SUMMARY:Fintan O’Toole Lectures on “Brexit\, Ireland and the Rise of English Nationalism”
DESCRIPTION:Friday\, March 2\, 2018\n4:30 p.m.\nEast Pyne 010\, Princeton University campus\nFREE and open to the public \nTheater critic and scholar Fintan O’Toole gives the annual Robert Fagles Memorial Lecture on “Brexit\, Ireland and the rise of English nationalism\,” at 4:30 p.m. This event is free but there is limited seating on a first-come\, first-seated basis. \n\nIrish theater critic and scholar Fintan O’Toole will present the 2018 Robert Fagles Memorial Lecture\, entitled “Brexit\, Ireland and the Rise of English Nationalism\,” on Friday\, March 2 at 4:30 p.m. in East Pyne Room 010 on the Princeton University campus. Part of the 2017-18 Fund for Irish Studies series at Princeton University\, this event is free and open to the public. \nO’Toole’s writing on Brexit\, the prospective withdrawal of the United Kingdom from the European Union\, has won both the European Press Prize and the George Orwell Prize for Journalism in 2017. \n“Brexit\, Ireland and the Rise of English Nationalism” explores the roots of Brexit in the unacknowledged crisis of English identity\, the threat it poses to the hard-won peace in Northern Ireland\, and the reasons why Ireland will not follow its nearest neighbor out of the European Union. \nFintan O’Toole\, one of Ireland’s leading public intellectuals\, is a columnist for The Irish Times and Leonard L. Milberg ’53 visiting lecturer in Irish Letters at Princeton. He also contributes to The New York Review of Books\, The New Yorker\, Granta\, The Guardian\, The Observer\, and other international publications. His books on theater include works on William Shakespeare\, Richard Brinsley Sheridan\, and Thomas Murphy. His books on politics include the best sellers Ship of Fools and Enough is Enough. In 2011\, The Observer named O’Toole one of “Britain’s top 300 intellectuals.” He has received the A.T. Cross Award for Supreme Contribution to Irish Journalism\, the Millennium Social Inclusion Award\, and Journalist of the Year in 2010\, the Orwell Prize and the European Press Prize. O’Toole’s History of Ireland in 100 Objects\, which covers 100 highly charged artifacts from the last 10\,000 years\, is currently the basis for Ireland’s postage stamps. His most recent book is Judging Shaw: The Radicalism of GBS\, published by the Royal Irish Academy\, and he has recently been appointed official biographer of Seamus Heaney.   \nRobert Fagles\, for whom the annual Memorial Lecture is named\, was a member of the Princeton faculty for 42 years in the Department of Comparative Literature and a renowned translator of Greek classics. His critically acclaimed translations of Homer’s “The Iliad” and “The Odyssey” became bestsellers. \nThe Fund for Irish Studies\, chaired by Princeton professor Clair Wills\, affords all Princeton students\, and the community at large\, a wider and deeper sense of the languages\, literatures\, drama\, visual arts\, history\, politics\, and economics not only of Ireland but of “Ireland in the world.” The series is co-produced by the Lewis Center for the Arts. The spring 2018 edition of the series is organized by O’Toole as acting chair of the Fund for Irish Studies. \n To learn more about the more than 100 public performances\, exhibitions\, readings\, screenings\, concerts\, lectures and special events\, most of them free\, presented each year by the Lewis Center for the Arts\, visit arts.princeton.edu.

SUMMARY:Reading by Sally Rooney
DESCRIPTION:Friday\, March 9\, 2018\n4:30 p.m.\nEast Pyne 010\nFREE and open to the public \nIrish author Sally Rooney\, winner of the 2017 Sunday Times Young Writer of the Year Award\, reads from her work. \n\nIrish novelist Sally Rooney will present a reading on Friday\, March 9 at 4:30 p.m. in East Pyne 010 on the Princeton University campus. The reading\, which is free and open to the public\, is presented by the Fund for Irish Studies series at Princeton University. \nSally Rooney’s debut novel Conversations with Friends was published in 2017 and was selected by The Sunday Times\, The Guardian\, Observer\, Daily Telegraph\, and Evening Standard as a Book of the Year. The novel has been longlisted for the 2018 International Dylan Thomas Prize and shortlisted for the 2017 Bord Gáis Energy Irish Book Award: Sunday Independent Newcomer of the Year\, and the 2017 Books Are My Bag Readers Choice Award. Rooney was the winner of the 2017 Sunday Times/Peters Fraser & Dunlop Young Writer of the Year Award. Born in Mayo and now living in Dublin\, she is the editor of the literary magazine The Stinging Fly\, and her writing has appeared in The New Yorker\, Granta\, The Dublin Review and elsewhere. Her new novel\, Normal People\, is being published in September. \nA review of Conversations with Friends in The New Yorker states\, “She [Rooney] writes with a rare\, thrilling confidence\, in a lucid and exacting style uncluttered with the sort of steroidal imagery and strobe flashes of figurative language that so many dutifully literary novelists employ.” \nThe Fund for Irish Studies\, chaired by Princeton professor Clair Wills\, affords all Princeton students\, and the community at large\, a wider and deeper sense of the languages\, literatures\, drama\, visual arts\, history\, politics\, and economics not only of Ireland but of “Ireland in the world.” The series is co-produced by the Lewis Center for the Arts. The spring 2018 edition of the series is organized by O’Toole as acting chair of the Fund for Irish Studies.
