Cadhnaíocht – Aistí ar Mháirtín Ó Cadhain ✓ In Stock

Tá leathchéad bliain ann ó cailleadh Máirtín Ó Cadhain, ach tá a chuid saothair á léamh agus á phlé fós. Tá cion mór déanta ag Aindrias Ó Cathasaigh san obair seo, eolas ar bheatha Uí Chadhain a thabhairt chun solais agus díospóireacht ar a oidhreacht á spreagadh aige. Leanann sé air sna haistí seo, idir shean agus nua, ag dul níos faide isteach i gnéithe den Chadhnach ar beag eolas orthu. Ni sheachnaíonn sé an chonspóid riamh, ach oiread leis an té atá faoi thrácht aige. Pléann sé obair Uí Chadhain mar ghníomhaí polaitiúil, agus ceachtanna atá le baint aisti inniu. Scagann sé scéalta dá chuid, mar a d'fhorbair a chiall don litríocht agus an saol ag athrú. Téann sé i ngleic leis an gcaoi ar caitheadh le scríbhinní Uí Chadhain, i dteangacha éagsúla, agus lena bhfuil ráite ag na criticeoirí faoi. Ní thógann sé aon chlaí idir polaitíocht agus scéalaíocht Uí Chadhain, ag seasamh air i gcónaí go gcaithfear éisteacht lena ghlór ina iomláine.   Tá aithne fhorleathan ar Aindrias Ó Cathasaigh mar staraígéarchúiseach. Scríobh sé an bheathaisnéis is cuimsithí ar an gCadhnach, Ag samhlú troda, agus anailís ar a fhorbairt pholaitiúil, Daol na réabhlóide, chomh maith le dhá dhíolaim de scríbhinní Ui Chadhain a chur in eagar. Is minic a chuid saothair ar an raidió is an teilifís, agus in irisí. Bhronn an Chomhdháil Mheiriceánach do Léann na hÉireann, chomh maith le hoireachtas na Gaeilge, duaiseanna ar a leabhar is deireanaí, Ainm na Saoirse: Gaeilge Dháil Éireann 1919-22.

Look! It's a Woman Writer! Irish Literary Feminisms 1970–2020 ✓ In Stock

Why have women been treated differently, and discriminated against, in the literary world? Why has gender been a ‘problem’ in the writing, publishing, funding and reviewing scene? And why does it matter? Éilís Ní Dhuibhne asked 21 writers who were born in mid-twentieth-century Ireland, north and south, to write about their literary lives. They tell it like it really was, and is. Collectively, these vivid, original essays provide us with a fascinating picture of Ireland’s literary landscape from multiple female points of view. Poets, fiction writers, playwrights, impresarios, writers in Irish and English, have written accounts which are funny, tragic, philosophical, angry, but all are lively, stunningly-honest testimonies of the writing life during a pivotal period in the history of Irish literature. These writers came of age when legislation for gender equality was beginning to be enacted. They are growing older on an island where a great deal has changed, for the better, as far as women are concerned. They have participated in, and created, new and more egalitarian literary scenes through their activism, but above all with their writing. They were movers and shakers when it really mattered. They are literary survivors. Contributors: Éilís Ní Dhuibhne, Catherine Dunne, Lia Mills, Medbh McGuckian, Evelyn Conlon, Mary O’Malley, Liz McManus, Mary O'Donnell, Moya Cannon, Celia de Fréine, Mary Dorcey, Anne Devlin, Mary Rose Callaghan, Mary Morrissy, Áine Ní Ghlinn, Sophia Hillan, Ruth Carr, Cherry Smyth, Mairide Woods, Ivy Bannister, Phyl Herbert. With a foreword by novelist Martina Devlin and an afterword by Arlen House publisher Alan Hayes, this book is essential reading for anyone with an interest in how Ireland finally began to value the voices of women. Here is, in their own words, the story of the women who are the way-pavers of modern and post-modern Irish literature. There has never been a collection of essays like this.
