  • Irish in Australia
    THE IRISH IN AUSTRALIA. BY THE SAME AUTHOR. AN AUSTRALIAN CHRISTMAS COLLECTIONt A Series of Colonial Stories, Sketches , and Literary Essays. 203 pages , handsomely bound in green and gold. Price Five Shillings. A VERYpleasant and entertaining book has reached us from Melbourne. The- author, Mr. J. F. Hogan, is a young Irish-Australian , who, if we are to judge- from the captivating style of the present work, has a brilliant future before him. Mr. Hogan is well known in the literary and Catholic circles of the Australian Colonies, and we sincerely trust that the volume before us will have the effect of making him known to the Irish people at home and in America . Under the title of " An Australian Christmas Collection ," Mr. Hogan has republished a series of fugitive writings which he had previously contributed to Australian periodicals, and which have won for the author a high place in the literary world of the. Southern hemisphere . Some of the papers deal with Irish and Catholic subjects. They are written in a racy and elegant style, and contain an amount of highly nteresting matter relative to our co-religionists and fellow -countrymen under the Southern Cross. A few papers deal with inter -Colonial politics , and we think that home readers will find these even more entertaining than those which deal more. immediately with the Irish element. We have quoted sufficiently from this charming book to show its merits. Our readers will soon bear of Mr. Hogan again , for he has in preparation a work on the "Irish in Australia," which, we are confident , will prove very interesting to the Irish people in every land.

Over a period of many years, counte·rintelli_gence has been received indicating that the Soviets had a possible penetration into British intelligence. These leads provoked a continuous but unfruitful security investigation by British authorities. In: the spring of 1960, ISOXl and 6, E.0.13526 enabled the British to narrow their field of investigati·o;n to one of their staff officers, George BLAKE. 2..

In Octo.'~er 1948 he was sent to Seoul, Korea , where he was later captured by the Com­ munists . Following his repat:i-iatiorr to the United Kingdom via the USSR, he was assigned t o British i ntelligence headquarters in London, and subsequentl y he served for four years in their operational mis.sion SECRET in Berlin. In May of 1959 he returned to his London headquarters where he worked on M iddle East affairs for a period of one month .

  • Nineteenth-Century Literary Culture and The
    3 Lag fever, flash men, and late fashionable worlds Clara Tuite Our story starts not in the southern colonies but with a canonical scene of literary expatriation and scandalous celebrity: Lord Byron in Genoa, spend- ing the spring of 1823 with the so-called ‘Blessington circus’, a tight little entourage of idler-adventurers who cast their web across Ireland, England, and continental Europe. The ‘circus’ was named for the Irish author and lit- erary hostess Marguerite Gardiner, Countess of Blessington, and her second husband, Charles John Gardiner, the Earl of Blessington. It also included Blessington’s daughter, Lady Harriet Gardiner, and Alfred, Count D’Orsay – Marguerite’s companion, supposed lover, and surrogate son, supposedly the Earl’s lover as well, and Harriet’s husband for a few years. It was a tangled web they wove. Lady Blessington had a shadowy past. Born Margaret Power in Tipper- ary, she had been married off young by her father, an abusive minor land- owner. Having left her drunken husband, she later became, as she put it, ‘that despised thing, a kept mistress’, excluded from respectable London society even after her marriage to Blessington in 1818.1 In autumn 1821, she met twenty-year-old Alfred, the second son of a general in Napoleon’s Grand Armée. Alfred had taken up a position in the army of the restored Bourbon monarchy, but in 1823 resigned his commission to travel with the Blessing- tons in Italy and France. A spectacularly beautiful Regency Adonis, D’Orsay was known as ‘the king of dandies’, with all the ambiguity that entails: ‘mannish rather than manly’, he was ‘resplendent like a beetle’ and ‘like some gorgeous dragonfly skimming through the air’.2 Representations of D’Orsay often featured him on horseback, as in the background of the 1834 lithograph by the Irish artist Daniel Maclise, published in Fraser’s Magazine (Figure 3.1).

  • Exploiting and Securing the Open Border in Berlin: the Western Secret Services, the Stasi, and the Second Berlin Crisis, 1958–1961
    COLD WAR INTERNATIONAL HISTORY PROJECT WORKING PAPER #58 Exploiting and Securing the Open Border in Berlin: the Western Secret Services, the Stasi, and the Second Berlin Crisis, 1958–1961 By Paul Maddrell, February 2009 THE COLD WAR INTERNATIONAL HISTORY PROJECT WORKING PAPER SERIES Christian F. Ostermann, Series Editor This paper is one of a series of Working Papers published by the Cold War International History Project of the Woodrow Wilson International Center for Scholars in Washington, D.C. Established in 1991 by a grant from the John D. and Catherine T. MacArthur Foundation, the Cold War International History Project (CWIHP) disseminates new information and perspectives on the history of the Cold War as it emerges from previously inaccessible sources on “the other side” of the post-World War II superpower rivalry. The project supports the full and prompt release of historical materials by governments on all sides of the Cold War, and seeks to accelerate the process of integrating new sources, materials and perspectives from the former “Communist bloc” with the historiography of the Cold War which has been written over the past few decades largely by Western scholars reliant on Western archival sources. It also seeks to transcend barriers of language, geography, and regional specialization to create new links among scholars interested in Cold War history. Among the activities undertaken by the project to promote this aim are a periodic BULLETIN to disseminate new findings, views, and activities pertaining to Cold War history; a fellowship program for young historians from the former Communist bloc to conduct archival research and study Cold War history in the United States; international scholarly meetings, conferences, and seminars; and publications.
