'The Ghost of Roger Casement': Poetic AfterlivesReviews'This is a welcome study, learned, wide-ranging and on a fascinating and timely topic.' Professor Matthew Campbell, University of York "'This is a welcome study, learned, wide-ranging and on a fascinating and timely topic.' Professor Matthew Campbell, University of York 'As with all queer pasts the archive remains somewhat out of reach, incomplete, hidden, silenced and disputed; Casement will, as Garden rightfully notes, ""continue to haunt us"", but this work makes his haunting less of a ghostly white on white text, and is a worthy addition to Casement studies.' Mary McAuliffe, Irish Historical Studies 'Garden writes an admirably nuanced and elaborately and systematically interwoven text […] This study adds much to the fields of memory studies, to gender studies, to the nationalist histories of Ireland and Britain, and to literary studies.' Frances Devlin-Glass, Australasian Journal of Irish Studies 'Garden embraces all that is ""complex, contradictory and messy"" in Casement’s legacy: unrestricted by text or canon, she ... demonstrates how the ""queer archival trail"" of Roger Casement continues to disturb neat narratives of history.' Galen D. Bunting, Modernism/Modernity 'This is a courageous, profoundly researched and theoretically challenging work that synthesizes the expanding Queer archive of Casement material and builds on the pioneering work by the American literary historian, Lucy McDiarmid. Garden’s opening chapter on Conrad and Sebald must rank as one of the most stimulating interventions on the ""archival, textual and historical dialogue"" between Heart of Darkness and The Rings of Saturn.' Angus Mitchell, Review of Irish Studies in Europe" Author InformationAlison Garden is a Marie Skłodowska-Curie Fellow at Queen’s University Belfast.
