The Irish Revival Reappraised

This volume consists of the proceedings of the tenth international conference of the Society for the Study of Nineteenth-century Ireland, held in Dublin in June 2002. It contains articles by scholars specializing in the Anglo-Irish literary revival, the Gaelic League and other movements which together constituted that cultural movement from the 1880s to the 1920s which has become known as the Irish revival. Essays focus on some of the key issues in the study of the revival today. They include the ways in which participants in the revival were both conscious fashioners and critics of its later image and the positioning of movements within the revival, from theosophy to agricultural cooperation. Neglected material aspects of the revival from museums to clothing are also tackled, as is the issue of the urban settings for the revival in Dublin, Belfast and London. Finally, considerable attention is paid to what can be learned from individuals previously deemed peripheral and from fresh historical perspectives on some of the key texts of the literary revival.
