SOME POEMS OF ROGER CASEMENT: with a new introduction by Sean Hewitt

by Roger Casement

  

€ 11.95 

ISBN: 9781835940136

Originally published in 1918 by the Talbot Press in Dublin, two years after his execution by the British Government for his involvement in the 1916 Easter Rising, Some Poems of Roger Casement has long been a collector's item. In life and in death, Roger Casement appears to contain many contradictions: decorated British diplomat, Irish Protestant and martyred Irish nationalist. He was a humanitarian, essayist and sometime poet, a public gentleman and a private lover.



Over the years, Roger Casement's ghost has been the subject of endless controversies, co-opted into both the queer liberation movement in Ireland and the Republican movement. Predator or saviour, traitor or hero, maligned martyr or gay icon? The question depends on who you ask, and what aspects of Casement's life they choose to hold in focus, or to dismiss as a lie. -SEAN HEWITT



Includes a specially commissioned introduction by Sean Hewitt, award-winning poet, memoirist, novelist and literary critic, as well as the original 1918 introduction, written by Casement's cousin, Gertrude Parry.
