THE CAMBRIDGE HISTORY
OF ENGLISH LITERATURE
VOLUME XIV. THE NINETEENTH CENTURY. III
Second Impression, 1922, Corrections and Additions
The errata mentioned in volume xiv of the History have been corrected in the
present impression. In addition, some misprints noticed later have been corrected,
and a few alterations made of which the following may be noted:
pp. 318 a, 318 b. Pages numbered thus have been inserted in the present impression
containing the following addition.
But the most remarkable poet connected with The Nation, as a contributor to it of
fine rhetorical verse and several noble laments, was James Mangan or James Clarence
Mangan, as he had renamed himself. The son, like Thomas Moore, of a Dublin grocer
and, like him, destined to write Irish national lyrics of great beauty and oriental poems
of a very striking character and with a vein of satiric whimsicality as delicate, Mangan's
life was as conspicuous a failure as Moore's was a signal success. Moore had a happy
home in childhood, Mangan a most unhappy one; and so it happened that, at the age
of fifteen, when his great promise as a schoolboy should have been inducing his father
to give him those continued educational advantages which lifted young Moore to honour
and affluence, his wrong-headed generosity and credulity was bringing his household to
ruin till his brilliant boy was withdrawn from school to help to support his broken-down
parents by monotonous drudgery at a scrivener's desk, in rude and unsympathetic
company. Nor did Mangan's character enable him to fight his way up in the world
when he had only himself to care for. A victim to ‘red rum' or opium or both, he
struggled on as an occasional contributor in verse or a hack writer in prose to evanescent
journals like The Comet and The Dublin Penny Journal or as temporary clerk in various
Dublin attorneys' offices and under the Irish Ordnance Survey.
Patriotic and devotional verse and a certain amount of rough and ready translation
from the Irish, for the supply of the very necessaries of life, occupied Mangan's closing
days and he finally fell a victim to the cholera which succeeded the famine of 1846,
whose horrors are reflected in his New Year's Lay, his last fine effort in verse.
The vogue for German literature, largely attributable to Carlyle’s influence, made
good translations from the German poets most acceptable in his day; and this special
need was Mangan's opportunity as a sympathetic student of these authors and now &
considerable master of verse. He availed himself of this opportunity to the full and at
first quite seriously. In the rare instances where the character of the original lent
itself to literal translation into English he so rendered it with superlative skill, but he
was an adapter rather than a translator.
A tendency to edit and improve his German originals grew upon him. He found
that the occasional lapses of the minor German poets into dullness and sentimentality
would not have suited his readers, so he improved and improved them, as his stock
for translation, which had become his daily bread,' deteriorated until he improved
them almost entirely away and finally began to publish, as poems from the German of
Dreschler' and 'Selber' and other non-existent authors, lyrics of his own, more or
less influenced by bis German studies.

When remonstrated with by Dr Anster for thus depriving himself of the credit of
such fine original work as was contained in a sham translation of Hafiz, he replied,
'Any one could see it was only Half-his. '
But, whatever their origin, there is no doubt of the rare poetical quality of some of
Mangan's so-called eastern poems, such as The Karamanian Exile, Gone in the Wind
and The Howling Song of Al Mohara. Through them runs an art-effect with which he
anticipated Edgar Allan Poe, namely that modern adaptation of the refrain which
consists of repeating it with musical variations, and this beautiful effect is found at its
finest in his greatest poem, Dark Rosaleen1, perhaps the most memorable Anglo-Irish
poem ever written. This alone would have won him immortality, but a few others of his
Irish poems—the Lament for Banba, the Vision of Connaught in the Thirteenth Century,
his version of O'Hussey's Ode to the Maguire and his desolate Siberia make his fame as
an Irish poet absolutely secure.
1 Over hills and through dales
Have I roamed for your sake;
All yesterday I sailed with sails
On river and on lake.
The Erne, at its highest flood,
I dashed across unseen,
For there was lightning in my blood,
My dark Rosaleen!
My own Rosaleen!
Oh! there was lightning in my blood,
Red lightning lightened through my blood,
My dark Rosaleen!
All day long, in unrest,
To and fro do I move.
The very soul within my breast
Is wasted for you, love!
The heart in my bosom faints
To think of you, my Queen,
My life of life, my saint of saints,
9
My dark Rosaleen!
My own Rosaleen!
To hear your sweet and sad complaints,
My life, my love, my saint of saints,
My dark Rosaleen!
