  • “He Hath Mingled with the Ungodly”
    ―HE HATH MINGLED WITH THE UNGODLY‖: THE LIFE OF SIMEON SOLOMON AFTER 1873, WITH A SURVEY OF THE EXTANT WORKS CAROLYN CONROY TWO VOLUMES VOLUME I PH.D. THE UNIVERSITY OF YORK HISTORY OF ART DECEMBER 2009 2 ABSTRACT This thesis focuses on the life and work of the marginalized British Pre-Raphaelite and Aesthetic homosexual Jewish painter Simeon Solomon (1840-1905) after 1873.This year was fundamental in the artist‘s professional and personal life, because it is the year that he was arrested for attempted sodomy charges in London. The popular view that has been disseminated by the early historiography of Solomon, since before and after his death in 1905, has been to claim that, after this date, the artist led a life that was worthless, both personally and artistically. It has also asserted that this situation was self-inflicted, and that, despite the consistent efforts of his family and friends to return him to the conventions of Victorian middle-class life, he resisted, and that, this resistant was evidence of his ‗deviancy‘. Indeed, for over sixty years, the overall effect of this early historiography has been to defame the character of Solomon and reduce his importance within the Aesthetic movement and the second wave of Pre-Raphaelitism. It has also had the effect of relegating the work that he produced after 1873 to either virtual obscurity or critical censure. In fact, it is only recently that a revival of interest in the artist has gained momentum, although the latter part of his life from 1873 has still remained under- researched and unrecorded.

  • 7.2.2. Bmcl Knockainey Talk on Frank Ryan in Spain, 22.07.2017
    1 Knockainey talk, 22.7.2017 Frank Ryan’s role in the International Brigades, December 1938- June 1938 Before I start I want to draw your attention to three matters: 1) Much of what I shall say is on the rollups which you can read during the Break. 2) Many of the questions raised here tonight are dealt with in detail in my Book which is on sale here tonight. 3) You might like to look at a video I made on Limerick men in the International Brigades. Just go to the YoutuBe page and type in “Limerick men in the International Brigades”. The International Brigades were set up in AlBacete, south of Madrid, in October 1936. It was an initiative of the Communist International. Also in late October the first substantial Soviet arms shipments arrived in Spain, including the most modern fighters and tanks. Here I point out some of the Bases and Battle sites. (Image 1) The leader of the Brigades was a French Deputy, Andre Marty (Image 2), who was also a member of the Executive Committee of the Communist International and a close advisor of Stalin’s. 250 native-born Irishmen served in the Brigades which were soon incorporated into the Army of the Spanish RepuBlic. Conditions of service were harsh with inadequate pay and food; unfavouraBle battle scenarios were the rule in situations where the RepuBlicans were outnumBered and not as well-equipped as Franco’s troops thanks to the massive influx of men and weaponry from the fascist states of Germany and Italy. As is known, the democracies of Britain and France hindered all attempts by the legal Spanish Government to purchase arms abroad, while at the same time doing nothing to stop Italian and German intervention.

  • Book Review: a Definitive Account of the Irish Fighting in the Spanish Civil
    Irish Examiner, Feb 2021 Book review: A definitive account of the Irish fighting in the Spanish Civil War The authors of In Spanish Trenches: The Mind and Deeds of the Irish Who Fought for the Republic in the Spanish Civil War dedicate much attention to ex-IRA man Frank Ryan REVIEW: BRENDAN DALY Limerickman Frank Ryan and Londoner George Nathan were unlikely friends. Ryan was an IRA veteran. Nathan was a veteran of the Auxiliaries, the notorious paramilitary police unit in the War of Independence. Nathan almost certainly participated in the murders of the sitting Sinn Fein mayor of Limerick and his predecessor on March 7 1921. Yet Ryan and Nathan became friends when they fought alongside each other in the International Brigades – Nathan captained Ryan’s battalion – during the Spanish Civil War. The men were part of 35,000 foreign volunteers from 65 countries who joined the International Brigades to fight the fascist forces lead by General Franco. About 250 of the volunteers were Irish born. Focusing on these men’s day-to-day experiences in the context of the war, In Spanish Trenches is a scholarly, comprehensive, and balanced account of a brutal conflict. Franco’s attempted overthrow of the democratic Republican government in July 1936 triggered the war. The USSR supported the Spanish Republic, but the scale of the weaponry and armed forces provided by Hitler and Mussolini ultimately decided Franco’s victory in 1939. The Communist International recruited and organized the International Brigades. But only about half of Irish volunteers were communists. The peculiar blend of communism and republicanism among Irish volunteers (many were IRA members) lent Irish involvement in the International Brigades a distinct ideological complexity.

  • The Black and Tans: British Police in the First Irish War, 1920-21
    THE BLACK AND TANS THE BLACK AND TANS: BRITISH POLICE IN THE FIRST IRISH WAR, 1920-21 By DAVID LEESON, B.A., M.A. A Thesis Submitted to the School of Graduate Studies In Partial Fulfilment of the Requirements For the Degree Doctor of Philosophy McMaster University ©Copyright by David Leeson, August 2003 11 DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY McMaster University (History) Hamilton, Ontario TITLE: The Black and Tans: British Police in the First Irish War, 1920-21 AUTHOR: David Leeson, B.A., M.A. SUPERVISOR: Professor R. A. Rempel NUMBER OF PAGES: 264 lll ABSTRACT Over ten thousand Britons fought as police in the First Irish War ( 1920-21 ). Most of these British police were ex-soldiers, veterans of the Great War and members of the Royal Irish Constabulary (RfC), called 'Black and Tans' for their mixed uniforms of dark police green and military khaki. Ex-officers joined a separate force, the Auxiliary Division (ADRIC), a special emergency gendarmerie, heavily armed and organized in military-style companies. Pitted against the guerrillas of the Irish Republican Army (IRA), the Black and Tans and Auxiliaries took many 'reprisals', assassinating Irish republicans and burning their homes and shops. As a consequence, their name became a byword for crime and violence, and the spectre of 'black-and-tannery' has haunted Ireland ever since. This dissertation uses evidence from both British and Irish archives and from British newspapers to study the British police and their behaviour in the First Irish War. According to legend the Black and Tans and Auxiliaries were ex-convicts and psychopaths, hardened by prison and crazed by war.
