Daibhi O Bruadair wrote many poems in praise of the Jacobite war effort and in particular of his hero, Patrick Sarsfield.
The main poets of this period include Dáibhí Ó Bruadair (David O Bruadair) (1625?–1698), Piaras Feiritéar (1600?–1653) and Aogán Ó Rathaille (1675–1729).

David Wheatley salutes a new translation from Ciaran Carson of Brian Merriman's The Midnight Court
While the collapse of the Gaelic order gave bards such as Aodhagán O Rathaille and Dáibhí O Bruadair a lifelong theme, Merriman has no time for tribal pieties: he treats the visionary aisling genre with all the reverence of Father Ted kicking Bishop Brennan up the arse.
Like his contemporary Lawrence Sterne, he is a prime example of the scabrous fl humour that runs through Irish writing from the anonymous author of the Vision of Mac Conglinne all the way to Merriman's latest translator, Ciaran Carson.

"O" was originally Ó which in turn came from Ua (originally hUa), which means "grandson", or "descendant" of a named person.
For example, the descendants of High King of Ireland Brian Boru were known as the Ua Brian (O'Brien) clan.
The prefix is often written as O', using an English apostrophe instead of the Irish fada mark.

 Science Fair Projects - Dáibhí Ó Bruadair
He was born either in County Cork or County Limerick and spent most of his adult life in the latter county, receiving the patronage of both Gaelic and Anglo-Irish landowners.
This patronage was vital, as O Bruadair was the first of the 17th century poets to attempt to live purely from his poetry in the manner of the professional bards of the medieval period.
He was a poet of considerable range, and wrote on historical and political subjects, as well as producing elegies on a number of his patrons, bitter satires on Cromwellian planters, religious poems of real feeling and, almost uniquely amongst Gaelic poets, at least two epithalamia.

It is also very common for people of Gaelic origin to have surnames beginning with "O" or "Mc" (less frequently "Mac" and occasionally shortened to just "Ma" at the beginning of the name).
"O" comes from Ua (originally hUa), which means "grandson", or "descendant" of a named person.
Some common surnames that begin with O are: O Reilly, O Neill, O Brien, O Connor, O Leary, O Shaughnessy, O Donnell, O Powell, O Toole, O Meara, O Malley, O Hara, and O Bradaigh.

In fact, Mrs Cronin, with her educated family connections, reminds me of Mrs Anna Brown of Falkland, an extraordinary bearer of folk tradition, who was both the wife of a minister and the daughter of a university professor.
David Buchan, in his study of the balladry of north east Scotland, opined that Mrs Brown, although a literate and educated woman, was able to operate as a re-creative folk performer because she was mentally and culturally rooted in the oral creative processes of the folk.

When this essay was first presented as a paper at the 1998 MLA conference in San Francisco, an audience member suggested that in these cartoons the Irish and British males may embody an interpretation of the national character, while the females embody an interpretation of the national soul.
Compare David Lloyd’s argument that ‘the processes of hybridization active in the Irish street ballads or in Ulysses are at every level recalcitrant to the aesthetic politics of nationalism and…imperialism.
Hybridization or adulteration resist identification both in the sense that they cannot be subordinated to a narrative of representation and in the sense that they play out the unevenness of knowledge which, against assimilation, foregrounds the political and cultural positioning of the audience or reader’ (1993, 114).

They can hardly, therefore, represent the development of a more simple medium to suit a less sophisticated audience, as has sometimes been suggested, and their provenance is still a matter of controversy.
The most prominent poets of the period were Séathrún Céitinn, Pádraigín Haicéad (1600-54), a Dominican priest who was much involved in the politics of his day, and Dáibhí Ó Bruadair (1625-98), who strove in vain to maintain the traditional status of the professional poet and wrote bitterly about the transformation of Irish society.
Their first volumes, O'Connor's Guests of the Nation and O Faoláin's Midsummer Night's Madness in the early 1930's, cast a colder eye on the armed struggle and on the quality of life in the new State.
