Name: Edmund Burke by John Morley Subtitle: Author: Editor: Clifford, Brendan Category: Irish Collection Publisher: Athol Books Published: 1993 ISBN: 0 85034 068 3 Contents: Morley's life of Burke is unique among political biographies. It is the biography of one politician and literary man written by another. Each was influential both as a political writer and as a practising politician. Each was a strong party man, and yet each broke with his party at a critical moment on an issue of principle. Burke split the Whig Party because its leaders would not support him in preaching against the French Revolution. Morley, having held senior Cabinet positions in the Governments led by Gladstone, Campbell-Bannerman and Asquith, resigned from Asquith's Government in August 1914, after he had failed to dissuade it from making war on Germany. Morley was a major influence on Liberal Politics before he entered Parliament. As editor of the "Fortnightly Review" he had tried to develop a coherent and adequate culture of its own for the middle class which had become the dominant class under the Reform Act. This was a continuation of Richard Cobden's campaign against the "feudal" culture in English capitalism. Morley recommended to his readers the French "Enlightenment" writers denounced by Burke. Morley and Burke were antitheses both personally and in what they represented socially. Morley's biography is neither nostalgia for the old order, nor vituperation against it, but a critical assimilation of Burke into middle class culture. It is the kind of thing which socialist writers failed to do with relation to either Morley or Burke—a failure which rendered British socialist culture brittle, and ready to crumble at the first touch of Thatcherism. Brendan Clifford provides an Introduction about Morley and Burke, and a Postscript on a recent book on Burke by C. C. O'Brien. A guide to the main personages referred to is also included. 168 pp. Illustrations. Index Extracts: No extra online material at this time. Errata: No errata available at this time.

Name: England's Care for the Truth - by one who knows Subtitle: Author: Casement, Roger Editor: Lane, Jack Category: General Publisher: Athol Books Published: 2018 ISBN: 978-0-85034-136-2 Contents: These articles by Sir Roger Casement, originally published in The Continental Times of Berlin, have lain forgotten for over a century. Now, for the first time, they are published as a collection by Athol Books to bring the authentic Casement to the general public. They take up the theme of his only published book, The Crime Against Europe: British Foreign Policy and how it brought about the First World War. They reveal Casement as a consistent Liberal when English Liberalism failed its great test in the ultimate moment of truth in August 1914. They show Sir Roger as a consistent Irish Nationalist when the Home Rulers collapsed into Imperialism. The ground shifted under his feet but he remained solid. For Casement action was consequent upon thought and knowledge. Remaining true to his principles he attempted to forge an Irish-German alliance. Not for Casement “my country right or wrong” but who was right and who was wrong. This collection explains why Casement did what he did and how it led him to Easter 1916. It shatters the British narrative of the Great War by “one who knew”. It shows why Casement was the most dangerous Irishman who ever faced up to Britain and why they had to hang him and attempt to foul his memory. They have not succeeded.

Name: Envoi: Taking Leave Of Roy Foster Subtitle: Author: Clifford, Brendan & Herlihy, Julianne Editor: Category: Irish Collection Publisher: Aubane Historical Society Published: 2006 ISBN: 1 903497 28 0 Contents: Roy Foster is an Oxford-based overlord of Irish academia. He is not the first revisionist, nor the most thorough, but the most flamboyant. He is the figurehead of a modern tendency which has been busily 'deconstructing' Irish history. The aim is to undermine pride in the achievement of national independence, to denigrate those who devoted themselves to that end and, indeed, to depopulate the historical landscape of Ireland. Correspondingly, the crimes of the conquest are relativised. But in this book it is Foster's Irish Story which is itself 'deconstructed' by the Aubane Historical Society. His erudite references—to such matters as A.M. Sullivan's Story Of Ireland, Lady Ferguson, Gellner's Ruritania, Catholic Emancipation, Christian Brothers' education, national amnesia, De Certeau, etc.—are subjected to scrutiny by Brendan Clifford. They are found to be inapt, unhistorical—and even infantile. Foster's sub-title to The Irish Story is Telling Tales And Making It Up In Ireland, meaning that received Irish history is unreliable. Unfortunately the Oxford History Professor undermines his own thesis by retailing a piece of hearsay about the Aubane Historical Society in his book, passing this gossip off as history! In Part Two of the book, Selling The Product, Julianne Herlihy looks at how the media plays its part in the revisionist project by promoting Foster's work with publicity of every kind. In place of critical appreciation there has been adulation. Clearly the object is to attempt to create a readership for his work approaching that for the reminiscences of Gerry Adams, Frank McCourt, and Alice Taylor—all targets of Foster's vituperation. David Alvey deals with Foster's influence on the Schools History Syllabus. Brian Murphy osb shows how Foster has carried forward research errors by his three main academic sources in regard to interpretations of the national movement. There is plenty of food for thought in this stimulating and thought-provoking book. Extracts: Read the contents here.
