John O'Leary A study in Irish separatism
John O'Leary A study in Irish separatism by Marcus Bourke. This classic biography of John O'Leary, a native of Tipperary Town and a leading figure in Nationalist politics, was first published in 1967. The front flap proclaims: 'His [John O'Leary's] public career spanned a vital sixty-year period for modern Ireland from the Young Ireland Rising of 1848 to the establishment of Sinn Fein in 1907, and he played a vital role in both historical events. John O'Leary achieved fame too as the sponsor of the young poet, W.B. Yeats, in the 1880s and participated prominently in the early activities of the Anglo-Irish literary revival'.

The Queen's Last Map-Maker: Richard Bartlett in Ireland, 1600-3
Richard Bartlett was a talented cartographer and topographical draughtsman who practised in ireland at the beginning of the seventeeth century. John Andrew's has just launched his most accessible book yet: the beautiful, deceptively slim looking 'The Queen's Last Mapmaker'. This is devoted to Richard Bartlett, the great Elizabethan artist-cartographer whom historian Gerard Hayes-McCoy first celebrated in his book, Ulster and other Irish maps, c.1600 - and whom Andrews ranks with da Vinci, Durer and Wenceslas Hollar!

Southern Irish English: Review and Exemplary Texts
Seventeenth century colonist English was received by an Irish-speaking population and remodelled on a Gaelic template. The two languages shaded into each other structurally giving rise to a hybrid – Irish English. Two major varieties emerged - northern and southern. Southern Irish English examines the second of these. This readable account of its origin, development and current status begins with a synopsis of its history and nomenclature, then reviews its major categories, including vocabulary, forms, sounds, syntax and meaning. Southern Irish English, apart from its intrinsic focus on language, is also an incisive commentary on the colonial process and the construction of community.
