Poland in the Irish Nationalist Imagination, 1772–1922
In his November 1798 speech from the dock, Theobald Wolfe Tone linked his revolutionary endeavours to two famous predecessors: ‘I have attempted to follow the same line in which Washington succeeded and Kościuszko failed.’ Michael Balfe’s 1843 aria, ‘When the Fair Land of Poland’, remained a favourite in Ireland throughout the nineteenth century, while Lady Wilde (mother of Oscar) was one of many Irish poets who published pro-Poland verse. In the…
Inspector Wallander’s angst, social change and the reconfiguration of Swedish exceptionalism
This article examines the extent to which changes in Swedish values and culture are undermining what has come to be known as the penal exceptionalism of that society. It does this by contrasting the two very different pictures of Swedish society that are to be found in the detective novels of Maj Sjöwall and Per Wahlöö, set in the 1960s and early 1970s, and those of Henning Mankell, set in the 1990s onwards. Notwithstanding the extensive social c…

Early in her 1980 novel Nuns and Soldiers , Iris Murdoch describes a hero-in-waiting, Peter Szczepanski, the son of Polish refugees who settle in London just before the Second World War. Peter’s schoolmates, finding his last name unpronounceable, christen him the Count, a title that follows him into adulthood. Though his father pines to fight for Poland and rescue his homeland first from Nazis then Communists, Peter refuses to take part: ‘He did …
Picturing Will
In George Eliot’s first published fiction, ‘The Sad Fortunes of the Rev. Amos Barton,’ there is a sly detail which strongly suggests her familiarity with the writings of Jane Porter. Eliot wrote ‘Amos Barton’ in late 1856, hot on the heels of her notorious essay ‘Silly Novels by Lady Novelists.’ Porter is not mentioned in the essay, which focuses on recent publications, but her surname appears most suspiciously in the fiction that followed it. Th…
L'Arbre de Cracovie
Early in Krzysztof Kieslowski's 1993 feature film Trois Couleurs: Blanc, the protagonist Karol Karol returns from France to his native Warsaw by hiding in a friend's suitcase. Barely escaping a gang of airport security thugs, Karol staggers to his brother's hair salon, which has undergone some changes since his departure. "You've got neon," he says. "This is Europe now," replies his brother
