Listowel Writers' Week in turmoil after the resignation of Colm Tóibín as president

LISTOWEL Writers’ Week is currently undergoing a reappraisal that at one point looked as if it might see the hugely popular festival in north Kerry cancelled. However, that eventuality seems to have been headed off, but deep divisions remain between those who organise the festival and those who have traditionally helped to run it. Ongoing

They're classics now, but what did we think of books by Yeats, Behan and Binchy at the time?

What did The Irish Times first say about some works of literature that turned into classics? We trawled the archive to find out
The Irish Times was founded in March 1859 and, more than 160 years later, is recognised for the quality and the quantity of the pages it devotes to Irish and international literature. Its deep engagement is reflected in the authors who have written columns for it over the years, among them Brian Friel, Kate O’Brien, John Montague, Maeve Binchy, Derek Mahon, Nuala O’Faolain, Stewart Parker and, most famously, Flann O’Brien.
Things got off to a rather sluggish start, however, as Terence Brown observed in his history of the newspaper: “Until the 1880s and 1890s there was little sense that Ireland possessed a literature of its own... This began to change, however, as what became known as the Irish Literary Revival began to make its impact on cultural life.”

Roots: The History of the Tobins | Irish America


Tobin is not an indigenous Irish name, but the family can be regarded as having become completely hibernicized. Its Irish form, Toibín, is a gaelicized version of the Norman ‘St. Aubyn.’ Another interpretation is that the name was first called de St. Aubyn and the original bearers were from Aubyn, in Brittany, France.
According to the renowned Irish historian and genealogist, Edward MacLysaght (1887-1986), the family came to Ireland in the wake of the Norman invasion and by 1200 were settled in Counties Tipperary and Kilkenny, from where they spread to the neighboring counties of Waterford and Cork. They are still found in considerable numbers in those counties, though the name is relatively rare elsewhere in Ireland. The Tobins became so influential in Co. Tipperary that in medieval times, the head of the family was known as Baron of Coursey, though this was not an officially recognized title. According to Clyn in his annals, the fourteenth century Tobins were a turbulent sept more dreaded by the English settlers than the native Irish. The place Ballytobin near Callan, Co. Kilkenny took its name from them.
