  • Irish Political Prisoners' Quest for a Desolate Shrine
    Chronicles of an ill-fated pilgrimage: Irish Political Prisoners’ quest for a desolate shrine Routledge publishes a magisterial piece of research on political imprisonment in Ireland and unveils the key role political prisoners played in shaping the modern Irish state. The second part of a trilogy, Seán McConville’s long-awaited Irish Political Prisoners, 1920-1962 (Routledge, 21st November 2013) simply cannot pass unnoticed. Based on years of research, and drawing on a vast range of archival material as well as a number of interviews with survivors, the book unveils the complex and intricate history of the Irish political prisoners from the formation of the Northern Ireland state to the release of the last Border Campaign prisoners in 1962. It shows how punishment came to embody and shape the consciousness of a nation. McConville masterly weaves human stories and key historical events into political and legal analysis in the text. In showing that the imprisonment of violent political offenders actually helped consolidate their cause, turning them into heroes and martyrs in the eyes of those well beyond the circles of activists, he shows us a lesson that is universally applicable to all political prisoners. With a roll-call to rival the Roman Senate, the author summons major political characters like Michael Collins and James Craig to Eamon de Valera, Seán MacBride, Moss Twomey and other leaders of the IRA ; he also doesn’t forget to make room for an intriguing cast of prisoners and staff, as well as those who recoiled against all authority, such as the youthful Brendan Behan and, in doing so, McConville reminds us that at the core of any historical investigation always and indisputably lies the human element.

Yet this traditional concentration on ‘great men’ ignores the fact that both did indeed make their own history, but under circumstances directly found, given, and transmitted from the past. Ireland and its dead generations clearly weighed like a nightmare on the In June 1920, the head of the British Army, Henry living. The calibre of leadership that emerged during Wilson, feared ‘the loss of Ireland to begin with; the counter-revolution arguably doubled the burden, the loss of empire in the second place; and the loss as the aborted class struggle in Ireland created of England itself to finish with.’1 Two years later, circumstances and relationships that made it possible with Wilson’s corpse barely cold, Michael Collins, for a pair of grotesque mediocrities to play the part of who apparently ordered his assassination, launched heroes—one at the tail end of the revolutionary crisis a civil war against his former republican comrades precipitated by World War I, the other on the coattails with British artillery.

Jean-Philippe Hentz, Université Strasbourg II In contrast to his featuring of Ireland and New York in Brendan Behan’s Island and Brendan Behan’s New York respectively, Behan did not use France or Paris as subject for his books. However, France, Paris and the district of Saint-Germain-des-Prés, a kind of village within the city, played important roles in Brendan Behan’s development, particularly through, and on account of, the influences and personalities he encountered there. Those experiences, enhanced by symbolical aspects of place which reflected and reinforced key characteristics of his identity, convictions and literary endeavours, would enrich his subsequent writing. There are very few well-informed sources about Behan’s stays in Paris and it is mainly in Confessions of an Irish Rebel, the second volume of his autobiography, that some account of his Parisian adventures is to be found.
