Pauline Henley
Pauline Henley (1883-?) was one of the first female teachers in the National University of Ireland during the early twentieth century.

=Biography= Pauline was born in Cork on 28 June 1883 to John Henley (c.1850-1886), a jeweller, and Kate Henley (c.1853-1912) née Brennan. They lived on College Road. Pauline had an older brother, William Joseph (1881-?). Pauline attended school at the Ursuline Convent in Waterford.

Both the 1901 and 1911 censuses show Henley living in her uncle's house in Minerva Terrace in Cork. In 1913 she received her BA from UCC. She worked in Stranmillis Training College in Belfast for a period, before returning to Cork. From the late 1920s she taught at the University College Cork, firstly in the Department of Education, and later as an assistant lecturer in the History Department. She retired in 1948.

=Spenser in Ireland=

Henley completed her MA thesis 'Spenser in Ireland' in 1926. Her seminal work Spenser in Ireland was based on her thesis and was published in 1928,. The book challenged existing scholarship on poet Edmund Spenser's time in Ireland. Henley included maps in the work which Rudolf Gottfried cited in "Irish Geography in Spenser’s View” and which Thomas Herron republished in his 2015 article.

Spenser in Ireland received favourable reviews in The Journal of the Royal Society of Antiquaries of Ireland (1928), Studies: An Irish Quarterly Review(1928), The Irish Monthly (1929) Modern Language Notes (1930)

Legacy of Spenser in Ireland
From the 1930s to the 1940s Spenser in Ireland was cited in various articles on both sides of the Atlantic: Raymond Jenkins cited it in his article "Spenser: The Uncertain Years 1584-1589". Grace Warren Landrum cited it in two 1941 articles “Imagery of Water in the Faerie Queene” and "Images in the Faerie Queene Drawn from Flora and Fauna".

In 1996 Patricia Coughlan noted in relation to Spenser's Irish context that Pauline Henley was a "pioneer of this field". By 1999 Sheryl L Forste-Grupp advised reading Spenser in Ireland for "the first judicious discussion of how Spenser's experiences in Ireland manifest themselves in his poetry and prose".

Spenser in Ireland continued to be cited in the 21st century. James Charles Roy cited it in his article "Caher na Earle (The Earl's Chair)". and Thomas Herron in his 2002 article "The Spanish Armada, Ireland, and Spenser's "The Faerie Queene"". Baker et al in their article "What ish my network? Introducing MACMORRIS: Digitising cultural activity and collaborative networks in early modern Ireland" acknowledge "the pioneering figure of Henley whose Spenser in Ireland first recognised the centrality of Ireland to Spenser's poetry and Coughlan's 1999 article as a key moment in relaunching that enterprise."

=History Department, UCC= When she joined the History Department at University College Cork as an assistant lecturer in 1931 she was one of only four women teaching the subject at third level in Ireland. Henley was primarily an undergraduate teacher. She worked as a full-time assistant lecturer from 1933-1946, though Smith notes Henley taught from 1931-1948

=Network= She was friends with various Irish nationalist figures, including Terence MacSwiney and his sister Mary MacSwiney.

In 1928 Henley corresponded with Etienne Beuque when Beuque, a French writer on contemporary Irish history, asked Henley about Terence MacSwiney. Beuque was researching a biography on Terence MacSwiney but the biography was never published.

Hester Cooke (1904-1986) was an Irish poet. Cooke was the daughter of Mary Frances, known as Frances, Cooke (nee Makesy) and Canon Alfred Hugh Cooke, Rector of Carrick-on-Suir for thirty years (Sunday Independent) and later of Lady Lane, Waterford ("WATERFORD ENROLS NEW FREEMEN." The Irish Times (1921-Current File), May 02, 1951, pp. 7. ProQuest, https://search.proquest.com/docview/524233651?accountid=14504). Alfred Cooke, and Frances Mackesy, born in Waterford, had married married in 1911 (census record). At the time of the 1911 census the Cooke family were living in Foulkstown, Co Tipperary. Hester Cooke - Church of Ireland.

Picture in Irish Press 1931-1995, Tuesday, April 02, 1935; Page: 6 aged 31. Picture in The Nationalist (Tipperary) 1889-current, Saturday, December 17, 1938; Page: 4

Picture also in St Angela's Ursuline.

Family
Cooke's maternal grandfather was George J. Mackesy, surgeon, physician and Deputy Coroner in Waterford (1901 census), a Lord Mayor of Waterford (Canon Obit) and a Freeman of the city (see IT newspaper). Cooke's maternal grandmother was Hester Maria Strangman Mackesy. It is likely Hester was named for her maternal grandmother. Cooke's aunt Miss Mary Mackesy lived on Lady Lane facing the Friary and Olaf Street when Hester lived there (Munster Express 1860-current, Friday, May 17, 1940; Page: 6). Cooke's mother Frances Cooke died in 1932 in Carrick-on-Suir.

Cooke's Alfred Cooke (1874-1958) was born in Cork and (IT Obituary) received BA and MA degress from Trinity College Dublin. He was curate at Dunmore East, Co Waterford; Dovea, Thurles, Co Tipperary; in Carrick-on-Suir, Co Tipperary for twenty-seven years and Kilmeaden, Co Waterford where he was appointed as Canon there six months after his arrival (Munster Express 1860-current, Friday, December 11, 1942; Page: 7). While he was in Carrick-on-Suir he took an interest in the welfare former service men who had served in World War I and he was instrumental in getting funds for their relief as well as being actively involved in working with the welfare of those in distress (Waterford News and Star 1848-current, Friday, June 05, 1942; Page: 3). He was rector of Mogarban, Fethard, Co Waterford and chaplain to the Bishop of Cashel. He was treasurer of the Diocese of Waterford and Lismore and Rural Dean of Waterford. He also served as chancellor of the diocese and prebendary of Rossduff. He retired from the ministry in 1947. Canon Cooke became a Freeman of Waterford because his father-in-law had been one. Canon Cooke died in 1958 in Dunmore East and is buried at John's Hill cemetery in Waterford.

Cooke's uncle, William C Cooke had his practice on the corner of Grand Parade North and South Mall. He had the same clerk for over 40 years and in 1938 William Cooke had been practicing for 51 years. He was 73 in 1938. More to be added. In The Nationalist (Tipperary) 1889-current, Saturday, November 05, 1938; Page: 9 Hester had an older brother, Edward Hewitt (1901 - 1954) who fought in World War I as As 2nd Lieutenant, late General List, Royal Flying Corps, on probation, confirmed in rank as 2nd Lieutenant, Observer Officer, 29th June 1918. In the interwar years he was attached to various batallions in India and Burma reaching the rank of Major in 1938. He served as Intelligence Officer, G.H.Q.(I), 1943-1945. and as temporary Lt. Colonel, on military employ, with the Burma Defence Forces, 1945-1946. He was promoted to Lt. Colonel in 1947 and retired from the British Army in October 1948 (http://www.rothwell.force9.co.uk/burmaweb/9th_burma_rifles.htm#_edn4). He died in Malta in 1954 and is buried there (Munster Express article).

Life
For a number of years prior to publishing her volumes of poetry Cooke contributed to Irish newspapers including Waterford Sun and Star as well as Clonmel Nationalist, and periodicals poems suggestive of country life.

In 1935 Cooke's poem "The Sundial" Part of Spring Anthology: A compilation of representative verse from the world's living poets. This had been issued since 1930 by Mitre Press of Mitre Stree in London. Cooke was one of 262 poets chosen from all over the English speaking world that year. By the time the poem was chosen "Fallen Leaves" printed the previous year was already out of print. Munster Express, Friday, December 13, 1935; Section: Front page, Page: 1). One of Cooke's poems was also chosen for the 1936 anthology (The Nationalist (Tipperary) 1889-current, Wednesday, May 21, 1941; Page: 4).

On Monday 14 March 1938 Doreen Hogan, of Main Street in Tipperary, sang as one of a group of songs from Radio Eireann Cooke's lyric "The Little Roads of Ireland." This had appeared in X anthology. An Irish-American priest from New York had made the request to have it sung. Munster Express 1860-current, Friday, March 11, 1938; Page: 5 It is noted that Cooke derived much pleasure in that a county woman of her own should be chosen as the vocalist to interpret the theme - rish Examiner 1841-current, Saturday, April 23, 1938.

In March 1939 Cooke's poem "St Patrick's Day" was specially selected for recital at the St Patrick's Day Banquet in Saskatoon, Canada. (The Nationalist (Tipperary) 1889-current, Saturday, March 18, 1939; Page: 10). The poem was recited by an Irishman in front of over 300 people and the poem was embellished with elaborate green lettering bordered by Shamrocks and appeared on the back of each menu card. The poem "St Patrick's Day" was later published in The Nationalist (Tipperary) 1889-current, Saturday, March 16, 1940; Page: 4. In late March 1939 a Francis Phillips of Cashel wrote a letter to the editor of The Nationalist offering his congratulations to Hester Cooke on the achievement. Phillips placed Cooke in the same "galaxy of poets this county has produced" such as Doheny, Charles Kickham, O'Leary, Denis McCarthy to name a few. The Nationalist (Tipperary) 1889-current, Saturday, April 01, 1939; Page: 2 It is likely that Francis Phillips is Francis Phillips [1872-1968], a leading Sinn Feiner and public representative from Ladyswell, Cashel, Co. Tipperary. Cooke offered a different poem to the organisers in Saskatoon for the 1940 St Patrick's Day Banquet.

In November 1939 The Kilkenny People newspaper announced that Hester Cooke would shortly publish her second volume of poetry. They noted that the playwright Lord Dunsany thought highly of her work and had written to her in appreciation. (Kilkenny People 1895-current, Saturday, November 11, 1939; Page: 7)

In 1940 the illustrated front page of the Irish home weekly "Woman's Life" contains Cooke's poem "Old Trees" and the issue also contains another poem "Ireland." Two additional poems will also appear in the 1940 Christmas issue of "Women's Life" (The Nationalist (Tipperary) 1889-current, Saturday, October 19, 1940; Page: 5) The Nationalist advertised that Cooke would publish a third volume of poetry which would contain blank verse in the style of the Japanese.

Hester Cooke was an admirer of location-specific poets: Francis Ledwidge writing about Meath, Michael Walsh writing pastoral poetry about the lake country of Westmeath (The Nationalist (Tipperary) 1889-current, Wednesday, May 21, 1941; Page: 4).

Hester moved to Kilmeaden when in 1942 her father Rev AH Cooke was appointed as rector of the United Parish of Kilmeaden and Carrick-on-Suir. (Waterford News and Star 1848-current, Friday, June 05, 1942; Page: 3)

In 1961 the lower part of the house where Cooke's flat was situated was damaged with a door blown in during an explosion at the nearby Presbyterian Church on Lady Lane. ("Furnace Blast Damages Two Churches." The Irish Times (1921-Current File), Oct 23, 1961, pp. 1. ProQuest, https://search.proquest.com/docview/523805492?accountid=14504).

Fallen Petals
Fallen Petals is dedicated to Cooke's friends. Fallen Petals contains thirty-two poems. Many of the poems are about nature "The Hawthorn Tree" or "Daffodils". Other poems are about places near Waterford "To the Suir" and "The Valley of Slieve-na-mon" or "Portally" a district near Dunmore East. A quote from Joyce Kilmer introduces 'The Hawthorn Tree," a quote from Spenser's Faerie Queen introduces "To the Suir" and a quote from M Belben introduces "To Nature." In a review of Hazel Leaves(1939) it notes Fallen Petals was published four years earlier indicating publication was 1935. It is bound in green linen with title and author in black on the front cover.

In 'Books Received' (Irish Independent 1905-current, Tuesday, March 26, 1935; Page: 4) Fallen Petals costs two shillings. Fallen Petals is part of 'Books Received in Irish Press, Tuesday, March 26, 1935; Page: 8 AND Irish Independent 1905, Tuesday, March 26, 1935; Page: 5. SOF gives Fallen Petals a positive review in The Nationalist (Tipperary), Saturday, March 30, 1935; Section: Front page, Page: 1 noting that the same newspaper has published many of Cooke's poems previously. However J MacM in Irish Press, Tuesday, April 02, 1935; Page: 6 notes that she is "a very young and unsophisticated singer and in her first book gives a selection of verse which is simple, melodius and unprentious." However he expects she will learn to "engage more seriously with the process of 'wrestling with one's soul'". This he notes is much more likely for forthcoming books.

review: In The Nationalist (Tipperary), Saturday, April 06, 1935; Page: 8 MW notes

review: Waterford News and Star, Friday, August 30, 1935; Page: 6

Hazel Leaves
Hazel Leaves is dedicated to Cooke's mother. The title page notes Hazel Leaves is by the author of Fallen Petals. Hazel Leaves contains thirty-two poems. Cooke notes on the title page verso that some of these poems have appeared in the Cork Examiner. As with Fallen Petals many of the poems in Hazel Leaves are about nature: "Rough Sea" or "To a Pine Tree." Others are in memory of various individuals such as Francis Ledwidge the post of Slane, Co Meath killed in France in July 1917, Michael Walsh, the poet and journalist of Cullenstown, Co Wexford who died 1st December 1938, or Hans Anderson. Similar to Fallen Petals still other poems in the volume are about places near Waterford such as "Slieve-Na-Mon" "The Mahon Valley" and Dunmore East in "The Village Street," and others are further afield "Achill Island." Hazel Leaves is bound in blue linen with the title and author in gold on the front cover. Hazel Leaves cost two shillings ("PUBUCATIONS RECEIVED." The Irish Times (1921-Current File), Dec 02, 1939, pp. 5. ProQuest, https://search.proquest.com/docview/522927030?accountid=14504).

An example of Cooke's poetry is "All You Who Read" which is the final poem in Hazel Leaves All you who read these songs that I have sung, Fragile and fleeting, born of joy or tears; Know that my heart found peace, while others chased The shadow of contentment down the years.

Hazel Leaves is in Books Received in the Irish Press 1931-1995, Tuesday, November 21, 1939; Page: 8 and in Books Received in the Irish Independent 1905-current, Tuesday, November 28, 1939; Page: 4. Adjacent to a review of Hazel Leaves in The Waterford News & Star is one of Cooke's poems "Help me, oh Go / In spring" (Waterford News and Star 1848-current, Friday, November 24, 1939; Page: 3). In a review in The Nationalist it is noted that Hazel Leaves was printed in a very limited edition (The Nationalist (Tipperary) 1889-current, Saturday, November 25, 1939; Page: 4). The same review notes that Cooke has advanced her art in the four years since Fallen Petal was published. However if one seeks deep philosophy and intricate metrical arrangement such will not be found in her works. Instead artless nature, simplicity and clear directness are found. In a review in Irish Examiner 1841-current, Wednesday, November 29, 1939; Page: 7 the reviewer notes that "the poems show a decided advance in technique and expression...during the four years that have passed since Fallen Leaves appeared. In 'New Poetical Works in the Irish Examiner 1841-current, Wednesday, December 06, 1939; Page: 7 Hazel Leaves is "a happy selection of simple and sincere poems." The same review appears in the Irish Press 1931-1995, Wednesday, December 06, 1939; Page: 6. In a review of Hazel Leaves it is noted that Cooke "is the people's poet not the poet's poet as she sees and renders the beauty that eludes most observers because it is too familiar "(The Nationalist (Tipperary) 1889-current, Saturday, December 16, 1939; Page: 10). The reviewer remarks that words such as 'verdant' should not be left out but that Cooke also coins beautiful phrases such as 'silver-footed rain'. Additional reviews appear in: Munster Express 1860-current, Friday, January 26, 1940; Page: 2; Irish Press 1931-1995, Tuesday, January 30, 1940; Page: 8;

In a review of Hazel Leaves it is noted that both of Cooke's published books from the Talbot Company have Irish binding and paper, and are printed in Ireland.

Talbot Company published the first two of Cooke's poetry books. See https://books.google.ie/books?id=7Y1ZZ9m8K2gC&pg=PA74&lpg=PA74&dq=talbot+press+cork+dublin+archive&source=bl&ots=hea1wsupTn&sig=ACfU3U1qW4vTu__Gc-rONNaQdRE3dLURgA&hl=en&sa=X&ved=2ahUKEwj5jsCNlJjnAhXgTxUIHStlDAUQ6AEwAnoECAkQAQ#v=onepage&q=talbot%20press%20cork%20dublin%20archive&f=false (p.74) The Talbot Press used Hazel Leaves when displaying at large book fair in Dublin in 1941 (The Nationalist (Tipperary) 1889-current, Wednesday, March 26, 1941; Page: 2 and Munster Express 1860-current, Friday, March 28, 1941; Page: 6 and Kilkenny People 1895-current, Saturday, March 29, 1941; Page: 5)

Death
Hester Cooke died on 28 June 1986 and her funeral service was at Christchurch Cathedral. At the service Michael Coady "spoke about her deep Christian outlook and referred to the merits of her poems and concluded his addresses with the reading of one of her poems in praise of the wonders of nature" ("Carrick Notes" Munster Express 1986 Friday, July 04, 1986; Page: 11). Cooke is buried in the family burial grounds at John's Hill Cemetery, Waterford.

Legacy
Copies of Cooke's works are held in William Cooke's collection in Special Collections at UCC Library, Cork. Hester Cooke was William Cooke's niece. Cooke has written personal notes to her uncle in Fallen Petals: "With every good wish and love from the author 14.3.'35" and in Hazel Leaves "With the author's love. Nov. 1939". In addition William Cooke has pasted onto the front pastedown two reviews of Hazel Leaves from The Sunday Independent 10 December 1939 and from The Cork Examiner 29 November 1939.

Sophie Raffalovich
Sophie Raffalovich was a writer with particular interest in translating political and social economy. She was married to the 19th century Irish nationalist and journalist William O'Brien and was the sister of the poet Marc André Sebastian Raffalovich and the economist Arthur Raffalovich.

His wife, Sophie Raffalovich (whose fortune underwrote O’Brien’s political activities) gave graphic descriptions of the area’s poverty before and during the near-famine of 1897–98 in her essay collection Under Croagh Patrick. (Mrs. William O’Brien, Under Croagh Patrick (Dublin: John Long, 1904)).

William O'Brien expected his wife to enter a convent if she outlived him. (In the event, when he died in 1928 she decided she was too old to adapt to convent life. [Patrick Maume New Hibernia Review Center for Irish Studies at the University of St. Thomas Volume 19, Number 1, Spring/Earrach 2015 pp. 98-114 quot. p.113]
