Description

Probably the most significant poetic movement of the second half of the 19th century was French Symbolism. This movement inevitably influenced Irish writers, not least Oscar Wilde (1845–1900). Although Wilde is best known for his plays, fiction, and The Ballad of Reading Gaol, he also wrote poetry in a symbolist vein and was the first Irish writer to experiment with prose poetry. However, the overtly cosmopolitan Wilde was not to have much influence on the future course of Irish writing. W. B. Yeats was much more influential in the long run. Yeats, too, was influenced by his French contemporaries but consciously focused on an identifiably Irish content.

Lear (1812-88) is best known for his illustrated nonsense verses for children, including The Owl and the Pussy-Cat, The Jumblies, and The Quangle-Wangle’s Hat. But he was also an accomplished zoological artist, whose work made an important contribution to science; he was a landscape painter, who taught Queen Victoria to draw; and a gifted musician and composer, who published twelve of his own song settings of his friend Alfred Lord Tennyson’s poems. All of these interests – science, painting, and music – took Lear to Ireland. Below, presenter Sara Lodge tells the story of the making of the programme... In the process, we will discuss poems by: Thomas Wyatt, William Shakespeare, John Donne, Andrew Marvell, Lord Rochester, Aphra Behn, John Keats, Lord Byron, William Wordsworth, William Blake, Christina Rossetti, Robert Browning, Elizabeth Barrett Browning, Alfred Lord Tennyson, W.B.Yeats, e.e. cummings, Gertrude Stein, Mina Loy, D.H. Lawrence, Robert Graves, Gwendolyn Brooks, W.H. Auden, Elizabeth Bishop, Frank O’Hara, Seamus Heaney. Antoine Ó Raifteiri (Anthony Raftery) (1784–1835) is a recognized Irish-language folk poet of the pre-Famine period. But the tradition of literate composition persisted. The Kerry poet Tomás Rua Ó Súilleabháin (1785-1848) was a schoolmaster and dancing master; the Cork poet Mícheál Óg Ó Longáin (1766-1837) was a well-known copier of manuscripts. Paradoxically, as soon as English became the dominant language of Irish poetry, the poets began to mine the Irish-language heritage as a source of themes and techniques. J. J. Callanan (1795–1829) was born in Cork and died at a young age in Lisbon. Unlike many other more visibly nationalist poets who would follow later, he knew Irish well, and several of his poems are loose versions of Irish originals. Although extremely close to Irish materials, he was also profoundly influenced by Byron and his peers; possibly his finest poem, the title work of The Recluse of Inchidony and Other Poems (1829), was written in Spenserian stanzas that were clearly inspired by Childe Harold's Pilgrimage.

No list of classic Irish poets would be complete without something from one of the best-known and best-loved Irish poets of the last hundred years: Seamus Heaney (1939-2013). Alongside the work of the literate poets there flourished a traditional oral literature. One of its products was the caoineadh or traditional lament, a genre dominated by women and typically characterised by improvisation and passion. Countless numbers were composed; one of the few to have survived is Caoineadh Airt Uí Laoghaire. This was mostly composed by a noblewoman from the Roman Catholic O'Connell family of Derrynane House, who continued to rule over their tenants in County Kerry like the Chiefs of an Irish clan. The poet was Eibhlín Dubh Ní Chonaill (an aunt of Daniel O'Connell), after her husband, Art O'Leary, was outlawed for refusing to sell his pedigreed stallion to a local Anglo-Irish judge, hunted down, and shot dead by a posse of redcoats acting under the judge's personal command. It is considered to be an outstanding example of the type. [6] [4] Swift and Goldsmith [ edit ] Oliver Goldsmith a b c d e f g h Williams, J.E. Caerwyn, & Ní Mhuiríosa, Máirín, Traidisiún Liteartha na nGael. An Clóchomhar Tta, 1979: pp. 273-304 If ‘love’ resists definition, what about the ‘love poem’ itself? In this module, we will situate poems and poets in historical context, reading closely love poetry from the 1500s through to the present day. We will investigate love in its various philosophical forms as they have informed poetry in English, and examine what we mean by love poetry in all its ‘infinite variety’ - as expressive, for instance, of unrequited love, platonic love, sexual love, religious love, queer love, forbidden love, romantic love, obsessive love, courtly love, familial love. We will also think about the relations between love, law, power, and politics (particularly gender politics) as they manifest themselves in poetry. The Last Rose of Summer” was written in 1805 while Thomas Moore was spending time at Jenkinstown Castle in County Kilkenny, Ireland. The poem is said to have been inspired by a species of a China rose called Rosa Old Blush, which Moore had seen in the castle.

He penned his “What Is the Word” poem in 1988, when he was 83 years old, during the final days of his life confined in a hospital in Paris, France.

Image via Canva In the Republic of Ireland, a post-modernist generation of poets and writers emerged from the late 1950s onwards. Prominent among these writers were the poets Antony Cronin, Pearse Hutchinson, John Jordan, Thomas Kinsella and John Montague, most of whom were based in Dublin in the 1960s and 1970s. In Dublin a number of new literary magazines were founded in the 1960s: Poetry Ireland, Arena, The Lace Curtain, and in the 1970s, Cyphers.With the foundation of the Irish Free State in 1923, it became official government policy to promote and protect the Irish language. Despite its failures, this policy did further the revival in Irish-language literature which had started around 1900. In particular, the establishment in 1925 [18] of An Gúm ("The Project"), a Government-sponsored publisher, created an outlet both for original works in Irish and for translations into the language. No list of the greatest Irish poems should exist without something from Seamus Heaney, one of Ireland’s most famous and well-loved poets. Its three short quatrains tell about the speaker’s desire for the silence and tranquility of Innisfree, an uninhabited island in County Sligo, Ireland, near where the poet spent many summers as a child.The major theme in the poem is the conflict between nature and civilization.
