    Extractions: Irish Literature The Otherworld Voyage in Irish Literature and History edited by Jonathan Wooding (Four Courts Press) Prominent in the literature of early Ireland are the tales known as echtrai (adventures) and immrama (voyages), stories telling of journeys to an otherworld or paradise. These tales have long held a fascination for both scholars and general readers, despite the absence of a convenient introductory volume to the genre. This anthology presents a selection of the most important critical studies of the voyage genre along with some new studies of key aspects. A general introduction surveys the history and priorities of investigation into the genre and a comprehensive bibliography provides an important tool for further study. Containing a selection of the most important critical studies for an understanding of the Irish voyage tales, this anthology will be of interest and use to teachers and students of early Irish history and literature, comparative literature and mythology. This volume presents a selection of studies, spanning nearly a century

    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.

    http://www.duke.edu/~jbm1/final1.txt
    
    Extractions: Mac McGuire Irish Lit. of the 20th Century May 5, 1997 Irish Literature Final – Part One One of the main themes in Irish literature is the struggle for personal identity. This struggle can be perceived by the main character as a crisis against the world, an antiquated perception of Irish tradition and culture or the church. However, the most common struggle is the internal personal one, and this is usually inexorably intertwined with the aforementioned Irish institutions and problems. The personal struggle manifests itself differently depending upon the period of the literary work and the author who wrote it. In playwright J.M. Synge’s Playboy of the Western World, the character of Christy is a man searching for identity. For his whole life, he had been defined by what his father wanted him to be, and only when he finally found the relative freedom of Pegeen Mike’s company did he finally start to develop some kind of identity that could be called his own, even if it was a false one. This image of an emerging identity is carried out throughout the play. Christy is portrayed as looking at himself in several mirrors. This an attempt on Christy’s part to define himself – to give himself an identity. Christy’s first act of any type of individualism is when he hits his father over the head and thinks that he has killed him. This is the beginning of the definition of Christy, and his tale of murdering his father is what causes the initial changes in him. He makes the transition from a meek son to a town’s hero. However, these changes are not all surface changes as it would appear. By the third act of the play, Christy has truly changed, even after the townsfolk uncover the facts surrounding him. Regardless of this, Christy has still overcome the struggle for identity. In Flann O’Brien’s At Swim-Two-Birds, the narrator is struggling for a dose of identity as well. He has a general distaste for the world, and looks at everyone with a skeptics eye. The narrator has a totally different way of helping to define himself. He is a writer, and the characters in his writings reflect certain parts of him. Beyond that, these characters also represent parts of Irish history/society. There is Trellis, the obese author and Finn McCool, the ancient Irish super hero. They themselves are representatives of modern Irish literature (Trellis: bloated to the point of being a mockery of himself, and surrounded by those who manipulate him) and the older, more traditional type of Irish mythological literature (McCool: seen as the smartest, wisest, he is very hubristic, much of what he says is boring though, and he sort of decomposes through the story). In the narrator’s real life, he treats everything as if it were in a novel, and the only way in which the reader can learn about the narrator is through his third person observations of his own life and those around him – in particular his uncle. This quality fused with the narrator’s writing provide the foundation upon which the narrator evolves himself. Although he is enrolled in college, he doesn’t go very often, and most of the time he finds himself in bed. The narrator shirked off college as a possible mode for growth and instead has internalized his struggle for personal identity and put it in the form of the novel he is writing, so that these two events may parallel each other and the reader is let in on the struggle through reading the texts. By the end of At Swim-Two-Birds, the narrator has found some deeper kind of personal meaning and his relationship with his uncle improves immensely. In John Banville’s The Book of Evidence, the main character, Freddie, is living his whole life without existence (at least in his mind). He is detached from life, and he cannot reconcile his own feelings, wishes, and desires with the things that compose the real world. His marriage is not formed from what one would call love on his part, it is more of an understanding. He does not seem to recognize that he has any real effect on the world. In one paragraph, he describes a time when he was a child and a branch fell on him. He recalls that if it would have killed him, nothing in the world would have changed. In Freddie, there is a complete separation between his mind and the rest of the world (his own physical body and actions as well as everyone else and their minds). Freddie lives in a dreamland, where he doesn’t really work, and the consequences of his actions don’t matter to him. He gets the American’s ear cut off, he abandons his wife and child, and he long since abandoned his mother. Because of the detachment he feels, he does not realize the effects of his actions. The peak of this is when he murders the woman with the hammer. He says that he killed her because to him, she was not alive, and when he is arrested, he is not worried, he merely acts as if the whole situation is a movie, and it is strangely gratifying to him. Freddie tries to figure out why he did it, and The Book of Evidence is his attempt to put meaning into his actions and into his own life, so that he will not be seen as purely a cold killer. The ”evidence” is proof that he actually did have an effect on the world (whether it was positive or not) and is also an attempt by Freddie to define himself in some way. It is written as a sort of journal his defense, but Freddie knows it will not be seen by anyone, so it is in effect just a part of Freddie’s struggle to make him part of society (to give himself a personal identity and to inject a sense of humanity into him). These novels/plays may also be seen as allegories with Ireland. At various times, Ireland has struggled to reinvent itself in many different ways, but it has almost always been attached to writing in some fashion, or documented by it. The people in Ireland have tried to define themselves using ancient Irish tradition and more modern ones, and in recent times a sort of malaise has settled over Ireland because of lack of wealth, occupation, and political violence. Freddie is a symbol of those who are disaffected in some ways. So are the narrator of At Swim-Two-Birds, and Christy’s struggle for identity also contains a few political messages. The theme of a struggle for personal identity has a very important and vital role in Irish literature.
