Colm Tóibín tells the story of Easter 1916, following the main personalities involved, in particular Thomas Clarke and Patrick Pearse. Tóibín also discusses how interpretations of the rebellion by writers such as Sean O'Casey, W. B. Yeats and James Joyce challenged the popular myths surrounding the uprising, and considers the "stark divergence in the after-image" as it appeared in England and Ireland.
ABOUT THE LRB
Since 1979, the London Review of Books has stood up for the tradition of the literary and intellectual essay in English. Each issue contains up to 15 long reviews and essays by academics, writers and journalists. There are also shorter art and film reviews, as well as poems and a lively letters page.
A typical issue moves through political commentary to science or ancient history by way of literary criticism and social anthropology. So, for example, an issue can open with a piece on the rhetoric of war, move on to reassessing the reputation of Pythagoras, follow that with articles on the situation in Iraq, the 19th-century super-rich, Nabokov’s unpublished novel, how saints got to be saints, the life and work of William Empson, and an assessment of the poetry of Alice Oswald.
"There is fragrance in your kiss that I have not found yet in the kisses of women, or in the honey of their bodies"
Not bad, that.
