  JAMES CLARENCE MANGAN - LoveToKnow Article on JAMES CLARENCE MANGAN
His baptismal name was James, the Clarence being his own addition.
Mangan holds a high place among Irish poets, but his fame was deferred by the inequality and mass of his work, much of which lay buried in inaccessible newspaper files under his many pseudonyms, Vacuus, Terrae Filius, Clarence, andc.
The Poems of James Clarence Magan (1903),, and the Prose Writings (1904), were both edited by D. ODonoghue, who wrote in 1897 a complete account of the Life and Writings of the poet.

 Literary Encyclopedia: Mangan, James Clarence
James Clarence Mangan (1803 –; 1849) was a poet, translator and essayist who gave a voice to Irish nationalism before and during the Famine years.
Mangan represents the poem as a translation from Persian, but it is wholly original, written in the persona of Meer Djafrit, who taunts John Bull in the language of colonialism as an ‘Ingleezee Khafir’.
Mangan makes Siberia, the fabled land of exile, suggest the devastation of Ireland blighted by the famine and by implication it becomes symbolic of his inner devastation, perhaps in the grip of opium.

 Joyce's 'James Clarence Mangan'
And so, when Mangan is remembered in his country (for he is sometimes spoken of in literary societies), his countrymen lament that such poetic faculty was mated with so little rectitude of conduct, surprised to find this faculty in a man whose vices were exotic and who was little of a patriot.
Mangan, however, is not without some consolation, for his sufferings have cast him inwards, where for many ages the sad and the wise have elected to be.
Mangan, it must be remembered, wrote with no native literary tradition to guide him, and for a public which cared for matters of the day, and for poetry only so far as it might illustrate these.

 James Clarence Mangan - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
James Clarence Mangan (1803 - 1849), poet, born at Dublin, son of a small grocer, was brought up in poverty, and received most of his education from a priest who instructed him in several modern languages.
James Joyce wrote a significant essay on Mangan, and also used his name in his works.
The significance, it is said, lies in part in Joyce's reluctance to acknowledge influence from the Irish literary tradition: he was otherwise chary of adopting any artistic predecessors.

 Guardian Unlimited Books | By genre | The man in the cloak
James Clarence Mangan, born in Dublin in 1803, the son of a grocer, is the first of a long line of suffering, downtrodden Irish poets who took the English language as their own.
Mangan is associated specifically with nationalist Ireland's first attempts to articulate itself through English-language newspapers such as the Nation and the United Irishman - for both of which he wrote.
Because of the suppression and decline of the Irish language, Mangan was in the paradoxical position of writing in the language of the occupier.

 Irish Romanticism in James Clarence Mangan
That said, since Mangan actually says in his introduction to the poem that ‘Rosaleen’ is to be understood as an allegory for Ireland, he must have wanted the poem to be read mainly for its nationalistic content.
It was not until 1846, when one of Mangan’s like-minded friends became editor of the journal, that Mangan started publishing his nationalistic writings in it.
As mentioned, there has been dispute about the sincerity of Mangan’s nationalism with the evidence found in Mangan’s earlier poetry, however, all the sources do agree that there is a clear nationalistic intention behind the latter part of Mangan’s poetry, i.e.

He was the son of James Mangan, a grocer, and of Catherine Smith.
Mitchel accepts the story, related by Mangan himself, but which O'Donaghue is inclined to make light of, that he passed through an unhappy love affair, which infused the bitter and mocking note into his subsequent verses and even drove him to that intemperance which clouded the remainder of his days.
Mangan fell an easy victim to the cholera which raged in Dublin in 1849.

 Dark Rosaleen by James Clarence Mangan   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
Mangan, one of those Irish Nationalists of the early nineteenth who saw themselves as the inheritors of the rebel mantle of O’Donnell, and more recently Tone, and Emmett, who was executed the year Mangan was born.
So the simple love poem to a woman, an impossibly beautiful woman, becomes, as we almost expect it to be, a love poem to a nation, our wonderfully sensuous nation that inspires not only poetry such as this in just about every generation, but also men willing to sacrifice all for her.
However well known the earlier versions were, this one by Mangan, became the rallying cry for nationalist Ireland for several generations and the inspiration for the poetry and the nationalist actions of those generations.

 THE GALLERY PRESS - RECENT TITLES - JAMES CLARENCE MANGAN
James Mangan (he adopted the 'Clarence' later) was born in Dublin in 1803.
Propelled frequently by hypnotic rhythms, enlightened by verbal play and ingenuity, from couplets to long poems, Mangan's verse gives voice to the starkness of his own predicament ('Old and hoary at thirty-nine') and, in a poem like 'Siberia', fuses a desolate interior with the great concern of Famine Ireland.
His masterpieces, 'The Nameless One' and 'Twenty Golden Years Ago', are cornerstones of nineteenth-century poetry, while ardent period pieces, such as 'Dark Rosaleen', are anthems of a former age.

He was born and bred in the city, served his literary apprenticeship in its popular Puzzle-books, and published his master-works in its serious magazines and political newspapers.
And it is discovered that Mangan was a superb writer of prose in a mode of unacademic literary-philosophic reflection - at least as good as the best English writers of that time, or any time.
In short, this book makes one astonished that no selection of Mangan's verse has been published for over eighty years, and that his prose has not seen the light of day for a hundred and forty years.

It was during a flight back to England from Dublin, having just picked up a book of Irish poetry, that I was first attracted to the work of James Clarence Mangan, the Dublin-born poet who died in 1849 at the age of 46 after a tragic struggle against a catalogue of misfortunes.
His work immediately impressed me with its characteristically Irish rhetorical power and vivid imagery, and at its best it seems to me to have a powerfully visionary quality that is superbly controlled yet forcefully spontaneous.
The contrast between the two is considerable, but it seemed to me that in their different ways they dealt with contrasting aspects of a dream-like world, and they are once more strongly evocative of Mangan's highly personal and emotional world.
