The further adventures of Paul Howard's eponymous anti-hero.

    These beautifully rendered tales reveal Trevor's compassion for the human condition and confirm once again his position as one of the premier writers of the short story.

    In the title story, a teenage girl must choose between allegiance to her Catholic father and gratitude to the British soldiers who have saved the family's horse. The young hero of Hunger Strike, a novella, tries to replicate the experience of his uncle, an IRA prisoner on hunger strike. And in Wood, a small boy does his part for the Protestant marches, concealing his involvement from his blind father.

    Yeats: Twentieth-Century Magus explores the esoteric life of Yeats, one of the most important writers of the 20th century. In addition to being a celebrated poet, Yeats was also a leading occultist, schooled in the initiatory mysteries of the West, and a member of the Golden Dawn. Susan Johnston Graf examines both Yeats the poet and Yeats the Magus, synthesizing the two and creating a truer, more interesting, and much more colorful picture of the man.

    Striking conductors and drivers, members of the Irish Transport Workers' Union, abandoned their vehicles. They had refused a demand from their employer, William Martin Murphy of the Dublin United Transport Company, to forswear union membership or face dismissal. The company then locked them out. Within a month, the charismatic union leader, James Larkin, had called out over 20,000 workers across the city in sympathetic action.By January 1914 the union had lost the battle, lacking the resources for a long campaign. But it won the war: 1913 meant that there was no going back to the horrors of pre-Larkin Dublin. This outstanding survey shows why: it has already established itself as the definitive work on the Lockout.
