Read by Sharon Arbuthnot.
From the Night of the Big Wind to Flann O’Brien’s description of wind-watching – how the wind has shaped Irish life and literature.
Spreading the Words is a series on the histories of Irish words from literature and everyday life written by Sharon Arbuthnot and Máire Ní Mhaonaigh and produced in association with the book A History of Ireland in 100 Words and the electronic Dictionary of the Irish Language (www.dil.ie).
Across this hour-long lecture, Dr. Lucy Collins evaluates Eva Gore-Booth’s contribution to twentieth-century literature in Ireland and Britain.
