Stewart, Anthony Terence Quincey

FABER

A.T.Q. Stewart is the author of "The Pagoda War: Lord Dufferin and the Fall of the Kingdom of Ava", "Edward Carson", "A Deeper Silence: The Hidden Origins of the United Irishmen" and "The Summer Soldiers: The 1798 Rebellion in Antrim and Down."

The narrow ground: Aspects of Ulster, 1609-1969

Faber and Faber

The Society of United Irishmen is said to have been formed by Wolfe Tone on 14th October 1791 - but is this true? The author traces the roots of United Irish ideology to sources very different from those popularly associated with Irish nationalism - the Protestant republicanism of Oliver Cromwell and Algernon Sidney. This book describes how the Volunteer movement began during the war with America, how it revolutionized Irish politics and led to the development of the Society of United Irishmen. It reveals too that most of the leading Volunteer figures were Freemasons and that Freemasonry played an important role in radical politics and the evolution of the United Irish movement.

The Summer Soldiers: The 1798 Rebellion in Antrim and Down

Blackstaff Pr

This is an account of the years immediately preceding World War I. Britain faced its gravest political crisis since the days of Cromwell and Charles I. The Liberal Government was determined to grant Home Rule to Ireland, to prevent it, the Conservative opposition was willing to jeopardize the Constitution. And in the North of Ireland, a citizen army of 100,000 Ulster Protestants, led by Edward Carson and armed with smuggled German rifles, prepared to resist by force any attempt to eject them from the United Kingdom. A.T.Q. Stewart is the author of "The Pagoda War: Lord Dufferin and the Fall of the Kingdom of Ava", "The Narrow Ground: Aspects of Ulster, 1609-1969", "Edward Carson", "A Deeper Silence: The Hidden Origins of the United Irishmen" and "The Summer Soldiers: The 1798 Rebellion in Antrim and Down." In 1977, he was a joint winner of the first Christopher Ewart-Biggs Memorial Prize for "The Narrow Ground".

The Narrow Ground: Aspects of Ulster, 1609-1969

Born in Dublin in 1854, Edward Carson was one of the leading barristers of his day. He practised at both the Irish and English bars, and was the relentless prosecuting counsel in the celebrated trial of Oscar Wilde. However, maintaining the Union was the guiding star of his life. A Unionist MP since 1892; he first took office in 1900 as solicitor-general under Salisbury. When Asquith's 1912 Home Rule Bill was introduced he mobilised Protestant Ulster against it, playing a leading role in the formation of the Ulster Volunteer Force. He hoped to save all Ireland for the Union but events in the south both before and after the 1916 Easter Rising made this impossible. Regarding the partition of Ireland as a defeat, he retired from politics, disillusioned and embittered. His name, however, lives on and is still inspirational for the groupings - constitutional and paramilitary - who continue to cherish the union with Britain.

Traces the roots of United Irish ideology to sources very different from those popularly associated with Irish nationalism: the Protestant republicanism of Oliver Cromwell and Algernon Sidney, as transmitted into the 18th century by the "real Whigs" and Commonwealthmen who were the intellectual heirs of the English Civil War. The author also reveals that most of the leading Volunteer figures were Freemasons and that freemasonry played an important role in radical politics and the evolution of the United Irish movement.
