MeToo Revisited
Six years ago, in October 2017, the New Yorker and the New York Times broke dramatic stories concerning sexual harassment by the movie producer Harvey Weinstein. In 2022 the film She Said retold that story from the perspective of the two female Times reporters, while Weinstein, already serving twenty-three years for sexual assault in New York, was convicted of rape in San Francisco. Within these temporal and geographic parentheses, the #MeToo mov…
Abortion and the Environment: China’s One-Child Policy in Mo Yan’s Frog and Ma Jian’s The Dark Road
Despite the immediate threat to human survival posed by climate change, population remains a contentious topic for feminists and environmentalists alike. The most effective way to lower the birth rate is to improve the reproductive health and autonomy of women, but the resurgence of the global religious Right threatens progress, deploying abortion as a political lever in an attempt to erode women’s reproductive rights worldwide, and there is disa…
Evil, Sin, or Doubt: The Dramas of Clerical Child Abuse
John Patrick Shanley's popular "well-made play" Doubt: A Parable (2004) uses a conventional structure to provide an unconventional perspective on the question of child abuse in the Catholic Church. Staging the unresolved struggle of a possibly abusive, possibly gay, and certainly liberal priest against an impossibly dogmatic and conservative nun, it confounds the expectations of audiences prepared for straightforward anti-clerical satire. After e…
Our Nuns Are Not a Nation: Politicizing the Convent in Irish Literature and Film
Our Nuns Are Not a Nation":Politicizing the Convent in Irish Literature and Film Elizabeth Butler Cullingford (bio) My interest in the conflicting political agendas that inform literary and cinematic representations of nuns was inspired by a coincidence. My DVD of Peter Mullan's The Magdalene Sisters arrived in the mail on the same day as a newsletter from the English convent school at which I was extraordinarily happy during the early 1960s, the…
Colonial Policing: The Steward of Christendom and The Whereabouts of Eneas McNulty
Colonial Policing:The Steward of Christendom and The Whereabouts of Eneas McNulty Elizabeth Cullingford (bio) In his play The Steward of Christendom (1995) and novel The Whereabouts of Eneas McNulty (1998), Sebastian Barry has attempted to do for the Dublin Metropolitan Police and the Royal Irish Constabulary what Frank McGuinness did for the men of the Ulster Division at the Somme: explain and justify Irish loyalty to the British crown (Grene 35…
Virgins and Mothers: Sinead O'Connor, Neil Jordan, and The Butcher Boy
Discussions of politics and culture in Ireland often turn on the contested relation between tradition and modernity. In the 1990s, the booming Irish economy and the accompanying explosion of cultural self-confidence, the retreat of institutionalized religion, and the apparent solidification of the precarious peace in the North, combined to suggest that Ireland's historical belatedness was itself a thing of the past. According to President Mary Ma…
Ireland's Others: Ethnicity and Gender in Irish Literature and Popular Culture
National Identities in Performance: The Stage Englishman of Boucicault's Irish Drama
National Identities in Performance: The Stage Englishman of Boucicault's Irish Drama Elizabeth Butler Cullingford (bio) English dramatists created the drunken, stupid, and violent Stage Irishman; the Irish dramatist Dion Boucicault (1820–90) reinvented him as drunken, clever, and charming; and Irish critics have been suspicious of him ever since. 1 Although Ireland suffered dislocations of culture, language, and identity analogous to those experi…
Gender and History in Yeats's Love Poetry
Behind the Scenes: Yeats, Horniman, and the Struggle for the Abbey Theatre
Behind the Scenes presents the story of Dublin's famous Abbey Theatre and its major creative personalities: W. B. Yeats, Annie Horniman, J. M. Synge, and Lady Gregory. Part history, part sociology, part biography, Frazier's work recreates the forces that shaped the Abbey stage, forces that involved the spirited participation of actors, audiences, press, and financiers as well as of the famous poet-playwright who was its co-director. His book unfo…
How Jacques Molay Got Up the Tower: Yeats and the Irish Civil War
Vengeance upon the murderers,' the cry goes up, 'Vengeance for Jacques Molay.' In cloud-pale rags, or in lace, The rage-driven, rage-tormented, and rage-hungry troop, Trooper belabouring trooper, biting at arm or at face, Plunges towards nothing, arms and fingers spreading wide For the embrace of nothing; and I, my wits astray Because of all that senseless tumult, all but cried For vengeance on the murderers of Jacques Molay
