	Myles na gCopaleen - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Myles na gCopaleen (or Myles na Gopaleen) was the pseudonym used for his journalism by Brian Ó Nuallain, who also wrote novels under the name Flann O'Brien.
		The letters were a hit with the readers of The Irish Times, and R.M. Smyllie, then editor of the newspaper, shortly invited Ó Nuallain to contribute a column.
		The first column appeared on October 4, 1940, under the pseudonym "Myles na gCopaleen" ("Myles of the Little Horses").

	Declan Kiberd: Flann O'Brien, Myles and The Poor Mouth
		Myles was simply the reverse-side of this coin -- a victim of Victorian sentimentality, as his real-life counterpart was a target of Victorian bile.
		Myles, therefore, attacks more recent writers who have replaced the stage Irishman with a stage Gael, or, as he dubbed them in a letter to Scan O'Casey, "the Gaelic morons here with their bicycle clips and handball medals" [2].
		If the triumph of Myles na gCopaleen is the recovery of his true identity, then the tragicomedy of the characters is that grinding poverty has left them with no identity whatever, not even the sense of a lost one which they might hope some day to recover.

	Flann O'Brien - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		As Myles na gCopaleen, Ó Nuallain published a regular column entitled "Cruiskeen Lawn" in The Irish Times, usually in English, but sometimes in Irish, sometimes in Latin and sometimes in a strange English-Irish hybrid of his own invention.
		The columns introduce a regular set of characters, such as the "PLAIN PEOPLE OF IRELAND," who periodically interrupt Myles' flights of fancy to demand clarification or explanation; the poets Keats and Chapman, whose adventures always end in an elaborate pun; "the Brother," and "the Da".
		Having satirised a government minister in the column, Ó Nuallain was forcibly retired from the civil service and due to his spiralling alcoholism never regained the heights of his early work, dying from cancer on April 1, 1966 at the age of 54.

		This new collection of Myles na cGopaleen's columns, lovingly edited by John Wyse Jackson, is the American edition of At War, which first appeared in London in 1999, and offers some further selections from Myles's columns, covering the years of the second world war.
		The figure of Myles is a delightfully vituperative curmudgeon who lambastes the ills of society, criticizes government inefficiency, scorns the self-centeredness of Irish literary coteries, and caustically ridicules the stupidity of the middle classes, all with a roundabout sharpness and absurd humor that veers from the slapstick to the ingenious.
		Behind the “literary” nonsense that Myles produces tongue-in-cheek, there is a good deal of the world and of Irish society in the column that interacts with the newspaper around him but that remains largely hidden to the reader of this volume.

		The pseudonym Myles Na gCopaleen (or Gopaleen, in another of its spellings) was probably taken from the hero of Dion Boucicault's The Colleen Bawn (1860)--"Myles of the Ponies" being an Irish picaro: a rough-and-ready, hard-drinking, thoroughly charming rogue.
		Myles was the name by which most of O'Nolan's world (that is, Dublin city and environs) knew him in life--a name the sound of which inspired either profound laughter or profound dread, depending upon the auditor.

		Where previous collections are mere compilations, this collection of wartime columns treats the famous Irishman Myles na gCopaleen and his hectoring associates as the fictional characters they were intended to be.
		Tracking the shocking disintegration of this bright young writer, philosopher and social commentator, the author chronicles Myles na gCopaleen's steady decline, as his sparkling wit darkens in an alcoholic tragedy of the mind.
		Jackson's attempt to essay Myles as a fictional character is acceptable in so far as it goes, and a dark decline can be evinced, but the construct 'Myles' is too Protean a figure, too slippery in meaning and value to always correspond to the notion of character.

	Blather Archives: shameless hijack (January 1st 1999)
		The original Blather was the title of a short-lived Dublin monthly periodical, published in 1934 by one Brian O'Nolan, better known as Flann O'Brien or Myles na gCopaleen (1911-66).
		O'Brien/O'Nolan/na gCopaleen is often attributed with the public immortalisation of the great philosopher and inventor De Selby, but the late Professor Timothy F.X. Finnegan, Dean of the Royal Sir Myles na gCopaleen Astro-Anomalistic Society has been known to dispute this, usually after closing time in the snug of Kehoes, South Anne St. Dublin 2.
		Earlier emissions of Blather are guilty of unnecessary worry - Blather HQ is not, as was thought, sitting atop a mass grave of some 300 Croppies of the 1798 Rebellion, according to a November 30th letter to the Irish Times from one Aengus Ó Snodaigh, of Dublin '98 Commemoration Committee.

		Indeed, he was at pains to attend the same college as Joyce, and Joyce biographer Richard Ellman has established that O'Nolan, fully in keeping with his literary temperament, used a forged interview with John Joyce as part of his application.
		As Myles na gCopaleen, O'Nolan published a regular column entitled "The Cruiskeen Lawn" in The Irish Times, usually in English, but sometimes in Irish, and sometimes in Latin.
		The columns introduce a regular set of characters, such as the "PLAIN PEOPLE OF IRELAND," "the Brother," and "the Da," include a "catechism of cliche," and propose numerous schemes for the improvement of the Irish nation.

	MISCmedia.com: Myles Ahead
		A few months after the publication of At Swim, the conservative daily The Irish Times hired him to write a daily essay-and-humor column, "Cruiskeen Lawn." For this work he took on another pseudonym, Myles na gCopaleen ("Miles of the Little Horses").
		The "Myles" persona was that of a distinguished older gentleman (O'Brien was only 29 when the column began), comfortable enough in his nobility to mix drawing-room anecdotes with bilingual or trilingual puns, yet enough of a man-of-the-people to gently bash both elitist modern artists and elitist modern-art denouncers.
		Two collections of Myles columns have finally been issued in the U.S., by the Dalkey Archive Press (named after O'Brien's fifth and final novel).

		Ciaran O Nuallain's memoir of his brother Brian O'Nolan (1911-66), the only major source on the early life of the man who later achieved literary fame as Flann O'Brien and Myles na gCopaleen, appears here for the first time in English.
		First published in Irish as Oige an Dearthdr in 1973, it recounts a peripatetic childhood during which the family moved between Strabane, Tullamore and Dublin in consequence of their father's work as a Customs and Excise officer.
		This portrait of a boy genius, his background and family, reveals hitherto unknown aspects of the many-named man who was to become one of the most important Irish writers of the century.

		This extremely funny book, with its rain-sodden peasants of Corca Dorcha who combine pretensions to proficiency in English with true caint na ndaoine in the hope of impressing the insatiable Irish-language enthusiasts, was the proof that the Irish of the Revival had come of age.
		It earned Flann O’Brien the accolade bestowed upon him by Austin Clarke: ‘our Gaelic satirist’ and is still a useful corrective against the native tendency to take things too seriously.
