Women's monastic enclosures in early Ireland: a study of female spirituality
and male monastic mentalities

Lisa M. Bitel

Available online 15 October 2003.


Abstract

Early Irish communities of religious women have never been adequately
studied. However, Irish hagiography, unique among medieval saints' lives
because of the incidental details it offers, provides much evidence about
nuns and nunneries. Because the Irish saints' lives were written by monks,
this information also reveals the monastic attitude towards nuns.
Hagiography shows that many nunneries were established before the seventh
century. But these communities began to disappear soon after, so that today
only the location of a dozen or so are known to historians.

Women's religious communities disappeared for a combination of reasons,
political, social, economic, and spiritual. Secular society was hostile
towards these communities from the start because they consumed a resource
considered precious by men: unmarried women. Male ecclesiastics held an
ambiguous attitude towards nuns and nunneries. They believed that women
could attain salvation as well as themselves. Yet the entire church
hierarchy of Ireland was dominated by supposedly celibate men, whose sacral
functions and ritual celibacy were threatened by women, especially women's
sexuality. Hagiography expressed this threat with the theme of sinful,
lustful nuns; even the spirituality of women vowed to chastity and poverty
was suspect. This attitude affected the structure, organization, and
eventually the survival of women's monastic enclosures in early Ireland.

from one of the non-Aran islands off the Galway or Mayo coast. In the
mid-19th century, his poem was translated into English by George Fox, a
protege of Sir Samuel Ferguson. Fox himself is something of a mystery man.
"The County of Mayo" is his only known poem. He is reported to have
emigrated the America, and to have died in New Guinea at an unknown date.
But it is Flavelle/Lavelle who is my chief interest

Good to know what's in the IUR well in advance of my copy reaching the

One of the regular items in the Autumn/Winter edition is a Bibliography of
all books and articles relating to Irish literature, and culture more
generally, published in the previous year in about twenty-five countries. I
now chair the Bibliography committee and compile the bibliography from
information provided by representatives in each country and by individual
scholars.

I would like to include books and articles relating to the literature of
the Irish diaspora, or culture (language, film, folklore etc). If you are
aware of any such items that have been published in 2004 (or even a year or
two earlier), do let me know - fmolloy[at]csu.edu.au - by May this year.

I am enjoying Irish University Review more than I used to... I
don't know
why, and maybe I should analyse why... Maybe I am getting used to
its
little ways. Maybe editor Anne Fogarty is finding material that
more chimes
with my predilections. The essays seem to be less about
introspective
explorations of individual texts - which I am not against and often
do
enjoy. And more about the placing of texts within wider debates.
So, of
course, diaspora, migration...

Two examples here... Aidan Arrowsmith makes interesting use of the
work of
Liam Greenslade and others in his study of Tom Murphy. John
Brannigan
offers an exploration of the 'racialization of Irish society' using
three
texts, Tom Murphy again, Brendan Behan and James Plunkett. On
Murphy, he
quotes Fintan O'Toole, 'Coventry is the Ireland of the future...'
(To those
of you who do not know Coventry, a city in the English Midlands,
flattened
in World War 11... all I can say is forebode, forebode...)
Brannigan makes
a point that has been made before, but takes it further - comparing
the 2
texts of Behan's An Giall/The Hostage, Irish/English, the additions
in the
English text (Rio Rita and so on) are seen to reflect changes in
English
society and prefigure changes in Ireland...

Dear Paddy

There has been some work on Irish versions of global care networks. Pauline
Conroy gave a paper on 'Migrant women - Ireland in the International
Division of Labour' to the conference on Women's Movement - Migrant Women
Transforming Ireland organised by Ronit Lentin and Eithne Luibheid at
Trinity College, Dublin in March 2003. This and most papers are available at
http://www.tcd.ie/Sociology/mphil/dwnl/migrantwomenpapers.PDF.

I also used the concept briefly in my paper 'Irish women in the diaspora:
exclusions and inclusions' which drew parallels between the experiences of
Irish women outside Ireland and migrants from elsewhere now settling there.
This has recently been published in a special edition of Womren's Studies
International Forum 27 (2004) which also has papers by Ronit Lentin, Carla
Da Tona, Eithne Luibheid, Inbal sansani, Angeline Morrison, Jayne
Ifekwunigwe and Breda Gray.

All the best

Subject: Diaspora Study Abroad Opportunity for US Students

I have had a proposal accepted to offer a two-week course on the Irish in
Britain since 1815 through the Cooperative Center for Study Abroad (CCSA).
The first week will be in London and the second in Dublin. It will run from
December 26, 2005 through January 10, 2006. I am working on some field
trips, including a day in Liverpool. Taking the ferry to Dun Laoghaire
didn't make it. Graduate and undergraduate credit will be available through
Northern Kentucky University.

I will have a web page up soon for the course and a flier - if you have
students who might be interested please ask them to contact me - if you are
within driving range of Murray, Kentucky (not quite the centre of the
universe, I know) I can arrange to come and promote the course with a
presentation, if you are interested. If you can post the flier let me know
and I'll send you some. CCSA accepts students from schools that do not
belong. I did a two week course for them in Dublin in May/June and had 21
students from 13 different universities. It went very well. They do a great
job with logistics and setting up tours.

CCSA focuses on study abroad in English-speaking countries and colleagues in
such will hear from me soon as I plan ways to visit various Diaspora nations
while offering students study abroad opportunities.

Also, if anyone in London, Liverpool, or Dublin might be available to give a
brief guest lecture or otherwise help out (or just visit and get acquainted)
- I'm not sure about honoraria, but I'll buy lunch or dinner.

I've had a few requests for information about Irish Studies journals or
about journals containing Irish Diaspora Studies material. The recurring
question is: Is there a web site...?

This repeats a question that I myself put to the IR-D list a little while
ago.

I've been preparing a little section on www.irishdiaspora.net

See under LINKS, then under JOURNALS...

There I note that there are a number of web pages which list journals of
interest to scholars of Irish Studies, broadly defined...

See, for example...

http://www.searcs-web.com/journals.html

part of Searc's excellent guide to Irish material on the web...
http://www.searcs-web.com/index.html

See also the relevant section of EIRDATA
http://www.pgil-eirdata.org/html/pgil_bibliogs/journals/

And see Stefan Blaschke's History Journals Guide, Geographical Index :
Ireland
http://www.history-journals.de/journals/hjg-region-ire.html

Individual libraries often list their Irish Studies journals on a separate
web page, giving some idea of the available material...

For example
the Memorial University of Newfoundland
http://www.library.mun.ca/qeii/irish/irishjournals.php

the University of Notre Dame
http://www.library.nd.edu/ddw/public/resource_list.cgi?term_id_1=2475&term_i
d_2=17614&list_type=combo_term
NOTE on that web page the Guide to Irish Studies Internet sites
http://www.library.nd.edu/colldev/subject_home_pages/irish/internet_sites.pd
f

the University of St. Thomas
http://www.stthomas.edu/libraries/guides/irish_studies/Irish_journals.htm

and so on...

The slightly more long term plan is that this section becomes a little web
essay on the ways in which material of interest to Irish Diaspora Studies
gets published and becomes visible...

If anybody has any other links to suggest or thoughts to contribute I would
be glad to hear more.

Can I also draw everyone's attention to Bill Mulligan's request for Irish
Diaspora Studies syllabuses, and web sites of interest to his theme,
Teaching the Irish Diaspora.

Yes, not syllabi - I am a syllabuses man...

This is a fairly technical case study of the effects of limited liability on
bank stock shares.

But in itself an interesting example of the use of Irish archives.

The bank studied is the Ulster Banking Company, originally established as an
unlimited liability joint-stock bank in 1836.

Much ado about nothing: the limitation of liability and the market for 19th

Abstract

Limited liability is widely believed to be a prerequisite for the emergence
of an active and liquid securities market because the transactions costs
associated with trading ownership of unlimited liability firms are viewed as
prohibitive. In this article, we examine the trading of shares in an Irish
bank, which limited its liability in 1883. Using this bank's archives, we
assemble a time series of trading data, which we test for structural breaks.
Our results suggest that the move to limited liability had a negligible
impact upon the trading of this bank's shares.
