Download or read book Standish O Grady s Cuculain written by Gregory Castle and published by Syracuse University Press. This book was released on 2016-10-04 with total page 320 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Between 1878 and 1881, Standish O’Grady published a three-volume History of Ireland that simultaneously recounted the heroic ancient past of the Irish people and helped to usher in a new era of cultural revival and political upheaval. At the heart of this history was the figure of Cuculain, the great mythic hero who would inspire a generation of writers and revolutionaries, from W. B. Yeats and Lady Augusta Gregory to Patrick Pearse. Despite the profound influence O’Grady’s writings had on literary and political culture in Ireland, they are not as well known as they should be, particularly in view of the increasingly global interest in Irish culture. This critical edition of the Cuculain legend offers a concise, abridged version of the central story in History of Ireland—the rise of the young warrior, his famous exploits in the Táin Bó Cualinge (The Cattle Raid of Cooley), and his heroic death. Castle and Bixby’s edition also includes a scholarly introduction, biography, timeline, glossary, editorial notes, and critical essays, demonstrating the significance of O’Grady’s writing for the continued reimagining of Ireland’s past, present, and future. Inviting a new generation of readers to encounter this work, the volume provides the tools necessary to appreciate both O’Grady’s enduring importance as a writer and Cuculain’s continuing resonance as a cultural icon.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Coming of Cuculain There are three great cycles of Gaelic literature. The first treats of the gods; the second of the Red Branch Knights of Ulster and their contemporaries; the third is the so-called Ossianic. Of the Ossianic, Finn is the chief character; of the Red Branch cycle, Cuculain, the hero of our tale. Cuculain and his friends are historical characters, seen as it were through mists of love and wonder, whom men could not forget, but for centuries continued to celebrate in countless songs and stories. They were not literary phantoms, but actual existences; imaginary and fictitious characters, mere creatures of idle fancy, do not live and flourish so in the world's memory. And as to the gigantic stature and superhuman prowess and achievements of those antique heroes, it must not be forgotten that all art magnifies, as if in obedience to some strong law; and so, even in our own times, Grattan, where he stands in artistic bronze, is twice as great as the real Grattan thundering in the Senate.

Book excerpt: The Red Branch feasted one night in their great hall at Emain Macha. So vastwas the hall that a man, such as men are now, standing in the centre and shoutinghis loudest, would not be heard at the circumference, yet the low laughter of theKing sitting at one end was clearly audible to those who sat around the Champion atthe other. The sons of Dithorba made it, giants of the elder time, labouring thereunder the brazen shoutings of Macha and the roar of her sounding thongs. Itslength was a mile and nine furlongs and a cubit. With her brooch pin she ploughedits outline upon the plain, and its breadth was not much less. Trees such as theearth nourished then upheld the massy roof beneath which feasted that heroicbrood, the great-hearted children of Rury, huge offspring of the gods and giantsof the dawn of time.
