- W2498832566 abstract "The Irish Literary Revival at the close of the nineteenth century heralded, among other things, the publication, translation and development into new forms of ancient literature in the native language. Yeats and Synge realised that the best way of coming to terms with the Gaelic tradition was not to write crude plays of nationalist propaganda, but rather to revitalise in their art the finest features of the old literature in Irish. Despite this, few of the major writers of the Revival proved themselves equal to the task of mastering modern Irish, not to mention the ancient literary language. Even Lady Gregory’s successful Cuchulain of Muirthemne was based on previous English translations. Yeats was in an even less happy position when he set about his treatment of the wanderings of Oisin. Harold Bloom has cruelly exposed the poet’s real distance from his Ossianic sources, as he based his material on a translation of an eighteenth-century poem by Micheal O Cuimin which he had found in the Transactions of the Ossianic Society: ‘… he sits in the British Museum, himself knowing no Gaelic (he never bothered to learn any) and he reads a version of a version. He is so far from mythology, and indeed in every sense so far from Ireland, that we need not be surprised to discover that his poem, despite its Celtic colourings, is in the centre of the English Romantic tradition…’1" @default.
