Caitilin Dubh, Irish poet, fl. c. 1624. Caitilin Dubhh is one of a very small number of pre-18th-century Irish female poets. Her surname is unknown; dubh is a nickname. Liam P. O Murchu (2003, p. 149) says "The absence of a surname points to her probable low social status; as the theme of wandering from place to place is found in some of the poems, it is possible that she was recognised as a semi-professional keening woman who went where her services were needed. She seems to have operated on the periphery of the literary culture of the early seventeenth century, and the poems ascribed to her provide an intriguingt insight into the possibility of female authorship at a period in Irish literary history when the official practise of poetry was still a predominantly male preserve.

  • Caitilin Dubh, Irish poet, fl. c. 1624. Caitilin Dubhh is one of a very small number of pre-18th-century Irish female poets. Her surname is unknown; dubh is a nickname. Liam P. O Murchu (2003, p. 149) says "The absence of a surname points to her probable low social status; as the theme of wandering from place to place is found in some of the poems, it is possible that she was recognised as a semi-professional keening woman who went where her services were needed. She seems to have operated on the periphery of the literary culture of the early seventeenth century, and the poems ascribed to her provide an intriguingt insight into the possibility of female authorship at a period in Irish literary history when the official practise of poetry was still a predominantly male preserve. In personality she seems to have been agreeable, but formidable." Five surviving compositions, all elegies, are known to be by her. They survived in a 17th-century collection of poems addressed to the O'Briens of Thomond, the individuals concerned been: * Donogh O'Brien, 4th Earl of Thomond, died 1624 * Dermod O'Brien, 5th Baron Inchiquin, died 1624, the subject of two elegies * Maire O'Brien, daughter of the 3rd Earl of Thomond * Toirdhealbhach Rua Mac Mathghamhna, husband of the above, died 1629. Caitilin's poems on Inchiquin, Maire, and Mac Mathghamhna "contain sentiments of personal loss and, addressing the deceased in the first person, convey a sense of familiar acquaintance. It was this familiarity, combined with Caitilin Dubh's sureness of touch in the elegiac genre, that ensured the preservation of her poems in manuscript form." (O Murchu, p. 149). (en)
  • File ab ea Caitilín Dubh (fl. 1624-1629) agus rian na hoiliúna ar a saothar. Ní fios cén sloinne a bhí uirthi ach b’fhéidir gur bhean de Bhrianach í. Is léir go raibh caidreamh aici ar na huaisle a luann sí. Chaoin sí Donnchadh Ó Briain, 4ú hIarla Thuamhumhan (a fuair bás in 1624); a dheirfiúrsan Máire; Toirealach Rua Mac Mathúna (fear céile Mháire, a fuair bás in 1629); Diarmaid Ó Briain, Barún Inse Uí Chuinn a fuair bás in 1624. Scríobh sí filíocht aiceanta a raibh rian fhilíocht na scoileanna le haithint uirthi. Protastúnach ab ea Donnchadh Ó Briain. Fuair sé oiliúint i gcúirt Eilís I agus d’fhan sé dílis don Choróin, é ag troid le hAodh Ó Néill agus é gualainn ar ghualainn le Mountjoy ag Cionn tSáile. Ach ní chuireann Caitilín Dubh in iúl go mothaíonn sí deighilt mhór a bheith ann idir Gall agus Gael in Éirinn. Tá tocht de shaghas eile le fáil sa dán a chaoineann Diarmaid Ó Briain, an Barún, agus a bhfuil sliocht as le léamh thíos. Tá clú na draíochta uirthi sa bhéaloideas in iarthar Chontae an Chláir agus í ag dul i ngleic le mná sí na Mumhan. Deirtear gur bhean feasa a hiníon Caitilín Óg freisin. (ga)
