Archaeology of the Gaelic Revival

Transcript
Foundations
Effects of Archaeological Societies
Most societies predate the alloted dates of the revival:
- Kilkenny and Southeast of Ireland Archaeological Society (RSAI), 1849
- Ossianic Society, 1853
- Ulster Archaeological Society, 1853
- When the Gaelic Revival began, membership grew exponentially
- The societies served as the medium for recovering Gaelic manuscripts
- Manuscripts were used to teach Gaelic to Irish citizens
Reasons for Foundation
- “Just at the moment when the Celtic race is presumably about to largely recover possession of its own country, it finds itself deprived and stript of its Celtic characteristics, cut off from the past, yet scarcely in touch with the present” - Douglas Hyde
- “The most knowledgeable authors say that there is no better way to keep the spirit of nationality alive in any race than by constantly recounting to them the deeds of their ancestors, and for them to have a good knowledge of the history of their native land. It’s not like that with the people of Ireland. Irish history is not taught to them during their youth...It’s part of our ignorance” - Eoin MacNeill
Missions of the Societies
“to preserve the memory of what our ancestors did, of what were their manners and general character; in fact the state of Society in ancient Ireland” - Ulster Journal of Archaeology
