Considered by many to be the greatest Irish song poet of her
generation, Maire Bhui Ni Laeire (Yellow Mary O'Leary; 1774-1848)
was an illiterate woman unconnected to elite literary and
philosophical circles who powerfully engaged the politics of her
own society through song. As an oral arts practitioner, Maire Bhui
composed songs whose ecstatic, radical vision stirred her community
to revolt and helped to shape nineteenth-century Irish
anti-colonial thought. This provocative and richly theorized study
explores the re-creative, liminal aspect of song, treating it as a
performative social process that cuts to the very root of identity
and thought formation, thus re-imagining the history of ideas in
society.
