Featuring contributions from a selection of Irish academics and historians, The End of All Things Earthly comprises seventeen concise, yet richly detailed vignettes that provide a fascinating insight into the faith profiles of the leaders of the Easter Rising.       The essays trace pivotal moments: from the horrors witnessed by Roger Casement in colonial Africa and South America; to the radicalisation of Patrick Pearse, whose writing reflected his Catholic upbringing; to the quiet prison cells in the sober aftermath of the Rising, where the likes of Con Colbert and Joseph Plunkett found consolation in their faith. Moreover, the personal letters and testimonies of the leaders contained herein provide a window into the minds of these revolutionaries as they faced their deaths.       Including rarely seen photographs and transcripts, The End of All Things Earthly offers a poignant perspective on the events of 1916, and explores the spirituality that shaped those who gave their lives to Ireland’s independence.
