from Part VI - Retrospective Readings
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 28 February 2020
This chapter will consider the most recent English renderings of two key eighteenth-century Gaelic texts, Caoineadh Airt Uí Laoghaire and Cúirt an Mheán Oíche, by Vona Groarke and Ciaran Carson respectively. It will examine the role translation has played in the transition of these texts to a twenty-first-century English-language context. Taking as a starting point the poets’ reflections on their own translations, it will assess their re-imagining of eighteenth-century Gaelic female protest and their engagement with issues such as gender, colonial and cultural politics, voice/performance, and print. In doing so, it will consider the new and timely meanings these poets have brought to the fore in their translations.
