Name: Political And Historical Writings Of Thomas MooreSubtitle:Author:Editor: Clifford, BrendanCategory: Irish CollectionPublisher: Athol BooksPublished: 1993ISBN: 0 85034 067 5Contents: Thomas Moore, who is now remembered only as the author of Moore's Melodies, was the most influential Irish political writer of the first third of the 19th century. Later generations, saturated with O'Connellite Catholic-nationalism, relegated his prose writings to oblivion—it was beyond their power to do anything about the Melodies?and put about the idea that he was a vain and insubstantial individual, who had succumbed to the flattery of English aristocrats. This selection of his writings shows that to be a travesty. The trouble with Moore is that, while he did not become a tool of English aristocracy, neither did he compromise with the Catholic-nationalism of O'Connell. He was brought up amongst the Dublin United Irishmen of the 1790s, and was a friend of Robert Emmet when O'Connell was a Yeoman, and he kept on writing in the United Irish spirit to the end of his life. In the "Memoirs Of Captain Rock", a fictional biography of a Whiteboy family, he relates the history of Ireland in a way that the most demanding Fenian could not quibble with. The "Life Of Lord Edward Fitzgerald" is an uncompromising justification of the United Irish leader. The "Travels Of An Irish Gentleman In Search Of A Religion" is a riposte against the Protestant propagands of the period by somebody who detested the new, Ultramontanist, tendency in Catholicism. This selection includes substantial extracts from these three books, along with extracts from Moore's "Journal", his "History Of Ireland", and his Lives of "Sheridan" and "Byron".

Name: Preposterous Paradoxes Of Ambassador MorgenthauSubtitle: A factual story about politics, propaganda and distortionsAuthor: Aya, ServerEditor:Category: MiscellaneousPublisher: Athol BooksPublished: 2013ISBN: 978-085034-125-6Contents: Justin McCarthy, Professor of History at the University of Louisville has written of this book: Sükrü Server Aya has done a service to our understanding of history with his analysis of Ambassador Morgenthau's reports on the Armenian Question in the Ottoman Empire. Morgenthau has long held a prominent place in what has become the popularly accepted history of the events of World War I. His descriptions of Armenian suffering feature prominently in accusations that the Ottomans committed genocide. The difficulty, as demonstrated by Aya, is that Morgenthau readily accepted fabricated evidence and himself falsified the record.

Name: Prison Adverts And Potato DiggingsSubtitle:Author: Clifford, BrendanEditor:Category: United Irish CollectionPublisher: Athol BooksPublished: 1992ISBN: 0 85034 052 7Contents: The most wholehearted rebellious act of the United Irish movement of the North was the great constitutional potatoe digging of 1796. People assembled by hundreds and thousands to harvest the potatoes and other crops of neighbours who were imprisoned for alleged treason by the terrorist Government of Lord Camden (1795-98). Another remarkable feature of the time was business advertising from prison by eminently respectable Belfast businessmen. This booklet reprints some of those advertisements, along with "Northern Star" reports of the "hasty digging" of potatoes, and other major events in the life of Antrim and Down during the years when reckless and arbitrary government built up the pressures that found release in the Rebellion of 1798.

Name: Propaganda as Anti-HistorySubtitle: Peter Hart's 'The IRA and its Enemies' examinedAuthor: Sheridan, OwenEditor:Category: Irish CollectionPublisher: Aubane Historical SocietyPublished: 2008ISBN: 9781-903497-41-8Contents: Because historians tell the story of humanity, we depend on them for our understanding of who and what we are. But writers of history can also distort the story, presenting their subjects, not as people, but as caricatures of good and evil. When such distortion becomes serious and deliberate, Owen Sheridan describes it as anti-history.

Name: Puritanism And The TheatreSubtitle:Author: Clifford, BrendanEditor:Category: GeneralPublisher: Belfast Historical & Educational SocietyPublished: 2014ISBN: ISBN: 978-1-872078-Contents: It is not well known that the English Reformation suppressed the theatre in England, not once but twice. First there was Henry VIII's suppression of the mediaeval theatre, because traditional culture was permeated by the old religion. Miracle plays and suchlike became a form of thought-crime. Henry's absolute State required a thorough re-moulding of the populace and that included theatrical life. Half a century later the State encouraged the development of a new development of theatre, to provide entertainment for Elizabeth and her courtiers. The Stuarts who followed her also promoted a new form of theatre which flourished, and which had a marked anti-Puritan bias. Stuart (or Jacobean) theatre was anathema to the new Puritan religious development. A coup d'etat was brought about by Puritan forces in 1641. England became a rigorous Protestant theocracy and Oliver Cromwell abolished theatre for a second time. English social life came under the control of forces nowadays described as fanatical, radical or fundamentalist. Dating from this era, William Prynne's comprehensive Christian case against the theatre is described. After the Cromwellian governing arrangement ran into the ground, the Stuarts were brought back to power. With them came a new development of theatre after 1660, but only in a limited form under Government licence. In 1740 an attempt at political theatre was nipped in the bud. This is discussed in connection with Charlotte Brooke, an early translator of Irish verse, whose father wrote the banned play Gustavus Vasa. These events were described in an entertaining manner in a series of articles for The Heresiarch (Editor, Joe Keenan) which are reproduced here. Then there is a comment on Synge and Sean O'Casey, questioning a suggestion made on Radio Eireann that The Playboy and The Plough were met with hostile demonstrations because their authors were Protestants. Around the theme of Showgirls, the depiction of sex in popular discourse is considered. The overall surprising conclusion is that Puritanism abolished, along with theatre, the traditional communal medium of social life, creating a vacuum which is filled in the Anglo-sphere by an upsurge of theatre. The population lives its community life through theatrical presentations on stage, screen and air-waves.Extracts: There are no extracts at this time.Errata: There are no errata at this time.Price: £12.00Postage Option: It is not possible for us to trade using only one postage rate.
