This essay investigates the impact of the Irish Great Famine on the literary movement which came to be known as the Celtic Revivalist movement that dominated Ireland in the 1880s and 1890s. It singles out Yeats and Synge as representatives of this movement. It argues that the absence of the Great Hunger in this literature had been driven by a complex combination of aesthetic, political and psychological factors. Aesthetically, the Revivalists sought a poetic beyond nationalistic sentimentalism and self-victimization. Politically, they sought an idea of the nation beyond historical trauma and divisiveness. Psychologically, the Great Hunger induced what George Steiner calls a poetics of “silence.” The essay seeks to show that these factors or agencies overlap and reveal themselves in the narratives of Yeats and Synge, no matter how they try to stifle or repress them. |
