Mother Courage
(German Mutter Courage
) is a character from a Grimmelshausen novel Lebensbeschreibung der Ertzbetrügerin und Landstörtzerin Courasche
(The Runagate Courage
) [1] dating from around 1670. The character had played a cameo role in Der abentheuerliche Simplicissimus Teutsch
(1668).
The Bertolt Brecht play Mutter Courage und ihre Kinder
(Mother Courage and Her Children
) gave her currency in the twentieth century. Mother Courage is cast as a walking contradiction by Brecht. She is torn between protecting her children from the war and making a profit out of the war.
Cúruisce (Courasche) appears in Ireland as a fictional character in Darach Ó Scolaí's Irish language novel An Cléireach. After travelling from Flanders in the company of a junior officer in the Tyrone regiment she serves in 1650 as a camp follower in the regiment of colonel Edmund O'Flaherty in the Royalist army.
