Father Andrew Mullen 1790-1818: a study in early nineteenth century spirituality
No full textThis thesis is laid out in three parts: Part I. The life and death of Andrew Mullen. The life is based, to a large extent, on a long letter to his mother, Catherine Mullen, dated 7 January 1810. The letter gives a definite insight into his spirituality based on his membership of the Archconfraternity of the Blessed Sacrament. There is a hint that he had a premonition of an early death. Part II. The burial of Andrew Mullen and the immediate cult to him This is based on documentary evidence. Part III. Most of this part is a catalogue of testimonies taken from 1993 onwards. Then there is the conclusion on the popular devotion to Andrew Mullen stressing the theological aspect of the subject. In the course of writing the thesis it was decided to separate the documentary evidence from the oral tradition. This was advantageous in developing the thesis, and the documents provided a secure basis for the oral tradition. Two pieces of information were found in March 1997. They are death notices: 2 January 1819, The Leinster Journal and 7 January 1819, The Car low Morning Post. There is a slight discrepancy between the two on the date of his death. Also this discrepancy shows a slight difference from the date of the tombstone

Strategic Fictions? John Buchan, The Times and the Ypres Salient
No full textJohn Buchan is widely known as an author of thrillers and adventure stories. His reputation as a writer of the First World War is much more limited and much more problematic. Both individually and as one of the collective of British writers who wrote in support of the nation’s wartime propaganda effort, Buchan has been subject to harsh criticism. Only recently has work by Kate Macdonald begun to trace the detail of Buchan’s war writing, which included reportage, fiction, poetry and history. As Macdonald has pointed out, Buchan’s reputation as an authority on the conflict, though high at the time, is ‘now routinely shredded’ (Macdonald 181). This chapter challenges that critical consensus, arguing that Buchan made a genuine effort to communicate the reality of the war and that he did so by use of techniques and strategies central to modern definitions of literary journalism. To condemn Buchan for the limitations of his war writing is to fail to grasp the conditions under which he worked. As John S. Bak has argued in relation to global literary journalism, ‘critiquing state-controlled presses for squashing unsavoury truths or spinning damning facts is to ignore the wider issue that, culturally speaking, we all just value truth and fact differently’ (5). The wartime valuation of truth and fact certainly differed from modern scholarly valuations. However, as Bak also suggests, the limitations imposed by war also stimulate the kind of experimentation with literary technique characteristic of literary journalism (6). Reading John Buchan’s May 1915 correspondence for The Times through the paradigm of literary journalism scholarship, this chapter argues that Buchan broke with existing journalistic traditions and experimented with literary strategies in order to connect his readers to the conflict

Bioethics, Medicine and the Criminal Law
No full textIn recent years, debates have arisen concerning the encroachment of the criminal process in regulating fatal medical error, the implementation of the Corporate Manslaughter and Corporate Homicide Act 2007 and the recent release of the Director of Public Prosecution's assisted suicide policy. Consequently, questions have been raised regarding the extent to which such intervention helps, or if it in fact hinders, the sustained development of medical practice. In this collection, Danielle Griffiths and Andrew Sanders explore the operation of the criminal process in healthcare in the UK as well as in other jurisdictions, including the USA, Australia, New Zealand, France and the Netherlands. Using evidence from previous cases alongside empirical data, each essay engages the reader with the debate surrounding what the appropriate role of the criminal process in healthcare should be and aims to clarify and shape policy and legislation in this under-researched area
