St. Stephen's: A Record of University Life

UCD Digital Library and UCD Special Collections are delighted to announce that the historic literary magazine, St. Stephen's: A Record of University Life, is now available online.

St. Stephen's was a University College Dublin magazine, published monthly during term time, between 1901 and 1906. The contributors and editorial staff included names that would later become important figures in Irish literary, political, and educational circles. Initially edited by Hugh Kennedy, the magazine was subsequently edited by Felix Hackett, Thomas Kettle, Constantine Peter Curran, John Kennedy, and Francis Cruise O'Brien. Contributors were mainly staff and students of the University, among them James Joyce, Padraig Pearse, Francis Sheehy-Skeffington, George Sigerson, Eoin MacNeill, and Patrick J. Little.

Regular segments to feature in the magazine include an editorial, the college calendar, correspondence, Girl Graduate Chat (later replaced with From the Ladies' Colleges), Parvula Blandula, Notes from the Medical School, as well as various essays, poems, reviews, opinion pieces and contemporary advertisements.
