Download or read book The Irish Folklore Commission 1935 1970 written by Mícheál Briody and published by Suomalaisen Kirjallisuuden Seura. This book was released on 2008-06-16 with total page 538 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Between 1935 and 1970 the Irish Folklore Commission (Coimisiún Béaloideasa Éireann), under-funded and at great personal cost to its staff, assembled one of the world’s largest folklore collections. This study draws on the extensive government files on the Commission in the National Archives of Ireland and on a wide variety of other primary and secondary sources, in order to recount and assess the work and achievement of this world-famous institute. The cultural, linguistic, political and ideological factors that had a bearing on the establishment and making permanent of the Commission and that impinged on many aspects of its work are here elucidated. The genesis of the Commission is traced and the vision and mission of its Honorary Director, Séamus Ó Duilearga (James Hamilton Delargy), is outlined. The negotiations that preceded the setting up of the Commission in 1935 as well as protracted efforts from 1940 to 1970 to place it on a permanent foundation are recounted and examined at length. All the various collecting programmes and other activities of the Commission are described in detail and many aspects of its work are assessed and, in some cases, reassessed. This study also deals with the working methods and conditions of employment of the Commission’s field and Head Office staff as well with Séamus Ó Duilearga’s direction of the Commission.

Reluctant hero Conor Kelly realises this when he finds himself unexpectedly entombed within the silent black tunnels deep beneath ancient Heapstown Cairn, where he is forced to confront his greatest fear... Enticed by the enigmatic Annalee of the Sidhe, wheelchair bound Conor enters the magical realm of Tir na Nog. He will risk anything to achieve his dream, something we all take for granted. The ability to walk and talk. Unbeknown to Conor, he possesses a wealth of magical powers and knowledge, lore long lost to the Sidhe, which he must somehow use to find the Four Lost Treasures of Eirean. These artefacts once belonged to the Tuatha de Denann, who ruled Ireland four thousand years ago. With them, the Sidhe hope to restore their land to its former glory. Conor sets out with Annalee on an adventure through Irish mythology, visiting the ancient sites of Tara and Newgrange. However, it soon becomes apparent that Annalee is not all she seems... Meanwhile, Bres, once a Denann king, also seeks the lost treasures as revenge against past Sidhe wrongdoing. He will stop at nothing to get them. How can Conor in his wheelchair possibly defeat him? Conor's search for the lost treasures takes him on a voyage of self-discovery as he realises that anyone, even the most unlikely of us, can still be a hero.
