The Shanachie was published by Dublin s Maunsel and Company. Founded in 1905 by Joseph Maunsel Hone, Stephen Gwynn, and George Roberts, the company played an important part in the Irish Literary Revival, publishing first or important works by many of the most celebrated Irish writers of the early 20th century. The Shanachie, edited by J. M. Hone, was its first and only entry into the periodical business. In its six-issue run, the magazine published prose contributions by such luminaries as George Bernard Shaw, Lord Dunsany, W. B. Yeats, Padraic Colum, Lady Gregory, A. E. (George William Russell), J. M. Synge and others. Art was contributed by Jack Yeats, Hugh Thomson, William Orpen and others. Despite its distinguished content, the quarterly was unprofitable and was soon discontinued. Complete runs are relatively scarce.
