Judging Redmond and Carson at Bualadh Boston

Professor Alvin Jackson discusses his new book, Judging Redmond and Carson, with Kevin Cullen of the Boston Globe as part of the Bualadh Boston festival. Bualadh Boston is a showcase festival of Irish literature, presented by the Irish Writers Centre and Poetry Ireland in partnership with the Irish Consulate General in Boston, with support from Culture Ireland, Boston College, the Irish American Partnership and UCD Irish Studies department, and support in kind from the Harvard Club.

This event is free but ticketed. You can secure a ticket on the festival's Eventbrite page.

Judging Redmond and Carson is the fifth in the Royal Irish Academy's ‘Judging’ series and the first dual and comparative biography of Redmond and Carson. The book uses both new approaches and much new evidence to shed fresh light on their sometimes fraught private lives, their professional and political achievements, and their stands on violence and war. The result is a strikingly original reassessment of the two men and their legacies.
