[2] Thomson, a renowned Marxist scholar of Classical antiquity and friend of Wittgenstein, came to the Blasket Islands in the 1920s to learn Irish and immerse himself in a “pre‐modern” oral culture. [3] See Cullingford. [4] See Lennon, and Trautmann (93–97). [5] See Cook; Hutton; and Lennon. [6] See Trumpener, and Ferris. [7] See Cahalan. [8] See Trumpener (132–33). I have developed these ideas further in Transformations in Irish Culture (especially Chapters 1, 11–13), and in “Romanticism, Realism and Irish Cinema.” [9] Homology here may be seen as the forms and structures appropriate to the negotiation of the sundered worlds of modernity, some subject to more drastic upheavals than others.
