Books for children

IRISH books specifically written for children begin withMaria Edgeworth's well-known moral, educational storieswhich still appeal to children fortunate enough to have themread aloud to them. There is, however, more fantasy in thefairy stories of Granny s Wonderful Chair and the Stories ItTold (1857) by Frances Brown (1816-79) the blind Donegalpoet and novelist. Following Standish O'Grady's Irish storiescame those of Ella Young (1865-1951). Born in CountyAntrim, she became an active Republican, learned Irish, andwrote The Coming of Lugh (1909) and Celtic Wonder-Tales(1910). Her later work The Wonder Smith and His Son (1927)and The Unicorn with Silver Shoes (1932) have a touch ofpleasing fantasy about them. Another woman writer whoproduced stories for children was Winifred Letts (b. 1882),whose poems, in Songs from Leinster (1913) and More Songsfrom Leinster (1926), and an autobiography, Knockmaroon(1933), are worth reading. In more recent times PatriciaLynch (1900-72) wrote many very popular books forchildren, particularly her Turf-Cutter's Donkey Series whichbegan in 1935, and the books about Brogeen the leprechaun,which began in 1947. Her writings, warmhearted and skilful,have been widely translated. A Story tellers Childhood (1947)is a masterly rendering of her own youth, to be compared,perhaps, with an earlier masterpiece, Hannah Lynch's Autobiography of a Child (1899). The Singing Cave (1959) byEilis Dillon (b. 1920) is the best of this writer's work forchildren. She has also written a lively historical novel Acrossthe Bitter Sea (1973) with a sequel Blood Relations (1977).

Criticism and scholarship

A physician and pamphleteer, an eccentric, epigrammaticversifier, but, above all, a magnificent wandering scholar,James Henry (1798-1876) gave up medicine and appliedhimself to the study of Virgilian manuscripts in Europeanlibraries : the resulting five volumes of his Aeneidea weremarked by vast learning and original comment.

There were several other nineteenth-century scholars whoenhanced the reputation of Trinity College. They includeSir John Pentland Mahaffy (1839-1919), who was born ofIrish parents in Switzerland, educated at home in Donegal,and then went on to a distinguished career in Trinity College,Dublin, of which he became Provost in 1914. The Principlesof The Art of Conversation (1887) may give some idea of hisown formidable powers as a talker. But Mahaffy was equallyformidable as an author, with more than thirty books onclassical, historical and philosophical subjects to his credit.The portrait by Sir William Orpen (1878-1931) shows atouch of arrogance but hardly conveys the selective kindnessand trenchancy of the man who became a legend in his lifetime : the divergent opinions of his character can be understood by reading Mahaffy: a biography ofan Anglo-Irishman(1971) , by W. B. Stanford and R. B. McDowell.

A non-academic historian, William Hartpole Lecky (18381903) was educated at Trinity College, Dublin, travelledabroad and settled in London in 1871; he represented DublinUniversity at Westminster from 1895-1903, and was a liberalUnionist who opposed Home Rule. Five of the twelve volumesof his great History of England in the Eighteenth Century(1892) are devoted to Ireland because he wanted to refuteFroude's calumnies against the Irish people. His first bookwas the anonymous Leaders of Public Opinion in Ireland(1861) , followed by his History of the Rise and Influence of

CRITICISM AND SCHOLARSHIP 291

Rationalism in Europe (2 vols, 1865) which established hisreputation, and History of European Morals from Augustusto Charlemagne (2 vols, 1869). He has been characterised byJames Auchmuty in his Lecky (1945) as 'almost the last inthe great line of non-academic historians', and while Auchmutypoints out that Lecky failed to understand the reality ofnationalist emotions he rightly praises his principles of sanityand moderation, his love of justice and morality.

Two other classical scholars who wrote elegantly wereRobert Yelverton Tyrrell and John Bagenal Bury. Tyrrell(1844-1914), born in Tipperary, became one of the greatestclassical scholars of his day, holding the chairs of Latin (1870),Greek (1880) and Ancient History (1900) at Trinity College.His editions of classical authors include the massive Cicero'sCorrespondence ; he was a wit as well as a scholar; he editedKottabos (a journal publishing translations, parodies, lyricsand light verse, provided they were erudite and frivolous) andwas a founder of the more solemn academic journalHermathena in 1874. It still appears regularly. Bury (18611927), born in Monaghan, was educated at Foyle College,Londonderry and Trinity College, Dublin, where he held thechair of Modem History from 1893, and the chair of Greekfrom 1898; he then went to the chair of Modem History atCambridge in 1902. Early in his life the History of the LaterRoman Empire (1889) established his fame; he followed itwith several other excellent books on Greek and RomanHistory.

In Irish scholarship P[atrick] W[eston] Joyce (18271914) combined a capacity for translation, for expertise inIrish place names and for writing general histories of Irelandthat survived in schools until recently and provided a conciseview of events. He wrote English as we speak it in Ireland(1910), to be compared with J. J. Hogan's The EnglishLanguage in Ireland (1927).

More specialised in his interests was William]. Fitzpatrick(1830-95) who published much of the secret history ofIreland in books such as The Sham Squire (1866) and Irelandbefore the Union (1867) .

It is hard to classify Joseph Holloway (1861-1944), anarchitect with a passion for the theatre whose vast diaryrecords his daily life and gives details of performances in

292 ANGLO-IRISH UTERATURE

Dublin theatres which he attended so assiduously. Fourvolumes selected from the 25 million words of the diary havebeen published by Robert Hogan and M.J. O'Neill (in 1967,1968, 1969, and 1970) and are a valuable source of information. Like Holloway, W. J. Lawrence (1962-1940) cameto dislike Yeats, and, particularly, Synge's Playboy; thoughhis books deal with the Elizabethan stage, about which hehad a deep and detailed knowledge, he wrote intelligent ifoften destructive cricitism of Irish drama for The Stage.

It is a relief to move among the less puritanical pages ofStephen Gwynn (1864-1950) who conveyed his enjoymentof Irish literature with an elegant ease, based upon knowledgeand sound critical judgement. His Irish Literature and Dramain the English Language (1936), long a pioneering guide tothe subject, may now seem simple, even superficial, but hisbooks on Swift and Goldsmith are still eminently worthreading. Gwynn's public life as MP for Galway from 1906 to1918 did not hinder his having a very large and varied outputof writing, which is all pleasurable, be it autobiography,biography, criticism, fiction, poetry, books on fishing orguide books. He is a good guide, sharing his pleasures (and hehad admirable taste) with his readers in an admirable way.

Another writer effective in communicating with his readerswas the librarian and distinguished scientist Robert lloydPraeger (1865-1939) who in addition to The Botanist inIreland (1934) and a very readable Natural History of Ireland(1950) wrote, in The Way that I Went , a lively account of hisextensive travelling in Ireland.

John Eglinton (William Kirkpatrick Magee, 1868-1961)went to the High School, Dublin, where he was a contemporaryof Yeats, who later thought him 'our one Irish critic'. Yeatsselected Some Essays and Passages by John Eglinton for theDun Emer Press, run by his sisters, to publish in 1905. ATheosophist, Eglinton became friendly with AE, and wrotetranscendental essays under the influence of Emerson andThoreau. His Anglo-Irish Essays appeared in 1917, and AMemoir of AE in 1937. Though he edited, with Fred Ryan,the twelve issues of Dana which contained work by manyleading writers of the time during its brief run (between1904-5), he was not regarded as sympathetic to the literaryrevival; his classical education led him to insist on literature

having larger than national horizons. Inclusive in his taste,Robert Lynd (1879-1949), educated at Queen's College,Belfast, was a journalist who wrote graceful essays, verymuch part of the Edwardian period, which conveyed hisappreciation of literature in a middle-brow manner.

With Joseph M[aunsel] Hone (1882-59) Irish biographycame of age. A learned publisher, with a philosophical castof mind, he wrote admirable lives of Bishop Berkeley andGeorge Moore, and many subsequent writers have found hisfull, pioneering and shrewd life of W. B. Yeats (1942) a goodstarting point for their own work. Historical background forgeneral readers is provided in Constantia Maxwell's (18861962) Dublin under the Georges (1936) and Irish Town andCountry under the Georges (1940).

The Irish Literary Renaissance had its first historian inErnest A. Boyd (1887-1946) who worked in the BritishConsular service and settled in New York in 1920. He beganhis account with Mangan arid Ferguson, and blended historyand trenchant criticism effectively throughout Ireland'sLiterary Renaissance (1920). Though this book gives theimpression of having been written for readers with a knowledge of the literature rather than being designed as a textbook for those with no knowledge of the background it stillhas much in it worth pondering; it was reissued in 1922.Another account also worth looking at is The Irish Drama(1929) by Andrew E. Malone (Laurence Patrick Byrne,1888-1939) a journalist whose judgements are sensible, ifexcessively conservative.

Helen Waddell (1889-1965) was educated at Queen'sUniversity, Belfast, and later at Oxford. She produced TheWandering Scholars (1927), an account of the Goliards andtranslations from their work, a collection of Medieval LatinLyrics (1933) and the novel Peter Abelard (1933) which,though obviously the work of a scholar rather than a novelist,remains a moving book best read in conjunction (andcomparison) with George Moore's Heloise and Abelard(1921), the work of a novelist rather than a scholar.

Arland Ussher (1899-1980), though born in London,was of Irish stock, was educated at Trinity College andknew Irish. Capable of deep philosophical thought, hedeveloped a forte for making arresting generalisations,

294 ANGLO-IRISH LITERATURE

notably in The Face and Mind of Ireland (1949), astimulating and often witty contemplation of the Irishcharacter and the intellectual history that has been madeby it. In Three Great Irishmen (1952) he applied his criticaljudgement to Shaw, Yeats and Joyce, making many profoundcomments which benefit from the highly original cast of hisown mind, so much at its ease in the form of the speculative,provocative essay.

Among contemporary authors two, in particular, deservepraise. Originality of viewpoint is to be found in refreshingmeasure in the writings of Conor Cruise O'Brien (b. 1917),particularly in his Maria Cross (1952), subtle studies ofmodern Catholic writers, published under the pseudonym ofDonat O'Donnell. He has written a book on Parnell, books onhis own experiences in Katanga and about the United Nations,a play on the Congo, Murderous Angels (1968) , and variousstudies of Ireland, past and present. He writes with discernment, wit and pungency. A notable discernment is also atwork in Dublin, 1660-1860, a fine artistic, social and culturalhistory by Maurice James Craig (b. 1919), whose nativeBelfast was ironically apostrophised in 'Ballad to a TraditionalRefrain', an anthology piece typical of his early poetry. Craigwrites poetry and prose with a precision permeated by hisparticular sense of enjoyment; his Life of the Volunteer Earl,James Caulfield, the first Earl of Charlemont (1948) isinformed by meticulous knowledge of the eighteenth-centurybackground.
