Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: There is much of interest to readers of an y nationality in Katharine Tynan's "Twenty-Five Years: Reminiscences." It is, however, first and last a hook for Irishmen of the Parnell times, written as intimately as a diary, with not much literary form, but with a directness and naturalness that is charming. The old agitator Parnell becomes a strangely real person when one reads these pages of Miss Tynan's. She quite evidently not only loved, but revered Parnell, and regarded him as the personification of right and justice, although she admits "there may have been some honest among the anti-Parnellites." Besides the memorabilia of the Parnell and Land League campaign, there are chapters on the Rossettis and the Maynells, and delicious anecdotes of William Morris, Cardinal Newman, Lord Russell of Killowen, Oscar Wilde, W. B. Yeats, Tim Healy and other "incurable Irishmen." -Review of Reviews and World's Work, Vol. 49

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Twenty-Five Years Reminiscences You were a part of the green country, Of the grey hills and the quiet places. They are not the same, the fields and the mountains, Without the lost and beloved faces, And you were a part of the sweet country. There's a road that winds by the foot of the mountains Where I run in my dreams and you come to meet me, With your blue eyes and your cheeks' old roses, The old fond smile that was quick to greet me. They are not the same, the fields and mountains. There is something lost, there is something lonely, The birds are singing, the streams are calling, The sun's the same and the wind in the meadows, But o'er your grave are the shadows falling, The soul is missing, and all is lonely. It is what they said: you were part of the country, You were never afraid of the wind and weather, I can hear in dreams the feet of your pony, You and your pony coming together, You will drive no more through the pleasant country. You were a part of the fields and mountains, Everyone knew you, everyone loved you, All the world was your friend and neighbour, The women smiled and the men approved you. They are not the same, the fields and the mountains. I sigh no more for the pleasant places, The longer I've lost you the more I miss you. My heart seeks you in dreams and shadows, In dreams I find you, in dreams I kiss you, And wake, alas! to the lonely places.

This book was released on 2016-04-26 with total page 626 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A farmer’s daughter, a convent girl, a lover of the Irish countryside, a poet, novelist and short story writer, a journalist, a friend of the English during war and peace, a fighter for justice, a Catholic, but able to see and decry the interference of religion in politics: this is in part Katharine Tynan Hinkson (1859–1931), usually known as Katharine Tynan, who lived in Ireland and England, and wrote through the turbulent times of Irish politics, suffrage, the Great War, and civil war in Ireland. Her background was rural Ireland, her father being a prosperous land-owning farmer. Educated locally and at a convent, she left aged fourteen and spent much time reading and enjoying the countryside, which became a foundation for her poetry and storytelling. She was aware of the politics of Ireland through her politically active father, and she joined the short-lived Ladies’ Land League in 1881 and was a fervent admirer of Charles Stewart Parnell. Her first major literary friendship was with her mentor, the Jesuit Father Matthew Russell, editor of the Irish Monthly, who published much of her work. He introduced Katharine to the Catholic literary couple Wilfrid and Alice Meynell in London in 1884, a visit which formed a deep love and admiration for Alice. The Meynells published much of her poetry in the Weekly Register and Merry England. Katharine made many visits to England and settled in England in 1893 after her marriage to Harry Hinkson, making it her home until returning to Ireland in 1912. After the Great War, she moved between England and Ireland, finally settling in London where she died. Katharine’s life spanned Anglo-Irish politics, the suffrage movement, the Easter Rising of 1916, the Great War (her two sons served in the British Army) and its aftermath. Her letters cover these events and the friendships and correspondence with many literary persons, including George William Russell (A.E.), G. K. Chesterton, Wilfrid Scawen Blunt, Clement King Shorter, the writer Frank James Mathew and the novelist May Sinclair. An early friend of W. B. Yeats, she was seen as part of the Irish literary revival, although in a minor role. Throughout her life she suffered from very poor eyesight. She published five autobiographies, which, together with the letters, provide us with valuable insight into her life and times.

Download or read book Irish women s writing 1878 1922 written by Anna Pilz and published by Manchester University Press. This book was released on 2016-07-01 with total page 355 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Irish women writers entered the British and international publishing scene in unprecedented numbers in the period between 1878 and 1922. Literary history is only now beginning to give them the attention they deserve for their contributions to the literary landscape of Ireland, which has included far more women writers, with far more diverse identities, than hitherto acknowledged. This collection of new essays by leading scholars explores how women writers including Emily Lawless, L. T. Meade, Katharine Tynan, Lady Gregory, Rosa Mulholland, Ella Young and Beatrice Grimshaw used their work to advance their own private and public political concerns through astute manoeuvrings both in the expanding publishing industry and against the partisan expectations of an ever-growing readership. The chapters investigate their dialogue with a contemporary politics that included the topics of education, cosmopolitanism, language, empire, economics, philanthropy, socialism, the marriage 'market', the publishing industry, readership(s), the commercial market and employment.
