Topic: Michael Banim


  
  John & Michael Banim
But Michael generously kept himself in the background in order to let his younger brother have all the honour of their joint production.
The principal works of Michael Banim are: "Crohoore of the Billhook", "The Ghost Hunter", "Father Connell", and "The Croppy", a tale of 1798.
The latter criticism is unfortunately justified; John admitted and regretted it, and Michael acted on it by preventing one of the stories, "The Nowlans", from being reprinted.

  John Banim - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
During a short visit to Kilkenny he married, and in 1822 planned in conjunction with his elder brother, Michael (1796-1874), a series of tales illustrative of Irish life, which should be for Ireland what the Waverley Novels were for Scotland; and the influence of his model is distinctly traceable in his writings.
The Mayor of Windgap, The Ghost Hunter (by Michael Banim), The Denounced (1830) and The Smuggler (1831) followed in quick succession, and were received with considerable favour.

Michael Banim died at Booterstown on the 3oth of August 1874.
The true place of the Banims in literature is to be estimated from the merits of the OHarci Tales; their later works, though of considerable ability, are sometimes prolix and are marked by too evident an imitation of the Waverley Novels.

The brothers Banim, John and Michael, are best known by their joint work Tales of the O’Hara Family—one brother passing on his work to the other for suggestions and criticism.
Michael’s was the gentler and more idealising nature, though no one should deny tenderness to the author of Soggarth Aroon and Aileen.
No doubt, John Banim’s work was coloured by the melancholy from which he suffered, due, in the first instance, to the death of his betrothed, and, afterwards, to a somewhat morbid temperament.

 Cardiff Corvey Articles, IV.2: J. BELANGER. Fiction Relating to Ireland, 1800—29
Edgeworth and Morgan remained central to critical debates surrounding Ireland, gender, and the novel for several years to come, but increasingly their works were used as points of comparison to illustrate how subsequent representations of Ireland had improved upon the earlier depictions offered by these two authors.
For these reviewers, the ability of Banim—and of other male ‘native’ Irish writers such as William Carleton and Gerald Griffin—to represent Ireland accurately is located both in gender terms and in terms of their status as ‘insiders’ in the society they depict.
Banim’s portrayals of Ireland are incomparable, according to the Westminster reviewer, because he ‘has an intimate and real acquaintance’ with his subject material, and shares ‘common interests’ with the people he represents because he too is Catholic.[
