The first of the literary Waughs was Arthur, who, when he won the Newdigate Prize for poetry at Oxford in 1888, broke with the family tradition of medicine. He went on I to become a distinguished publisher and an immensely influential book columnist. He fathered two sons, Alec and Evelyn, both of whom were to become novelists of note (and whom | Arthur, somewhat uneasily, would himself publish); both of whom were to rebel in their own ways against his bedrock Vic- I torianism; and one of whom, Evelyn, was to write a series of immortal novels that will be prized as long as elegance and lethal wit are admired. Evelyn begat, among seven others, Auberon Waugh, who would carry on in the family tradition of literary skill and eccentricity, becoming one of England's most I incorrigibly cantankerous and provocative newspaper columnists, loved and loathed in equal measure. And Auberon begat Alexander, yet another writer in the family, to whom it has fallen to tell this extraordinary tale of four generations of scribbling male Waughs. The result of his labors is Fathers and Sons, one of the most I unusual works of biographical memoir ever written. In this remarkable history of father-son relationships in his family, Alexander Waugh exposes the fraught dynamics of love and strife that have produced a succession of successful authors. Based on the recollections of his father and on a mine of hitherto unseen documents relating to his grandfather Evelyn, the book skillfully traces the threads that have linked father to son across a century of war, conflict, turmoil and change. It is at once very, very funny, fearlessly candid and exceptionally movinga supremely entertaining book that will speak to all fathers and sons, as well as to the women who love them. / Contents Family Tree I Pale Shadows II Midsomer Norton III Golden Boy IV Lacking in Love V Out in the Cold VI Spirit of Change VII In Arcadia VIII No Uplifting Twist IX Happy Dying X Irritability XI Fantasia XII Under Fire XIII Leaving Home XIV My Father To Auberon Augustus Ichabod Waugh Acknowledgements Bibliography Index.

Hardcover with dust jacket. Zustand: Gut. XIII, 712 p.: Ill., Maps. Aus der Bibliothek von Prof. Wolfgang Haase, langjährigem Herausgeber der ANRW und des International Journal of the Classical Tradition (IJCT) / From the library of Prof. Wolfgang Haase, long-time editor of ANRW and the International Journal of the Classical Tradition (IJCT). - Schutzumschlag leicht berieben, minimale Randläsuren, Vorderschnitt unregelmäßig, sonst ein gutes Exemplar / dust jacket lightly rubbed, minimal edgewear, fore edge uneven, otherwise a good copy. - In the nineteenth century, Ireland lost half of its population to famine, emigration to the United States and Canada, and the forced transportation of convicts to Australia. The forebears of Thomas Keneally, author of Schindlers Lbt, were victims of that tragedy, and in The Great Shame Keneally has written an astonishing, monumental work that tells the full story of the Irish diaspora with the narrative grip and flair of a great novel. Based on unique research among little-known sources, this masterly book surveys eighty years of Irish history through the eyes of political prisonersincluding Keneally's ancestorswho left Ireland in chains and eventually found glory, in one form or another, in Australia and America. We meet William Smith O'Brien, leader of an uprising at the height of the Irish Famine, who rose from solitary confinement in Australia to become the Mandela of his age; Thomas Francis Meagher, whose escape from Australian captivity led to a glittering American career as an orator, a Union general, and governor of Montana; John Mitchel, who became a Confederate newspaper reporter, gave two of his sons to the Southern cause, was imprisoned with Jefferson Davis and returned to Ireland to become mayor of Tipperary; and John Boyle O'Reilly, who fled a life sentence in Australia to become one of mneteenth-centuiy America's leading literary lights. Through the lives of many such men and women famous and obscure, some heroes and some fools (most a little of both), all of them stubborn, acutely sensitive, and devastatingly charming we become immersed in the Irish experience and its astonishing history. From Ireland to Canada and the United States to the bush towns of Australia, we are plunged into stories of tragedy, survival, and triumph. All are vividly portrayed in Keneally's spellbinding prose, as he reveals the enormous influence the exiled Irish have had on the English-speaking world. / Contents List of Illustrations Preface Note on the Text Maps BOOK I 1 HUGH LARKIN'S IRELAND 2 THE SHIPPING OF IRELAND, AND THE EXILE OF CHAINS 3 ASSIGNING IRELAND 4 THE LIMITS OF LOCATION 5 IRELAND AND THE WHITBY WOMEN 6 THE LASS FROM THE FEMALE FACTORY 7 IRELAND YOUNG AND OLD 8 A FOND FAREWELL TO THE WHITE POTATOES 9 A THOUSAND FAREWELLS TO YOU, ISLAND OF ST PATRICK 10 FIASCO AND NOBLE GESTURE: THE REBELLION OF YOUNG IRELAND 11 YOUNG IRELAND ON TRIAL 12 SHIPPING YOUNG IRELAND 13 BY ORDER OF GREAT DENISON 14 YOUNG IRELAND AND THE PROFANE COLONISTS 15 LOCKED WITHIN THE PYRAMID 16 THE SKELETON AT THE FEAST BOOK II 17 YOUNG IRELAND AND THE ISMS OF YANKEEDOM 18 IRELAND AND THE BLOODY ARENA 19 FAUGH-A-BALLAGH 20 THE CHICKAHOMINY STEEPLECHASE 21 WOEFULLY CUT UP 22 LET ME HAVE IDAHO 23 GLORIO, GLORIO, TO THE BOLD FENIAN MEN 24 RE-MAKING MONTANA; VIOLATING CANADA 25 FENIANS TRANSPORTED 26 THE FENIANS OF THE DESERT COAST 27 FENIANS AT LARGE 28 HOME RULE AND DYNAMITE 29 THE FENIAN WHALER 30 PERTH REGATTA DAY 31 REPUBLICAN CHRIST Acknowledgements Notes Bibliography Index.
