<p>From Publishers Weekly      This first volume of a biography of a formative figure in Irish nationalism draws on a rich correspondence recently made available. O'Connell, known as the Liberator, grew up in a dualistic society, part Gaelic, part English, and in many ways lived a dual life. Sent abroad from his modest Kerry home to study law, he kept a steady stream of convincing letters flowing to his formidable uncle, the domineering Hunting Cap, which elicited grudging funds. His marriage, kept secret until the birth of the first child, was sustained on almost daily letters to and from his wife. This detailed study of a sharply divided life ends in 1829, when O'Connell, architect of the Catholic Relief Act, is elected to the House of Commons. A political autodidact, the man who hoped to become his country's Washington is presented in a rounded view that incorporates his private life and the public, charismatic personality. MacDonagh is an Australian professor of history. Photos. Copyright 1988 Reed Business Information, Inc.</p>

Irish Culture and Nationalism, Seventeen Hundred and Fifty Thru Nineteen Hundred and Fifty

Nearly half a million people emigrated from Ireland to Australia between 1788 and 1900. Almost 20 per cent of modern Australians are of Irish descent, and in 1900 this proportion would have been 25-30 per cent. The Irish have played a major role in the shaping of our institutions, attitudes, language and living patterns, and the history which shaped them is still of great importance to Australia today.  The Sharing of the Green  focuses on that period of Irish history when emigration was heaviest - 1790-1945 (an epilogue covers the past 50 years) - and concentrates on those aspects of modern Ireland that have had the most bearing on our evolution as a people. There is, therefore, a special emphasis on religion, land protest, attitudes to authority, respectability, the imperial connection and above all, politics.  Readers will find much here to satisfy their curiosity about a land which may be distant, yet whose heritage is integral to so much of Australian life. An echoing roll call of names runs through the pages, from O'Connell to Parnell, from Redmond to de Valera. The Great Famine, the fight for Home Rule, the Easter Rising and the roots of the present s
