As Highland Chief of Clan Campbell, he was at home in the Gaelic-speaking community of the West and the Isles; as Scottish peer he had estates in the Scottish-speaking Lowlands; as brother-in-law to Mary, Queen of Scots, he had access to the court; and as a recently converted Protestant, he had a common bond with Cecil. In his now-classic work of literary criticism, Inventing Ireland, Kiberd tells the story of Gaelic-speaking Blasket islanders, gathered around a cottage hearth during Easter Week, 1916, who first hear the news of the violent uprising in Dublin. There is no longer any serious doubt that the extraordinarily high levels of religious practice which set Catholics in twentieth-century Ireland apart from their co-religionists in the rest of western Europe supplanted a pre-Famine regime in which many Catholics, especially in Gaelic-speaking areas of the north and west, seldom attended mass. |
