New Directions in Irish and Irish American Literature promotes fresh
scholarship that explores models of Irish and Irish American identity and
examines issues that address and shape the contours of Irishness and works
that investigate the fluid, shifting, and sometimes multivalent discipline of
Irish Studies. Politics, the academy, gender, and Irish and Irish American
culture, among other things, have not only inspired but affected recent
scholarship centered on Irish and Irish American literature. The series’
focus on Irish and Irish American literature and culture contributes to our
twenty-first century understanding of Ireland, America, Irish Americans,
and the creative, intellectual, and theoretical spaces between.

CHAPTER 1
Introduction
Marguérite Corporaal and Christina Morin
Twenty-first–century research in the humanities increasingly addresses the
question of the impact of ethnic mobility on cultural production and
identity formation. Recently, Bo Stråth has analyzed the extent to which
the traveling of citizens across borders results in the development of
transcultural histories, norms, and communities, arguing that the “ex-
pansion across the world through colonization and the diffusion of
European cultural components to the New World” during the long
nineteenth century involved a profound challenging of European values
and identities in relation to its extended geographies.1 Ireland offers a very
relevant case study for examining the effects of traveling, migration, and
other forms of cultural contact on (re)conceptualizations of transcultural
dynamics, nationalism, homeland, Europe, and diaspora. This is primarily
because Irish intercultural encounters during this period were so varied.

of the earth—wanderers everywhere” obviously refers to the massive
emigration of Irish men and women during the Great Famine (1845–
1850) and subsequent decades, but there were many more forms in which
Irishness traveled and interacted with other communities in the long
nineteenth century.2
The essays gathered in this collection variously address the act and
representation of traveling in its many manifestations by Irish men and
women from diverse walks of life in the period between Grattan’s
Parliament (1782) and the start of World War I (1914). This was a period
marked by an increasing mobility of Irish throughout Britain, Continental
Europe, the Americas, and the Pacific, as authors, artists, soldiers, refugees,
educators, and students, amongst many others, migrated, emigrated, and
toured an ever widening global landscape. The physical movement of
people occurred alongside an increasing material circulation of Irish liter-
ature, artifacts, and goods, expanding upon eighteenth-century networks
of trade, faster modes of transportation and delivery, as well as the emer-
gence of transnational publication markets, after the removal of stamp duty
in 1855 and the access of newspapers to telegraphs in 1870.3 As a result,
systems of cultural as well as economic exchange emerged that helped to
place Ireland at the center of developing transnational and transatlantic
trade routes, commercial and otherwise.
This is a subject, however, that has remained overlooked in scholarship
of Ireland in the long nineteenth century. While several excellent publi-
cations in recent years have investigated Irish migratory patterns, including
Donald McRaild’s The Irish Diaspora in Britain, 1750–1939 (2010) and
Kerby Miller’s Ireland and Irish America (2008), few scholars have
interpreted the term “traveling” as we do here to encompass not just
physical movement but cultural transfer and interaction, translation,
transnational collaboration, and the transcultural reception of “Irishness.”
Nor has there been an interdisciplinary approach to the issue that
acknowledges the important contribution made to the negotiation of Irish
identity in the long nineteenth century by individuals from various social
and cultural backgrounds, involved in different types of travel.
NEW TRENDS IN RESEARCH: THE FAMINE AND BEYOND
Irish traveling in this period has often become synonymous with the
extensive migration during and immediately after Ireland’s Great Famine.
In Letters on Irish Emigration (1852), Edward E. Hale commented on the
1 INTRODUCTION 3
North American diaspora, stating that “[a] large proportion of the emi-
grants have been sent for by their Friends.”4 Many Irish also left for
Argentina and Australia, which funded an emigration scheme for 4000
female orphans.5 The impact of the Great Famine on the establishment of
Irish cultural communities abroad and transnational infrastructures cannot
be overestimated. As Nicholas Flood Davin wrote in 1877, under the
influence of the Archbishop of Halifax, “[s]chools, convents and acade-
mies” that catered for Irish Catholic immigrants “rose around” Canadian
cities,6 and in the United States, Archbishop John Hughes of New York
played a prominent role in the establishment of Catholic schools and
institutions, such as St Vincent’s Hospital.7 Similarly, in Australia, the St
Francis parish in Victoria came to constitute a hub of “genuinely Irish”
Catholicism, as James Francis Hogan wrote in 1888.8
Emigrating Irish men and women not only brought their own religion
and cultural traditions to their new homes, but also actively engaged with
the legacies of their host societies, infusing them with Irish cultural
memories. Thus, Dillon O’Brien’s Irish-American novel The Dalys of
Dalystown (1866) reconfigures the American frontier in the West in terms
of a pastoral Irish landscape that is peopled with Irish mythological crea-
tures, “the green-carpeted ballrooms of the fairies.”9 In this way, Irishness
became an essentially “multidirectional” heritage, to use Michael
Rothberg’s term, in that it intersected with, transformed, and was con-
verted by transcultural contact.10
Despite this predominant emphasis on displaced and relocated Irishness
in the context of Famine migration, Irish studies has adopted a broader
scope for looking at the issue in the last several years. Recent scholarship of
the earlier part of the century, for instance, has begun seriously to recon-
sider the importance of place as well as issues of travel, migration, and
emigration to Romantic-era Irish literature, culture, and politics. Claire
Connolly’s A Cultural History of the Irish Novel, 1790–1829 (2011) per-
suasively explores the “transnational dimension” of Irish novels of the late
eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries, looking at the manner in which
living and publishing outside of Ireland impacted the production of Irish
prose fiction while also investigating the reciprocity of this “flow of cul-
ture.”11 Similarly, Julia M. Wright’s Representing the National Landscape
in Irish Romanticism (2014) compellingly examines Irish Romantic liter-
ature’s intrinsically “international” scope and intent, exploring the various
effects of trade, tourism, migration, emigration, and exile on Irish
4 M. CORPORAAL AND C. MORIN
perceptions and constructions of land, landscape, geography, and the Irish
nation.12
The emerging scholarly emphasis on travel in the Romantic period is
indicative of a growing realization of the extent and impact of the circu-
lation of Irish people, ideas, and objects in the first 30 years or so of the
century. Indeed, as Enda Delaney and Donald M. MacRaild have noted,
the historiographical emphasis on the exodus associated with the Great
Famine has begun to recede in favor of approaches that “[stretch] tem-
poral, geographical and intellectual space in the quest to understand the
mass migrations from Ireland over a longer timescale.”13 The movements
of the early nineteenth century, though often eclipsed by attention to the
tragedies of the Famine, are worth noting for their importance to the
establishment of patterns of mass migration as well as cultural and eco-
nomic exchange that would endure throughout the nineteenth century.
The 1798 Rebellion and ensuing Act of Union (1800) not only “initiated
the slow decline of Dublin as a cultural centre of European importance”
but also witnessed a significant outpouring of migrants that anticipated, in
important ways, Famine-era migration at the same time that it built on
earlier eighteenth-century relocations.14 While, as Louis Cullen has
demonstrated, the Irish left Ireland for a variety of complex reasons and in
diverse roles throughout the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries, the
early nineteenth century marked a period of intensifying migration.15 The
physical movement of people out of Ireland was matched by an imaginative
and material shift, as the center of Irish political, cultural, and economic life
relocated to London and further afield in response to a number of cir-
cumstances, including the abolition of the Irish Parliament, the devastation
of the Irish print industry, “[t]he crisis in domestic textiles,” and absentee
landlordism.16
A broader scope also marks research on post-Famine manifestations of
traveling Irishness, which tends to focus on two important strains:
nationalism and aestheticism. Recent examples of scholarship centered on
the former include David A. Wilson’s volume Irish Nationalism in Canada
(2009), which examines the responses of Irish-Canadian nationalism to
Irish events and Canadian politics until 1920; Michael G. Malouf’s
Transatlantic Solidarities: Irish Nationalism and Caribbean Poetics
(2009), which demonstrates the significant impact of the nationalist
rhetoric of Eamon de Valera, George Bernard Shaw, and James Joyce on
the political self-representation of Marcus Garvey, Claude McKay, and
Derek Walcott; and Ely M. Janis’s A Greater Ireland: The Land League
1 INTRODUCTION 5
and Transatlantic Nationalism in Gilded Age America (2015), which
discusses the impact of the Land League on Irish-American nationalism in
the 1880s.17
Malouf’s monograph also deals with the question of Irish participation
in and contribution to nineteenth-century aestheticism, exemplifying a
trend to investigate the influence of Irish culture on and interaction with
movements in visual and performative arts as well as literature. This
scholarship, which examines the impact of trans-European networks on the
development of Irish art, theater, and literature, and, conversely, the
imprint that Irish art and culture have left on artists and movements
abroad, mainly concerns work by writers and artists involved in the Revival,
as well as those that are associated with Irish modernism. Michael
McAteer’s Yeats and European Drama (2010), for example, not only
discusses the influence of the Norwegian dramatist Henrik Ibsen and the
Belgian playwright Maurice Maeterlinck on Yeats’s theatrical oeuvre, but
also foregrounds Yeats’s considerable influence elsewhere in Europe, for his
Nobel Prize ceremony in Stockholm was accompanied by a performance of
Cathleen Ni Houlihan by the Swedish Royal Theatre.18 Such an approach,
which associates one of the chief founders of the national Irish Literary
Theatre in 1899 with European cosmopolitanism, does justice to the fact
that many Irish artists and writers towards the end of the nineteenth
century, such as J.M. Synge (France and Germany) and painter John
Lavery (England, France, and Morocco), traveled through and worked in
and beyond Europe, and sometimes frequented avant-garde circles.19
At the same time, it necessitates a reconsideration of art and literature by
Irish men and women—even when realized in the context of nationalist
movements such as the Revival—as inherently cosmopolitan. John Lavery’s
oil painting In Morocco (c. 1912) is a striking case in point of how Irish
aesthetics “traveled”: inspired by Lavery’s residence during the European
winter months in Tangier, the work of art depicts an indigenous inhabitant
as well as orientalized versions of Lavery’s wife Hazel and her daughter
Alice, who are dressed according to local customs. This is especially
poignant as, Lavery also used his spouse as the model for his epitome of
Ireland in Portrait of Lady Hazel Lavery as Kathleen ni Houlihan (1928).
While his physical travels led Lavery to bring North African culture into
Europe through his art, the painting itself is an example of how Irish art
“traveled” abroad: in this case, to Australia, where it has been on display at
the National Gallery of Victoria in Melbourne since 1915, through
6 M. CORPORAAL AND C. MORIN
intercession by the Australian artist Hilda Rix Nicholas, who had visited
Lavery in Tangier in 1914.
FURTHER EXPLORATIONS: THE ESSAYS IN THIS COLLECTION
Anne Cormican’s “William Orpen (1878–1931): A Voice for Pluralism in
the Long Nineteenth Century,” engages with this idea of the work of art as
an expression of cross-cultural influence that results from traveling.
Discussing the attempts of artist William Orpen to introduce Ireland to
French impressionism, as a stimulus for Irish artists to explore foreign
forms of aesthetics, Cormican explores the role of Hugh Lane’s Dublin
Municipal Gallery in this process. She also analyzes Orpen’s responses—
colored by his own cosmopolitan vision and stay in France—to the ideal-
ization of the West in Revival art.
Cormican’s essay is included in the second section of this volume,
“Traveling Genres, Movements, and Forms,” which incorporates two other
contributions that look at the ways in which Irishness in nationalist thought
and art “traveled” to and from other sociocultural contexts and thereby
became a site of transcultural negotiation. Marguérite Corporaal’s essay
examines the idea of a traveling text on local Irish peasant life, in the form of
a series of translations in French, German, and Dutch of a text called The
Irish Cottage, which was published anonymously in London in 1835.
Explaining the cross-European reception of The Irish Cottage in the context
of existing regionalist traditions in fiction in Continental Europe, Corporaal
sheds light on an unexpected form of traveling Irishness that bears witness
to a general interest in the Irish Question in Europe. Furthermore, her
contribution makes clear that, whereas scholars today tend to view
local-color fiction as an expression of regional anxieties as well as nationalist
concerns, the genre had a strong transcultural function and appeal.
Peter O’Neill’s essay, “Traveling Irishness and the Transnational James
Connolly,” is concerned with James Connolly as a cultural broker whose
transatlantic encounters with syndicalism and other radical movements
subsequently deeply influenced his political practice in Ireland. Having
spent several years as a union organizer and socialist activist in the United
States before returning to Ireland in time to lead the doomed Easter Rising
of 1916, Connolly’s life and work continued to be greatly influenced by
left-wing movements in America that involved immigrant organizers and
participants. Defined not by motifs of settlement and assimilation—reter-
ritorialization—but by movement and circulation—deterritorialization—
1 INTRODUCTION 7
James Connolly affords us a perspective on “traveling Irishness” that is
distinctly radical and post-national, O’Neill demonstrates.
The first section of this volume, “Exploring the Continent: Traveling
Irish,” looks at the issue of traveling from a more conventional perspective,
including essays about well-and lesser-known Irish who reported on their
journeys to Italy or Germany in published travelogues. All three contri-
butions included in this section specifically consider the role of women
travelers and the impact that gender had on their experiences as
Continental tourists and authors. Contributions by Anne O’Connor and
Peter Gray focus on nineteenth-century Irish female travelers to Italy.
O’Connor’s “Travel Literature and Traveling Irishness: An Italian Case
Study” explores Julia Kavanagh’s travel book on Italy, A Summer and a
Winter in the Two Sicilies (1858), demonstrating that the text sheds light
on some of the most important trends in Irish travel to Italy in the nine-
teenth century. O’Connor argues against the dominance of Anglophone
countries in the study of Irish travel which, in her view, needs to be
counterbalanced by an understanding of the impact of key European
countries such as Italy in fundamental periods of Irish identity formation.
Her analysis of Kavanagh’s travel narrative illustrates how the
nineteenth-century Irish experience of Italy resulted in the assimilation of
Italy as a trope of decay, of decadent beauty, of Catholic entrenchment,
and of nationalist inspiration.
Interested in the same mid-century period, Gray focuses on an impor-
tant travel report, Life in Tuscany (1859), by Mabel Sharman Crawford
(1821–1912), the daughter of the Ulster radical landlord and politician
William Sharman Crawford and herself a committed radical and feminist
writer and activist. Her account of her 10-month sojourn in Italy is unusual
in that it approaches Italy through a highly political and proto-feminist lens
that is strongly influenced by Sharman Crawford’s activism both in the
interest of Irish land reform and as a member of the Central Committee of
the National Society for Women’s Suffrage. In other words, Sharman
Crawford brings Irish issues to bear upon the social conditions she wit-
nesses in Tuscany, using the foreign travel destination as a screen onto
which she can displace an analysis of present-day land and gender politics.
Gray’s essay explores the problems posed by utilizing the genre of travel
writing to convey a strongly political interpretation of and agenda for
Italian reform, and relates this to Sharman Crawford’s subsequent writings,
including her ambivalent treatment of French colonialism in Through
Algeria (1863) and her popular novels.
8 M. CORPORAAL AND C. MORIN
Turning attention elsewhere on the Continent, Joachim Fischer’s essay
investigates Irish travelers’ accounts of Germany—an area that has received
very little attention to date but that contributes considerably to our
knowledge not only of Irish-German relations in the nineteenth century
but also of Irish modes of self-definition. It revisits earlier publications on
Irish travel accounts to Germany and reviews their findings in the light of
more recent research as well as primary texts which have since come to
light. The essay devotes particular attention to travel accounts by women,
especially Maria Francis Dickson’s recently rediscovered Souvenirs of a
Summer in Germany in 1836 (1837), which ranks among the most
important Irish travel accounts of Germany of the whole nineteenth cen-
tury. Fischer’s analysis emphasizes the importance of recovering over-
looked Irish travel accounts from the first half of the nineteenth century,
demonstrating the manner in which such works provided a telling forum
for the negotiation of complex identities in this period.
Sections three and four—“Representations of Traveling” and
“Experiencing Migration”—consider the diverse means and methods by
which Irish men and women undertook and made sense of travel in the
long nineteenth century. Matthew Reznicek compellingly discusses the
Continental influences in the work of Maria Edgeworth (1767–1849),
who, unlike many Irish writers of the Romantic period, remained in Ireland
for the majority of her career but was nevertheless fundamentally influ-
enced by the wide, transnational intellectual circles in which she moved, as
well as the travel she undertook with her father before his death in 1817.
Reznicek’s persuasive reading of Ormond (1817)—often considered
Edgeworth’s last “Irish” novel—turns attention to the tale’s relatively brief
Parisian interlude, understanding it as central to Edgeworth’s engagement
with Ireland in the novel. As Ormond attends various theaters in the
French capital, Reznicek argues, Edgeworth revisits eighteenth-century
debates on the nature of Parisian theater and drama, subtly supporting,
through Ormond’s experiences, the reforms advocated by Enlightenment
intellectuals such as Diderot, Marmontel, and Cochin. As she does so, she
situates Ormond’s exposure to the Parisian theater as central to his growth
as an individual as well as to his ability to contribute to the creation of an
idealized, moral community once returned home to Ireland.
Jim Shanahan’s consideration of the works of Charles Lever (1806–1872)
is equally revelatory of nineteenth-century Irish authors’ use of travel as a key
component in the negotiation of a cosmopolitan Irish identity. As Shanahan
observes, Lever’s prolific fictional output reflects his own geographical
1 INTRODUCTION 9
movements, revealing his conflicted feelings towards his self-imposed exile as
well as his interest in positioning the nineteenth-century Irish as participants
in a wider British identity. Identifying three different types of travelers in
Lever’s oeuvre—“soldiers of fortune,” “civilian tourists,” and “Irishmen in
reverse”—Shanahan explores the manner in which they variously triumph
and censure Irish society at the same time that they underline the pivotal role
to be played in the modern British nation by socially and geographically
mobile Irishmen and women.
In her exploration of the little-known works of Irish émigré authors
publishing with London’s Minerva Press in the first half of the century,
Morin, too, assesses the contribution of Irish writers to the British nation
and its developing networks of trade and material circulation. Like Lever,
authors such as Roche, Catherine Selden (fl. 1797), Henrietta Rouvière
Mosse (d. 1834), and Sarah Green (fl. 1790–1825) embed their own
experiences of migration into their works, reflecting in often bittersweet
ways on their reasons for leaving Ireland and the difficulties they experi-
enced abroad. Their works themselves, in their participation in a newly
internationalized and internationalizing British print industry, both mirror
their authors’ personal travels and trace developing patterns of dissemi-
nation and circulation. As they do so, they engage in a negotiation of
Irishness indicative of the “flow of culture” enabled by the Minerva Press
and the expansive bibliographic spread of Irish popular fiction it
encouraged.20
Jason King similarly discusses the manner in which print dissemination
might be seen to function as a form of traveling Irishness in his consid-
eration of the development of Irish-American and Irish-Canadian versions
of the national tale over the course of the long nineteenth century.
Assessing divergent representations of the 1798 Rebellion and the
republicanism that drove it in works like The Irish Emigrant, an Historical
Tale Founded on Fact (1817), The Young Reformers (1829), Ridgeway An
Historical Romance of the Fenian Invasion of Canada (1868), and A Maid
of Ontario: A Story of Buffalo, Toronto, and the Fenian Raid of 1866
(1905), King dissects the ideological relocation of the national tale to
North America and its use as a tool with which to fashion Irish diasporic
identities in nineteenth-century America and Canada. His convincing
analysis of these texts provides a fresh perspective on the many variations of
the national tale that existed across the nineteenth century, as well as the
form’s function as a site of discursive transnationalism.21
10 M. CORPORAAL AND C. MORIN
Where Morin and King consider the material and ideological circulation
of print as central to ongoing negotiations of Irishness in the nineteenth
century, Meidhbhín Ní Urdail examines the contribution of manuscript
culture to the evolution of a hybrid Irish identity in the Victorian period.
As Ní Urdail perceptively demonstrates, the manuscripts and correspon-
dence of Cork-born scribe Thomas O’Connor (b. 1798), writing from his
adoptive home in London, evidence an individual who ably integrated into
English society while maintaining a distinctive Irish identity. O’Connor’s
handwritten books and letters, Ní Urdail contends, provide a key resource
on Irish migrants’ continued engagement with questions of Irish cultural
nationalism in mid-to late-nineteenth century Britain. Moreover, in
anticipating many of the interests and concerns of the Irish Literary Revival
at the close of the century, Ní Urdail suggests, O’Connor’s works
underscore the continued and varied interaction of Irish migrants
throughout the nineteenth century with the promotion, encouragement,
and advancement of Irish cultural life.
Comprising this wide range of perspectives on and interpretations of
traveling Irishness, this volume reveals the dynamic nature of identity
formation and cultural transmission during the long nineteenth century,
thereby shedding a transnational light on an era that has traditionally been
associated with nationalism and regionalism. As it does so, moreover, it
contributes significant new insights to current discussions about transcul-
tural identities and heritages currently at the forefront of not just Irish
studies, but the humanities in general.

PART I
Exploring the Continent: Traveling Irish
CHAPTER 2
Travel Literature and Traveling
Irishness: An Italian Case Study
Anne O’Connor
Studies of Irish travel literature have been dominated by travel to Ireland.
Apart from some groundbreaking studies by scholars such as Joachim
Fischer on German travel, and recent publications by Raphaël Ingelbien,
Irish interactions with Europe through travel literature have largely been
ignored.1 The importance of travel literature for the study of intercultural
interactions is evident, and yet it is surprising how little attention has been
paid to Irish travelers on the Continent in the nineteenth century.2
Recently, a rising interest in transnational Irish studies has increased the
scholarly attention to Irish connections with other countries, but this
development has been dominated by studies on interactions between
Ireland and Anglophone countries.3 This chapter will address these gaps by
studying the outward travel of Irish writers to a non-Anglophone country,
namely Italy. Using the case study of Julia Kavanagh’s travel book on Italy,
A Summer and Winter in the Two Sicilies (1858), the chapter will examine
some of the most important trends in Irish travel to Italy in the nineteenth
century, namely nationalism, religion, politics, and alterity.

IRISHNESS?
It must be acknowledged from the outset that “Irishness” is in fact a very
muted presence in Irish travel literature in the nineteenth century. In the
early decades of the century, Irish writers of travel books did not generally
mention being Irish and frequently made no reference to Ireland in their
works. This changed somewhat from the 1830s, with the reemergence of
an Irish publishing industry in Dublin and Belfast which allowed for greater
Irishness to be present in printed works. On the publication of George
Downes’s Letters from Continental Countries in 1832, for example, a
reviewer commented: “There is one peculiar point which ought to be
pleasing to his countrymen in particular, as it is to us; his comparisons are
drawn from Ireland.”4 Although more travel books containing references
to Ireland emerged from this time onwards, works published in London
still bore few traces of Irishness. The absence of Irishness in travel accounts
may be due to the nature of the publishing trade in nineteenth-century
Ireland, but it is also attributable to the profile of the travelers who went to
the continent in this period and wrote travel accounts of their journeys. In
the nineteenth century, travel from Ireland to Europe represented a major
undertaking that involved considerable expense and, at times, risk. On her
return to Ireland from Italy in 1820, Lady Morgan said: “We were par-
ticularly fortunate in such a long journey as we have made throughout
Italy, not to have met with an accident, and in a country too, part of which
is infested with banditti; but the fatigue was killing, accommodation
wretched, and expense tremendous.”5 Due to the expense and time
involved in traveling to Europe, this form of voyage was only open initially
to the upper classes in society, and, as the century progressed, the wealthy
middle classes. The nature of society in Ireland meant that many of those
who could afford a trip to Europe were part of an Anglo-Irish minority;
their works contain but few references to Ireland, and their comparisons
were generally drawn between Europe and England.
In the late 1840s, the writer Julia Kavanagh wrote to Charles Gavan
Duffy, the editor of the Nation newspaper, saying: “I am Irish by origin,
birth and feeling, though not by education; but if I have lived far from
Ireland, she has still been as that faith and religion of my youth. I have ever
been taught to love her with my whole soul.”6 Offering Duffy help with his
patriotic newspaper The Nation, Kavanagh’s allegiance to Ireland cannot
be doubted. However, her travel book on Italy, A Summer and Winter in
the Two Sicilies, published in London in 1858, offers very few hints of her
2 TRAVEL LITERATURE AND TRAVELING IRISHNESS: AN ITALIAN CASE STUDY 17
Irishness, and although she does not hide her nationality, Ireland makes
only sporadic appearances in her travel account. Kavanagh, like many other
nineteenth-century Irish writers of travel literature, had lived for a large
part of her life outside of Ireland: she was born in Thurles, Co. Tipperary in
1824, and in her early childhood she left with her parents for London. She
spent much time in France and England but nevertheless, the Dublin
University Magazine identified her in its review of her travel book as “our
accomplished countrywoman” and spoke of her “inquiring, intelligent
Irish eyes.”7 Kavanagh perceived herself as Irish, and in her travel work,
overt references to Ireland are rare but noteworthy. The first reference of
interest is when Kavanagh remarks that she gained special access to circles
of Italian society which might otherwise not have been possible were it not
for her nationality:
It is difficult indeed to express strongly enough the inveterate reserve of the
Italian character, for to let lodgings to you is by no means to admit you even
remotely onto a sort of intimacy. And when Baron____, without solicitation,
and through pure, gratuitous kindness and courtesy, opened his private
chapel to us, the act created great astonishment in the person who gave us
the news. It was, he assures us, quite an infraction of the family habits of strict
privacy. I believe the motive of the distinction was simply that we were Irish.8
As Ingelbien has discussed, travel to Europe offered Irish men and women
the opportunity to differentiate themselves from English travelers.9 For
Kavanagh, her Irish nationality marked her out from other travelers and
gave her special access to places that were not open to other nationalities.
A common feature of travel literature is the insertion of comparative
frameworks that help the reader to understand an otherwise foreign
environment. Although Kavanagh generally refers to English society for
her comparisons, at one point when describing the poor state of the Italian
economy and society she says:
“A tragic spectacle” indeed; yet not really as tragic as an Irish famine and an
English workhouse. Political enslavement is degrading, but starvation is a
step lower down to “the nether pit.”10
The fact that Kavanagh in this quotation is discussing poverty makes the
choice of an Irish analogy understandable. When discussing poverty in
Italy, it was normal for Irish writers to draw on their witnessing of
18 A. O’CONNOR
deprivation in Ireland. Lady Morgan, who similarly did not include many
Irish references in her travel books, nonetheless mentions Irish poverty,
and the Irish writer Mrs. T. Mitchell, when discussing Italian poverty,
references the situation in Ireland.11 When Kavanagh refers to Irish
poverty however, she also uses an English workhouse as a comparative
framework for Italian poverty. The English and the Irish references could
sit side by side in Kavanagh’s texts, due to her own hybrid cultural back-
ground. Indeed, Kavanagh’s ability to contrast different cultures and tra-
ditions points to her own transnational experiences; in one situation when
describing an Italian religious festival she says:
In England they drink, and beat their wives; in France they drink rather less
but they dance and whilst they dance the police must look on. Here they pray
and make merry; and, thrice happy in this, they do not separate joy from
worship.12
Comparative transnationalism allowed Kavanagh to make multicultural
allusions, and later in her book she blends Irish, English, French, and
Italian references when discussing the combativeness of various nationali-
ties.13 Kavanagh did not hide her Irishness even though her readership was
mainly English; rather, the Irishness was but one element of her transna-
tional identity. The travel literature that Irish writers such as Lady Morgan,
Countess Blessington, and Julia Kavanagh generated in this period
reflected their hybrid identities as people who moved between many cul-
tures and who were able to draw on experiences in Ireland, England, and
continental Europe as part of their travel writing.
RELIGION
In common with other writers, Irish authors were happy to discuss the
beauty, the history, and the heritage of Italy, but they also paid particular
attention to the religion of the country, as they had a special interest in this
area. Protestant writers were fascinated with the rituals and customs of the
Catholic religion and also with the powerful position of Catholicism in
Italy.14 As they traveled through the country, they wrote accounts of
religious practices, and often the religion of the majority of Italians was
viewed with scorn and distrust.15 Nineteenth-century Ireland experienced
much religious division and sectarianism, and differing views on
Catholicism seeped into travel narratives. As travel to the continent became
