A talk by Christopher Morash, the Seamus Heaney Professor of Irish Writing in Trinity College Dublin
The evening will offer a unique opportunity to gain insight into the professor's research into the literary salons hosted and attended by renowned Irish writers who "traded inspiration" to fuel their writing. In memoirs and letters, writers such as Lady Gregory, Yeats and George Moore all attest to the value of conversation to their work as writers. In this talk, the professor will explore that rich culture of conversation, uncovering an awareness of differing styles, and an appreciation of conversation as an art in its own right, the written word’s missing shadow.

Seamus Heaney Professor of Irish Writing in Trinity College Dublin
There was a period in Dublin, in the early years of the 20th century, when it was possible, to drop into a literary salon just about every single night of the week. In memoirs and letters, writers such as Lady Gregory, Yeats and George Moore all attest to the value of conversation to their work as writers. In this talk, we will explore that rich culture of conversation, uncovering an awareness of differing styles, and an appreciation of conversation as an art in its own right, the written word’s missing shadow.
It will be, in short, a talk about talk.
The Princess Grace Irish Library is delighted to display the Irish-inspired nativity scene designed last year by the children from the primary school, François d'Assise Nicolas Barré (FANB), as part of the annual Chemin des Crèches for Christmas in Monaco and to commemorate the 40 years anniversary of the Irish Library.
