Introduction : Patrimoine/Cultural Heritage In France And Ireland, Eamon Maher, Eugene O'Brien Jan 2019

Introduction : Patrimoine/Cultural Heritage In France And Ireland, Eamon Maher, Eugene O'Brien

Books/Chapters

Assessing something as all-pervasive as cultural heritage can run the risk of resorting to cliches and stereotypes, even though these very things are also an integral part ofwhat constitutes the patrimoine ofany given society. The French are rightly acclaimed for their fashion, wines, gastronomy, literature, philosophy, regional specificities, architecture, and cafe culture, to name but a few ofthe Hexagone's most distinctive traits. Ireland, on the other hand, has its pubs, its writers, many ofwhom traditionally spent far too much time in the aforementioned pubs, its fighting spirit, its greenness, its historic struggle with its nearest neighbour, perfidious Albion, its beef …


George Moore : Cultural Tourist In France, Eamon Maher Jan 2017

George Moore : Cultural Tourist In France, Eamon Maher

Books/Chapters

Ofall the Irish writers ofthe nineteenth and twentieth centuries, George Moore (I 8S 2.-1933) is the one who was most embedded in French literature, painting and culture. Taking the strongly autobiographical Confessions ofa YoungMan as its main focal point, this chapter will examine Moore's love affair with France and the influence this exerted on his literary and artistic evolution. In Confessions, we read the extent ofMoore's attraction to Paris: '[ ... ] my thoughts reverted to France, which always haunted me; and which now possessed me with the sweet and magnetic influence ofhome.'l Moore clearly had a deep appreciation ofFrance …

Introduction: Tickling The Palate. Gastronomy In Irish Literature And Culture, Eamon Maher, Máirtín Mac Con Iomaire

Books/Chapters

There has been a gradual but noticeable growth in scholarship concerning food globally, particularly in the last decade. One of the longest running and most inf luential forces behind this phenomenon is the Oxford Symposium on Food and Cookery (1981–present) which was originally founded and co-chaired by Alan Davidson, pre-eminent food historian, diplomat, and author of The Oxford Companion to Food, and Dr Theodore Zeldin, the celebrated social historian of France. This spawned a dedicated publishing house, Prospect Books, which published the conference proceedings and also the journal Petits Propos Culinaires (PPC), now approaching its 100th issue.


The Rituals Of Food And Drink In The Work Of John Mcgahern, Eamon Maher Jan 2014

The Rituals Of Food And Drink In The Work Of John Mcgahern, Eamon Maher

Books/Chapters

John McGahern (1934–2006) was a writer with a keen sense of place. His novels and short stories are mainly set in the northwest midland counties of Leitrim and Roscommon and they bring to life a vast array of characters and situations that provide invaluable insights in relation to what it was like to live in traditional rural Ireland during the middle and later decades of the last century. Religion, the land, complex familial relations, emigration, the dancehall phenomenon, sexual abuse in the home, all these issues are courageously broached and realistically presented. McGahern’s stark portrayals also attracted the unwanted attentions …

Reflections Of A Layman On The Ryan Report, Eamon Maher Jan 2009

Reflections Of A Layman On The Ryan Report, Eamon Maher

Books/Chapters

The Ryan Report on abuse of children in institutions of the state which were run by religious orders caused outrage and confusion among all the people of Ireland, both members of the Catholic Church and others. In the aftermath of the immediate shock and the widespread media coverage, it seems useful to reflect on the roots of the problems that gave rise to these horrors and to try to set out a way forward which might help to avoid such things happening in the future. Tony Flannery set about seeking views, comments and analysis which might add some breadth and …

Jean Sulivan (1913-1980): La Marginalité Dans La Vie Et L’Oeuvre, Eamon Maher Jan 2008

Jean Sulivan (1913-1980): La Marginalité Dans La Vie Et L’Oeuvre, Eamon Maher

Books/Chapters

Le prêtre-écrivain Jean Sulivan est encore peu connu en France. Pourtant, Jacques Madaule a dit de lui dans Témoignage chrétien du 30 avril 1964 qu'il était "un auteur capable de continuer Bernanos". A travers l'étude de la marginalité dans la vie et l'oeuvre de Sulivan, l'ouvrage d'Eamon Maher entend mettre en lumière l'originalité d'un parcours et d'une écriture des marges : l'enfance dans une ferme bretonne, le travail de prêtre diocésain à Rennes et la naissance à la littérature, en marge des courants, roman catholique ou nouveau roman.

John Mcgahern: From The Local To The Universal, Eamon Maher Jan 2003

John Mcgahern: From The Local To The Universal, Eamon Maher

Books/Chapters

John McGahern has distinguished himself as one of Ireland's finest living novelists and short story writers with such works as The Pornographer, The Barracks, Amongst Women, and the controversial The Dark, which was banned in Ireland. His latest novel, By the Lake, earned him much critical acclaim, and he was one of only four recipients of a 2003 Lannan Literary Award. In this comprehensive guide to the fiction of John McGahern, Eamon Maher argues that in his themes, scenes, scenarios, and characters, which on the surface seem to originate from a limited source--the local--we can …
