships between literature and social and cultural identities. His first book, New Historicism and Cultural Materialism (1998), was a study of the leading historicist methodologies in late twentieth-century literary criticism. He has since published two books on the postwar history of English literature (2002, 2003), leading book-length studies of working-class authors Brendan Behan (2002) and Pat Barker (2005), and the first book to investigate twentieth-century Irish literature and culture using critical race theories, Race in Modern Irish Literature and Culture (2009). His most recent book, Archipelagic Modernism: Literature in the Irish and British Isles, 1890-1970 (2014), explores new ways of understanding the relationship between literature, place and environment in 20th-century Irish and British writing. He was editor of the international peer-reviewed journal, Irish University Review, from 2010 to 2016.

In September 1831, the newly elected liberal Whig government under Earl Grey introduced an experiment of national education in Ireland aimed at uniting Catholics and Protestants in one general system. Schools were officially non-denominational but provision was made for separate religious instruction at designated times under the superintendence of the respective churches. It was a response to ten years of intensive lobbying by the Irish Catholic Church, and over twenty years of public and parliamentary debate, seeking a school system supported by State funds which would explicitly prohibit interference with the religious convictions of children.

As a prelude to the paper it should be stated that its genesis originates in conference presentations delivered on two separate occasions to two separate audiences. The first was to a mixed group of teacher educators, Roman Catholic priests and nuns, as well as others from diverse religious traditions, at a one-day conference on religion and pluralism held in Dublin, Republic of Ireland. The expressed focus for this conference was ‘inter-faith’ but with the addition of a secular dimension. The second presentation was to an international group largely comprised of comparative education scholars in Glasgow, Scotland. Although the two presentations were broadly similar in content the Dublin paper had a distinct orientation. Given that the publicly-funded Irish school system was characterised by a strong involvement of religion (Department of Education and Skills, 2017) – in particular, that of the Roman Catholic Church, the dominant tradition in that country – the Dublin presentation pursued an approach which sought to widen the educational agenda. Specifically, it focused upon the continuing discussion concerning the role of secularity in school systems where confessional approaches to religion were sanctioned by the central state. On the other hand, the Glasgow presentation was more ‘academic’ in tone, seeking to re-position secularity and religion in a non-oppositional relationship which was, in turn, argued to be functional for 21st education systems.

Since the mid-1990s, schools in many parts of Ireland have experienced an unprecedented increase in the level of linguistic and cultural diversity among pupils. This paper describes an innovative approach to integrated language learning that was developed in a primary school in West Dublin in response to this phenomenon. To ensure inclusion of all pupils and to support them in reaching their full potential, pupils’ plurilingual repertoires are welcomed. Two overarching goals to language teaching and learning inform the whole-school language policy that seeks to: • ensure that all pupils become proficient1 in the language of schooling • exploit the linguistic diversity of the school for the benefit of all pupils (Council of Europe [CoE] 2001: 4; Garcia 2017: 18). Classroom procedures that facilitate inclusion of home languages in curriculum delivery and the needs of pupils who are endeavouring to learn English as an additional language are described. The importance of literacy is highlighted as is teacher, pupil, and parent cooperation. In addition to high levels of achievement in standardised tests of English and Maths, additional outcomes are identified including enhancement of the Irish language, a developing culture of learner autonomy, and the cultivation of pupil confidence and social cohesion.

Abstract The first chapter constructs an unfamiliar portrait of Yeats—the famous autodidact—as a fledgling poet who was educated at art school in Dublin. The opening section documents Yeats’s art school years at the Dublin Metropolitan School of Art and later the Royal Hibernian Academy. It outlines how Yeats’s art school training in the mid-1880s put him in contact with John Hughes and Oliver Sheppard who would become the foremost Irish sculptors of the early twentieth century. By tracing his time at art school, the chapter recovers Yeats’s earliest exposure to the visual arts; sketching from casts of classical statues, and comparing antique and modern artworks. Subsequent sections compare Yeats’s earliest poems, The Island of Statues, ekphrastic verses, and verse fragments, with his later recollections of the Metropolitan School of Art and Royal Hibernian Academy in Reveries over Childhood and Youth, a 1906 committee deposition, and his draft Memoirs, arguing that a poetics of sculpture offered Yeats a creative escape from the dry, academic neoclassicism of his art schooling. The art writing of Yeats and George Russell (Æ)—another art school student—in the Daily Express promoted the sculpture of Sheppard and Hughes in the 1890s to early 1900s. The later sections propose a reciprocal relationship between Irish sculpture and poetry of the Revival, tracing Yeats and Russell’s reinterpretation of Matthew Arnold and his critique of the Celtic plastic arts, and closing with an examination of Sheppard’s unpublished essay on public sculpture in Ireland.

Abstract John Dunton, an entrepreneurial bookseller from London, boasted of the auctions that he organized in Dublin during the 1690s. He claimed to have imported into Ireland ‘a general collection of the most valuable pieces in Divinity, History, Philosophy, Law, Physick, Mathematicks, Horsemanship, Merchandize, Limning, Military Discipline, Heraldry, Musick, Fortification, Fireworks, Husbandry, Gardening, Romances, Novels, Poems, Plays, School-books and Bibles ‘. Dunton named some who had bought these works at his auctions. The list was headed by St George Ashe, a learned and welltravelled cleric, soon promoted from the provostship of Trinity College to the northern bishopric of Clogher (see Figure 4). Next came a pair of Church of Ireland clergymen, both of them also prominent schoolmasters.

Abstract By the early ninth century the Christianization of society was complete. So, at least, is the impression given by the Martyrology of Óengus, a calendar of saints’ days written c.830 in Irish verse at the monastery of Tallaght near Dublin. The prologue to this work celebrates the triumph of Christianity: whereas the pagan rulers of Ireland and their fortresses had passed away, the renown of saints such as Patrick, Ciarán, and Brigit was greater than ever, reflected in powerful churches that resembled flourishing cities.

The Irish monologue play (in English) arguably reached its apex in the 1990s and Noughties. Yet this still-popular form is strangely absent in the Irish-language theatrical tradition. This absence is all the more striking given the role attributed to the Irish oral tradition that seems to haunt the English-language monologue form in Ireland. As in much of her other creative work – dramatic, musical, and poetic – Celia de Fréine is in this regard a ground-breaker and paradigm shifter. Her 2016 Irish-language monologue Luíse focuses on Luíse Ghabhánach Ní Dhufaigh who established Scoil Bhríde, Ireland’s first Irish-language immersion school in Dublin. The play explores the life, times, and socio-political views of this remarkable woman in a way that captures her energy, vision, and independence of mind. This chapter demonstrates that the monologue form is the ideal one for this topic but also offers a potentially rich tool for Irish-language theatre.

The outstanding popular success of the 1964 Dublin Theatre Festival was a play which graphically confronted the actuality of contemporary sexual harassment, abuse of male power, and hypocritical social mores, and which included the graphic depictions of Magdalen laundries and casual prostitution in urban and rural Ireland. Yet Máiréad Ní Ghráda’s An Triail and its translation On Trial have become all but invisible to the professional Irish stage and absent from any broad discussion of institutional abuse over the past decade, despite becoming a prescribed text on the school syllabus in 2003. This chapter assesses the importance of both plays through their performance histories and situates their marginalisation in the context of both the exclusion of women authors from the canon, and also to the diminished status of Irish language cultural output in popular discourse.

Abstract Seamus Heaney and Michael Longley are, I do not hesitate to assert, two of the finest poets of our times in the English language. Moreover, they are a pair, twins—yet, like Amphion and Zethos, contrasting twins. It is an extraordinary fact that they were born within four months of each other in 1939 (the year of W. B. Yeats’s death), and within forty miles of each other, Longley in the city of Belfast and Heaney on the family farm in County Derry. Yet divergences are there from the start. Heaney came from a practising Catholic family (what might be termed ‘Irish Irish’); he won a scholarship to a select school, run by priests, and went on to read English at the local University, Queen’s Belfast, where he duly attained the prize for the best first class of his year. Longley’s parents were English, Anglican but not particularly religious: so he was not a ‘Protestant’ in the local sense of ‘non-conformist Scots Irish’. He went to a prestigious Belfast school, much like an English Grammar School, and on to read Classics at Trinity College, Dublin, which was still in some ways a little patch of England in the heart of Ireland.

Born Elizabeth Dorothea Cole Bowen in Dublin, Ireland, on 7 June 1899, the influential and celebrated Anglo-Irish author Elizabeth Bowen produced a body of work that initially comprised fiction (novels and short stories) and later historical essays and memoirs. While growing up, Bowen spent her summers at Bowen’s Court in Kildorrery, County Cork, the family home of her father, the barrister Henry Charles Cole Bowen. Beginning in 1905 Henry Bowen suffered from a series of nervous breakdowns that resulted in him being hospitalised. On the recommendation of her father’s doctors, Bowen and her mother Florence moved away and relocated to Hythe, on the Kent coast, in 1907. The pair then moved constantly around England and Ireland, living in coastal houses with a succession of relatives and friends until 1912, when Florence died of cancer. Following her mother’s death, when she was not attending boarding school at Downe House in Kent, Bowen was cared for by various aunts and family friends. After finishing school in 1917, she worked in a hospital where she cared for shell-shocked veterans of the First World War. After the war, Bowen attended the London County Council School of Art; while attending art school, she also wrote, eventually leaving off the visual arts and turning her attention entirely to writing.
