Oliver Goldsmith (1728-1774) moved between the genres and
geographies of enlightenment writing with considerable dexterity.
As a consequence he has been characterized as a passive purveyor of
enlightenment thought, a hack, a harried translator of the French
enlightenment for an English audience, an ideological lackey, and a
subtle ironist. In poetry, he is either a compliant pastoralist or
an engaged social critic. Yet Goldsmith's career is as complex and
as contradictory as the enlightenment currents across which he
wrote, and there is in Goldsmith's oeuvre a set of themes-including
his opposition to the new imperialism and to glibly declared
principles of liberty-which this book addresses as a manifestation
of his Irishness. Michael Griffin places Goldsmith in two contexts:
one is the intellectual and political culture in which he worked as
a professional author living in London; the other is that of his
nationality and his as yet unstudied Jacobite politics.
Enlightenment in Ruins thereby reveals a body of work that is
compellingly marked by tensions and transits between Irishness and
Englishness, between poetic and professional imperatives, and
between cultural and scientific spheres.
Though his name might not be familiar to many twenty-first century
readers, Laurence Whyte (d.1753) is an important missing link in
eighteenth-century Ireland's literary and musical histories. A
rural poet who established himself in Dublin as a teacher of
mathematics and as an active member (and poetic chronicler) of the
much admired and supported Charitable Musical Society, Whyte was a
poet of considerable talent and dexterity, and his body of work
yields a wealth of insight into the intersecting cultures of his
time and place. Published in 1740 and 1742, Whyte's writing, by
turns humorous and poignant, insightful and nostalgic, straddled
the worlds of Gaelic and Anglo-Irish, of the rural midlands and the
capital, of Catholic and Protestant. Some of the dualities explored
in his verse were present, to varying extents, in the work of
Jonathan Swift and Oliver Goldsmith. In matters poetical, political
and cultural, Whyte is an important, though as yet neglected and
unstudied, figure. This edition, comprehensively introduced and
annotated, retrieves him from that neglect.

This book reflects intersection between the lives, commitments, and
strategies of two highly respected figures Dr. Paul Farmer and Fr.
Gustavo Gutierrez joined in their option for the poor, their
defense of life, and their commitment to liberation. Farmer has
credited liberation theology as the inspiration for his effort to
do social justice medicine, while Gutierrez has recognized Farmer's
work as particularly compelling example of the option for the poor,
and the impact that theology can have outside the church. Draws on
their respective writings, major addresses by both at Notre Dame,
and a transcript of a dialogue between them.
"Written by Michele Griffin, an occupational therapist, this
picture book is a must-have for any child with sensory processing
disorder. Pete finds his clothes uncomfortable and can't
stand "paint, soap, and things with lumps." He explains this
to his mother and the reader in this fun children's book, as he and
mom navigate a difficult, but typical, morning in the life of a
young boy with sensory issues."
This book takes the long-view by analysing Islamic State's
beginnings in Iraq to their involvement in the Arab Spring and
through to the present day. The world is watching IS's advance
through the Middle East. The US risks being drawn into another war
in the region despite its experiences in Afghanistan and Iraq. IS
are creating catastrophic waves across the region, but it is still
unclear what lies behind its success. Michael Griffin uncovers the
nature of IS through investigating the myriad of regional players
engaged in a seemingly endless power game: Saudi Arabia, Qatar,
Turkey and Iraq, which have all contributed to the success of IS by
supplying arms and funds. He foregrounds the story of the uprising
against President Assad of Syria, the role played by the Free
Syrian Army, Islamist groups, Iran, Hezbollah and Russia, the
chemical weapons attacks in 2013 and the House of Commons vote not
to impose a no-fly zone over the country.
Olympiodorus (AD c. 500-570), possibly the last non-Christian
teacher of philosophy in Alexandria, delivered 28 lectures as an
introduction to Plato. This volume translates lectures 10-28,
following from the first nine lectures and a biography of the
philosopher published in translation in a companion volume,
Olympiodorus: Life of Plato and On Plato First Alcibiades 1-9
(Bloomsbury, 2014). For us, these lectures can serve as an
accessible introduction to late Neoplatonism. Olympiodorus locates
the First Alcibiades at the start of the curriculum on Plato,
because it is about self-knowledge. His pupils are beginners, able
to approach the hierarchy of philosophical virtues, like the
aristocratic playboy Alcibiades. Alcibiades needs to know himself,
at least as an individual with particular actions, before he can
reach the virtues of mere civic interaction. As Olympiodorus
addresses mainly Christian students, he tells them that the
different words they use are often symbols of truths shared between
their faiths.
