And The Shamrock Grows Green In The West
Neil Murphy's third book embraces the subject of the Irish 'Troubles' during the chaotic period between the Easter Rising in 1916 and the signing of the Treaty in 1921. Lord Keppel, a psychopathic Captain in the British army needs money to refurbish his castle in Enniskillen. His American heiress wife will foot the bill. Sadly for Keppel his pregnant bride, a millionaire's daughter, drowns as a consequence of a German torpedo attack on the liner, Moldavia, but not before the child enters the world. She is left in the care of Mossy McGuire, a passing Irish fisherman who rescued the infant. This story follows Keppel's search for his daughter, thwarted by the I.R.A. and friendly locals who are intent on saving the child from the hands of Keppel and returning her to her maternal grandparents in America.
Henry VIII, the Duke of Albany and the Anglo-Scottish War Of 1522-1524
The first comprehensive study of this war helps us understand how each country to defend the frontier, and the political issues which drove the Anglo-Scottish wars of the 1520s. The Anglo-Scottish War of 1522-1524 saw the mobilisation of tens of thousands of men and vast amounts of resources in both England and Scotland. Beyond its British context, the war had a European significance: it formed an element in the wider Valois-Habsburg struggles over Italy, with the complex systems of alliances spreading the repercussions of this struggle far across the continent and to the borders of England and Scotland. Recent years have seen the emergence of a renewed debate around the status of the Anglo-...
The Captivity of John II, 1356-60
This book provides a systematic analysis of the innovations that occurred in the display of royal power during John II’s four years in English captivity. Neil Murphy shows how the French king’s competition with Edward III led to a revolution in the presentation of the royal image, manifesting through developments to the sacral character of the French monarchy, lavish displays of gift giving, and the use of courtly display. Showing that the Hundred Years War was not just fought on the battlefields of France, this book unravels how the war played out daily in the competition for status between Edward III and John II.
John Banville
This critical study of John Banville’s major work considers the manner in which his fiction intersects with a variety of ideas relating to art. It also proposes that Banville’s fiction represents a significant development in Irish writing, and contemporary prose fiction, in its advanced reconstitution of the self-reflexive form.

Ceremonial Entries, Municipal Liberties and the Negotiation of Power in Valois France, 1328-1589
In a fresh examination of the French ceremonial entry, Neil Murphy considers the role these events played in the negotiation between urban elites and the Valois monarchy for rights and liberties. Moving away from the customary focus on the pageantry, this book focuses on how urban governments used these ceremonies to offer the ruler (or his representatives) petitions regarding their rights, liberties and customs. Drawing on extensive research, he shows that ceremonial entries lay at the heart of how the state functioned in later medieval and Renaissance France.
