From Goddesses to Ghosts - Academic Work Series 1

Series 1/5

William Penhallow Henderson, Sara Algood As Cathleen Ni Houlihan, Chicago, 1915, pastel, Smithsonian American Art Museum, Gift of Alice H. Rossin, 1982.1.26

I am going to start putting up blog posts containing some of the academic work I am the most proud of during my time at University. Now that my masters is over it’s nice to have a chance to look back.

This first chosen work is a written presentation that was put together at the University of Birmingham, in my second year course Irish Theatre. The presentation briefly looks at the links between mythology and the representation of Ireland as a female figure.

Now as website formatting really does not agree with academic formatting and referencing I shall be attaching the work as a link:

 
 

William Butler Yeats, Cathleen ni Houlihan (Samhain, 1902).

Rosalind Clark, The Great Queens: Irish Goddesses from the Morrígan to Cathleen ní Houlihan (Buckinghamshire: Colin Smythe Ltd, 1991).
