For over 30 years Professor Rose has been researching,writing and interpreting the Supreme Court cases that have played a unique role in changing American law, politics and history.

Mary Elizabeth Braddon and the Jewish Question investigates the representation of Jewish characters in 70 of the prolific and wildly popular Mrs Braddon's novels from the mid 19th c to the eve of World War One.

Why a book on Eavan Boland? No critical study of one of Ireland’s most significant and ambitious living poets has been undertaken until now. Her collected writings seek nothing less than a redefinition of the myths structuring the current understanding of Ireland.
