Also, while this is admittedly the most frivolous detail of a very interesting story, I do need you all to know that Roger Casement looked like this:

Sir Roger Casement | The Man Hanged as a Traitor Who Took on the Devil

Roger Casement (1864-1916) was an Irish nationalist and British consular official, whose attempt to secure aid from Germany in the struggle for Irish independence led to his execution by the British for the crime of high treason. Born on 1 September, 1864, in Kingstown, to a Protestant father and Catholic mother, Roger David Casement was heir to two radically different traditions in Ireland. As…

‘Portrait of Roger Casement’, as painted in 1914 by Sarah Purser (1848-1943). He was executed on the 3rd of August 1916 after he was found guilty by the British state of treason for his involvement in the (failed) Dublin Easter Rising. He had considerable sympathy from within the establishment, but the British security services got hold of his diaries and made it known that there was morally compromising material of a homosexual character in it, so support for him fell away. If anyone wants to explore this matter, then ‘The Back Diaries’ by Jeff Dudgeon is an excellent place to start. Don’t be scared by the door-stop thickness of the book. On the centenary of the Easter Rising his role in it was celebrated, here is how it was reported.

The Wall of the Wars by National Library of Ireland on The Commons Via Flickr: Herbert Ward's Studio in Paris looks like something from the days of Empire, as no doubt it was indeed? The selection of what appear to be weapons is extraordinary, and would appear to come from Africa and Asia, and perhaps some other continents in there for good measure. Who was Herbert Ward (a friend of Casement and an explorer of the Congo) and why would he have had such a collection? Photographer: Unknown Collection: Roger Casement Photographic Collection Date: 1899-1916 NLI Ref: NPA CAS27A You can also view this image, and many thousands of others, on the NLI’s catalogue at catalogue.nli.ie

Because I am back on some very specific bullshit I am ofc also thinking about how Joseph Conrad and Roger Casement met (were very briefly roommates in fact) in the Congo, and seem to have really liked each other. Conrad wrote glowingly of Casement in his diary ("Made the acquaintance of Mr. Roger Casement, which I should consider as a great pleasure under any circumstances and now it becomes a positive piece of luck. Thinks, speaks well, most intelligent and very sympathetic"). Six years later Casement made a point of looking him up in London and they apparently talked until three in the morning.

And then two decades later Casement was hanged for treason because he tried to run guns from Germany to the Easter Rising, whereas Conrad prominently refused to sign the petition for clemency.

#contrast conan doyle who was at least as ardent a british imperialist as conrad but very loudly on team pardon #idk ultimately casement fascinates me *because* he was not an uncomplicatedly heroic figure #(he was also a man of his time and v much complicit in british imperialism) #but because he was capable of taking that step beyond cognitive dissonance and into anti-imperialism #and it's like. what is the thing that cracks someone's worldview open? witnessing atrocities sure but conrad witnessed the same things! #is it because he was irish is it because he was gay can we meaningfully answer such questions about ourselves let alone historical figures? #is it even useful to try? identity is not political destiny. we have so many examples of it not being that. #Ability To Open One's Goddamned Eyeballs is really kind of a wild thing to celebrate anyone for and yet. and yet. #if there was some secret foolproof formula for getting people to do it my god we could get so much done #roger casement #my posts #sorry i swear i will shut up now

#OTD in 1916 – Sir Roger Casement arrived in Tralee Bay, Co Kerry on board a German U-boat.

From 1915 Kerry was central to plans for the Rising. In autumn of that year Austin Stack, the leader of the Volunteers in Kerry and a member of the IRB was informed by Pádraig Pearse of the plans for the Rising. Arrangements were being made for an arms shipment from Germany to arrive in Tralee Bay on Easter Sunday 23 April 1916. Stack and the Kerry Volunteers were to receive and distribute the…
