An Béaslaíoch: Beatha agus Saothar Phiarais Béaslaí (1881-1965) - Learphollach é Piaras Béaslaí (1881-1965) a d’imir páirt ghníomhach thábhachtach i saol na Gaeilge agus i stair na hÉireann sa chéad cheathrú den fhichiú haois. Ba scríbhneoir ildánach Gaeilge é an Béaslaíoch a cheap lón léitheoireachta scóipiúil, agus drámaí, prós, filíocht agus saothar iriseoireachta ina measc. Gníomhaí agus idé-eolaí teanga é a bhunaigh an Fáinne agus Cumann na Scíbhneoirí. Fear é a rinne a chion sa Réabhlóid Éireannach (1913-1923). Bhí an Béaslaíoch orthu siúd a bhunaigh Óglaigh na hÉireann sa bhliain 1913, bhí sé amuigh in Éirí Amach na Cásca, bhí sé i láthair nuair a tháinig an Chéad Dáil Éireann le chéile, agus bhí sé ann nuair a dhaingnigh Dáil Éireann an Conradh Angla-Éireannach.
Beathaisnéis chriticiúil is ea an leabhar seo ina ríomhann Pádraig Ó Siadhail scéal eachtrach Phiarais Béaslaí. Cuireann an Siadhlach roimhe ceithre cheist mhóra a fhregairt. Cad a spreag fear óg a rugadh is a tógadh i Sasana chun a bheatha a thíolacadh d’Éirinn? Cén pháirt a d’imir an Béaslaíoch i ngluaiseacht na Gaeilge agus i bpolaitíocht na hÉireann? Cén tionchar a bhí aigesean ar an dá réimse sin? Cén dóigh a ndeachaigh a ndearna sé, a bhfaca sé agus ar tharla dó i gcion air mar dhuine? Agus é ag tarraingt ar an iliomad foinsí, ó pháipéir Bhéaslaí go nauchtáin a linne, rianaíonn an t-údar na castaí is na cora i mbeatha Bhéaslaí, ón am a raibh ról lárnach i saol na Gaeilge aige agus tionchar nach beag ar imeachtaí polaitiúla na tíre, go dtí a chinneadh tarraingt siar ón saol poilbí tar éis an Chogaigh Chathartha. Cinneadh é a chiallódh gurbh fhear gan iomrá é an Béaslaíoch ó shin i leith.

Edinburgh University Press writes that "This book examines why Beckett鈥檚 writing is so queer, so disabled and disabling. Why did Beckett write so often about mental illness, disability, perversion? Why did he take such an interest in 鈥榓bnormals鈥 and 鈥榙egenerates鈥? How did he reconceive 鈥榯he human鈥 in the wake of Hitler and Stalin? Drawing on Beckett鈥檚 voluminous archive, as well as his primary texts, the authors use psychoanalysis, queer theory, disability theory and biopolitics to push Beckett studies beyond the normal."

{English translation}
P谩draic 脫 Conaire, a central figure in contemporary Irish-language literature, and two of the women in 脫 Conaire's life (Caitl铆n N铆 Aodha and Mary Morrison) are the central characters in this novel. Set in the years between 1913 and 1928, the action in Beirt Bhan Mhisni煤la moves from North America to London and Dublin before returning once more to North America.
We are given a taste of what life was like before 1916 for the Irish (and Irish speakers) in London, where the Canadian woman, Caitl铆n N铆 Aodha, first met 脫 Conaire. It was in London that their relationship became intimate and she believed, for a time, that they would be married... She soon learned that 脫 Conaire had lied to her and that she wasn't the only one he had lied to either.
In a novel that draws on two of the major themes from 脫 Conaire's own writings, love and betrayal, it falls to the second of the women, Mary Morrison, to come to the aid of the man who has failed her friend Caitl铆n, and to put 脫 Conaire to the test, both as a man and as a writer.
Beirt Bhan Mhisni煤la was named Literary Novel of the Year by Oireachtas na Gaeilge in the Oireachtas na Gaeilge Literary Competitions, 2010.

The expansion of the British Empire during the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries created the greatest mass migration in human history, in which the Irish and Scots played a central, complex, and controversial role. The essays in this volume explore the diverse encounters Irish and Scottish migrants had with Indigenous peoples in North America and Australasia. The Irish and Scots were among the most active and enthusiastic participants in what one contributor describes as "the greatest single period of land theft, cultural pillage, and casual genocide in world history." At the same time, some settlers attempted to understand Indigenous society rather than destroy it, while others incorporated a romanticized view of Natives into a radical critique of European society, and others still empathized with Natives as fellow victims of imperialism. These essays investigate the extent to which the condition of being Irish and Scottish affected settlers' attitudes to Indigenous peoples, and examine the political, social, religious, cultural, and economic dimensions of their interactions. Presenting a variety of viewpoints, the editors reach the provocative conclusion that the Scottish and Irish origins of settlers were less important in determining attitudes and behaviour than were the specific circumstances in which those settlers found themselves at different times and places in North America, Australia and New Zealand. Contributors include Donald Harman Akenson (Queen's), John Eastlake (College Cork), Marjory Harper (Aberdeen), Andrew Hinson (Toronto), Michele Holmgren (Mount Royal), Kevin Hutchings (Northern British Columbia), Anne Lederman (Royal Conservatory of Music), Patricia A.

A member of the Irish Catholic community in Emerald, Prince Edward Island, Katherine Hughes (1876-1925) travelled far and accomplished much during her short life. Her career was varied and eventful: a teacher in a Native school; a journalist (Montreal Star); a biographer (Archbishop Cornelius O’Brien; Father Albert Lacombe; Sir William Van Horne); private secretary to Alberta’s second Premier; Alberta’s first provincial archivist; and most importantly, Irish political activist in support of Eamon de Valera and the cause of Irish independence. Hughes’ travels took her across Canada, to Europe, including Ireland, the USA, Australia and New Zealand. In this book, Pádraig Ó Siadhail charts Katherine Hughes’ physical journeys and discusses the challenges of understanding Hughes’ internal journeys from Canadian political insider in the era before female suffrage to Irish political outsider.

Written over three months in 1946, Mercier and Camier was Beckett’s first post-war work, and his first novel in French. He came to regard it as a practice piece, and set it aside to write his trilogy. Mercier et Camier was finally published in 1970, and in Beckett’s English translation four years later. The eponymous heroes tramp around a city, then out of it, then back again. They are aimless, but there is something elusive that they should be doing. They arrange meetings, they drink, they argue, they discuss being shot of each other. They are preoccupied by the weather, by provisions, by a raincoat, by an umbrella, by a bicycle ... ‘All of these ingredients in the later work are accompanied here, fleetingly, by those things in Beckett that we know but cannot really name, those things were to occupy so much of the trilogy. Intangible things, traps in the mind, that voice we hear, the stop-start understanding, the ongoing bewilderment, the fear.’ Keith Ridgeway

Terrence Murphy wrote "Language, Ethnicity, and Region: Rome and the Struggle for Dominance of the Canadian Catholic Church, 1785-1930". Also we would like to point out that the book was edited by Matteo Binasco who holds a MA in Atlantic Canada Studies from Saint Mary's. And in addition, there is a second article written by a fellow colleague, Luca Codignola, Adjunct in History and Saint Mary鈥檚 Honorary Doctorate, entitled "Rome as Part of the Irish North Atlantic Experience, 1770-1830".
This book builds upon research on the role of Catholicism in creating and strengthening a global Irish identity, complementing existing scholarship by adding a 鈥楻oman perspective鈥. It assesses the direct agency of the Holy See, its role in the Irish collective imagination, and the extent and limitations of Irish influence over the Holy See鈥檚 policies and decisions. Revealing the centrality of the Holy See in the development of a series of missionary connections across the Atlantic world and Rome, the chapters in this collection consider the formation, causes and consequences of these networks both in Ireland and abroad. The book offers a long dur茅e perspective, covering both the early modern and modern periods, to show how Irish Catholicism expanded across continental Europe and over the Atlantic across three centuries. It also offers new insights into the history of Irish migration, exploring the position of the Irish Catholic clergy in Atlantic communities of Irish migrants.

Samuel Beckett: History, Memory, Archive - This volume comprises ten essays challenging the dominant account of Samuel Beckett’s engagement with history. As the first full-length volume to address the historical debate in Beckett studies, Samuel Beckett: History, Memory, Archive provides both ground-breaking analysis of the major works as well as a sustained interrogation of the critical assumptions that underpin Beckett studies more generally. Drawing on a range of archival materials, and situating Beckett in historical context, these essays pose a strong challenge to the prevailing critical consensus that he was a deracinated modernist who cannot be read historically.
