Hardback. 8vo. Original cloth stained. Irish Literature. George A. Birmingham is the pseudonym of James Owen Hannay. He was born on July 16, 1865, in Belfast, the capital of Northern Ireland. Today the house where he was born is a part of the administration building of the Queen’s University of Belfast. It is located on University Road across from the university. On the wall of the house there is a memorial plate which says, “James O. Hannay, George A. Birmingham, Novelist, 1865-1950, Born in this House, July 16”. Behind the tree on the left is the house where Birmingham was born. (Belfast)A memorial plate dedicated to Birmingham (Belfast) At the time when Birmingham was born, the whole island of Ireland was under British rule and there had been a long-lasting conflict between those who claimed that Ireland should stay in Britain and those who insisted Ireland should be free from Britain. Most of the pro-British were immigrants from Britain and their descendants. They were mainly Protestants and called Unionists. On the other hand, most of the pro-Irish had their origins in Ireland. They were mainly Catholics and called Nationalists. Birmingham’s parents were of British origin. His paternal grandfather had immigrated from Scotland to Northern Ireland and married a local woman whose parents also had come from Scotland. They settled themselves in the suburbs of Bushmills, which is famous for whiskey. Birmingham’s father, Robert Hannay (1835-1894), was born there. Later he moved to live in Belfast and gave services as a Church of Ireland clergyman in St. Anne’s Church, today’s St. Anne’s Cathedral, which is located near the city center.

Paperback. 125pp. Bog/Paperback. 2003 Suite i gConamara ár linne, tá gach carachtar in Cúigear Chonamara gafa i saol atá ag plúchadh an spioraid iontu. Caitheann an dráma súil ar an nádúr daonna, agus ní chuirfidh sé díomá ar bith ar lucht léite leabhair Mhichíl – le blaiseadh den ghreann, den bhrón, den chairdeas agus den naimhdeas ann. Bhuaigh Cúigear Chonamara Duais Fhoras na Gaeilge ag Seachtain na Scríbhneoirí i Lios Tuathail i 2002. Is é seo an chéad dráma atá scríofa ag Micheál Ó Conghaile, cé go bhfuil dhá shaothar le Martin McDonagh aistrithe aige: Banríon Álainn an Líonáin (The Beauty Queen of Leenane) agus Ualach an Uaignis (The Lonesome West). Cúigear Chonamara is set in modern-day Connemara, and explores the lives of five characters, each of whom is trapped in a life that is draining their spirits. At times humorous, and at times poignant, this play is another feather in the cap of its esteemed writer. Cúigear Chonamara won the Foras na Gaeilge prize at the Listowel Writers’ Week in 2002, and also won the Stuart Parker Award. It is Micheál Ó Conghaile’s first play, although he has previously translated two works by Martin McDonagh: Banríon Álainn an Líonáin (The Beauty Queen of Leenane) and Ualach an Uaignis (The Lonesome West)
