“A peep at the Irish Archaeology of Finnegans Wake I.5 & I.8.”
From host Nathan Wallace: In this meeting I will share my findings about Joyce’s research into Irish prehistoric archaeology for the earliest draft level of Finnegans Wake. This is the core of a book project in progress called Open Sesame: The Irish Archaeology of Finnegans Wake. The main sources for this presentation are R.A.S. Macalister’s essay “Temair Breg: A Study of the Remains and Traditions of Tara” along with T.J. Westropp’s “The Ancient Sanctuaries of Knockainey and Clogher, County Limerick, and their Goddesses” and “The Earthworks, Traditions, and the Gods of South-Eastern Co. Limerick, Especially from Knocklong to Temair Erann.” All three of these originally appeared in Proceedings of the Royal Irish Academy: Archaeology, Culture, History, Literature. Vol. 34 (1917 - 1919). All are available on JSTOR, and I will show excerpts of these during the presentation.
