Eithne O’Neill (Paris): ‘Was Séamus O Neill's autobiographical novel Tonn Tuile (1947) ahead of its time?’

01/003, 27 University Square, Queen's University Belfast

Séamus Ó Néill's autobiographical novel, set in Dublin, portrays the personal and professional struggles of an Ulster-born journalist during the Emergency. At its publication in 1947, the work was well received, notably as the description of a new urban middle class. Might its subsequent neglect be seen as due to its forthright dealing with sensitive issues? How is the head-on approach of the story reflected in the form?Eithne O’Neill is a Dublin-born lecturer in literature, cinema history and translation, based at Université Paris 13. Her books include Stephen Frears (1994); Lubitsch : La Satire Romanesque (1987), and Le Voyage de Chihiro (2019). She is a member of the editorial board of the monthly Positif, has been a jury member for numerous film festivals and is a founding member of An Ghaeltacht sur Seine, and of the Séamus O’Neill Summer School, Castlewellan.This seminar will be available in hybrid form, in-person and online via Teams.
