Eric Coates (1886-1957) is perhaps the most familiar name associated with British light music. Sir Charles Groves said that 'his music crackled with enthusiasm and vitality. He could write tunes and clothe them in the most attractive musical colours'. Coates won a scholarship to the Royal Academy of Music, and from 1912 to 1919 he was principal viola of the Queen's Hall Orchestra under Sir Henry Wood. He also played under such conductors as Elgar, Delius, Richard Strauss, Debussy, and Beecham. It was, however, as a composer of orchestral music that he found his greatest success. Beginning with the Miniature Suite, written for the 1911 Promenade Concerts, he forged an enviable reputation as a...

Unfinished Revolution

"400 United Irishmen and fellow-rebels brought the spirit of Irish rebellion "down under" in the aftermath of the Irish Rebellion of 1798 - and changed Australia forever. At Castle Hill in 1804, this "army of shadows" carried on where they left off but during Bligh's overthrow in 1808, they stood back from a fight that was not theirs. The "political Irish" played a central role in the developing colony. Their professions, trades and skills made them useful as clerks, storekeepers and teachers, and fitted them to be overseers and constables, and helped bring self-sufficiency to the still-fragile colonial economy. They remained revolutionaries; only they negotiated change rather than raised warlike rebellion. Through their open defiance and quiet manipulation of authority, the harp "new strung" resonates to this day in the Australian ethos that United Irishmen helped to create." -- book cover.

The H.P. Lovecraft Institute

The old Martin house has sat empty for decades, a Gothic mansion shrouded in ghost stories and local legend in the small town of Morristown, Rhode Island. Now a mysterious member of the family has returned from England and begun to clean up the old place. Tony Dickens, the son of the local pastor and in need of a job, ignores the stories and answers Professor Abraham Martin's ad for a helper. Tony cleans the house, staying away from the macabre collection of wax figures—all murderers and despots from throughout history—in the great room and from the multi-level cellar where the professor does his "work". With the acquisition of souls from those slain by the wax figures in place, a portal from another world will bring about the end of humanity.

Cranna

Irish parishes are generally subdivided into townlands which, in rural areas, may be home to anything from one to thirty families. This particular townland lies in the south-eastern corner of County Tipperary and my intention is to trace its history and the lives of its inhabitants, while paying special attention to my forebears, who lived in Cranna.

A Question of Freedom

The story of the longest and most complex legal challenge to slavery in American history For over seventy years and five generations, the enslaved families of Prince George’s County, Maryland, filed hundreds of suits for their freedom against a powerful circle of slaveholders, taking their cause all the way to the Supreme Court. Between 1787 and 1861, these lawsuits challenged the legitimacy of slavery in American law and put slavery on trial in the nation’s capital. Piecing together evidence once dismissed in court and buried in the archives, William Thomas tells an intricate and intensely human story of the enslaved families (the Butlers, Queens, Mahoneys, and others), their lawyers (among them a young Francis Scott Key), and the slaveholders who fought to defend slavery, beginning with the Jesuit priests who held some of the largest plantations in the nation and founded a college at Georgetown. A Question of Freedom asks us to reckon with the moral problem of slavery and its legacies in the present day.
