| Résumé : | This interdisciplinary discussion explores cultural nationalism across the creative arts in relation to the significance of the ancient saga, the Táin. Thomas Kinsella’s 1969 translation of Táin Bó Cuailnge [Brown Bull of Cooley] has proved to be a key post-Revival literary source from the ancient manuscripts of Ireland, as it has prompted renewed interest in the saga. Various creative artists have engaged with the Táin as a result of this translation, thereby contributing to a novel movement toward Irish cultural nationalism. The paper compares two Táin-inspired compositions by James Wilson and Aloys Fleischmann as each composer’s musical language yields insight into prevailing attitudes in Irish society towards the end of the 20th century. |
