take back dark academia from anglicisation. nothing is more "dark academia" than pádraig pearse running an all-boy's school and using the grounds and basement for conspiracies against the british government. nothing is more "dark academia" than wb yeats pining over maude gonne and casting her as the personification of ireland in his play about self-sacrifice. nothing is more "dark academia" than the entire aesthetic of the year of terror

“I dwell on the importance of the personal element in education. I would have every child not merely a unit in a school attendance, but in some intimate personal way the pupil of a teacher, or to use more expressive words, the disciple of a master … the main objective in education is to help the child to be his own true and best self. What the teacher should bring to his pupil is not a set of…

even though i kind of hate morgan llewelyn's 1916: a novel of the irish rebellion i have to admit it is the best example i have of a peak irish dark academia novel

examples:

the plot revolves around a teenage boy trying to raise enough money for a rifle and uniform while simultaneously freaking out because his final is coming up and he has to learn middle irish

lavish descriptions of the way joseph plunkett dresses

like 90% of the plot happens at st. enda's school

we see Headmaster Pearse in full portrait and very little of Commander Pearse. there's a lot of being stern and catching the boys smoking on the lawn

michael collins has a cameo but he's introduced as "my father's new secretary, don't mind him" and described as a lad who looks like he's burning the candle at both ends and i love that because no one would catch that it’s him except someone who knows that he worked as count plunkett's secretary

there's a lot of alcohol, like every scene someone is drinking a beer or whiskey or brandy or whatever.

even the schoolboys, like there's this part where they sneak a bottle into the dormitory and get caught by thomas macdonagh but he lets them off the hook because he understands

the connolly kidnapping is in there and the way it's written is legitimately terrifying. it’s like a lighthearted book for the most part but then, you’re like oh okay these people have the capacity to do great damage to those around them

there’s this whole plotline about pearse going to america to raise money on a lecture circuit and it’s very shady and clandestine

"i would die for cathleen ni houlihan" "but she's not real.”

there’s a scene where the boys are playing hurling in their school uniforms and their school uniforms are like these super constrictive white-starched shirts and collars and jackets and waistcoats and whatever so it’s difficult but none of them want to get in trouble and take their uniforms off

“a conspiracy of poets”

there are guns and gunpowder hidden in the basement

the main character is one of the lads who’s in the massacre at the wharf when they try to get german weapons

there’s a part where they put on a play based on the life of brian ború and they get so into it

being like cú chulainn in bravery and nobility and strength is like this big motif but it’s hilarious because cú chulainn was also a crazy person 

a good reflection of the whole situation at st. enda’s tbh

they were brave and noble and strong but also wildly misguided

and that’s what i take away from this novel
