Marta Ramon is an assistant lecturer at the University of Oviedo, in Spain. From 2004 to 2009 she was attached to NUI Maynooth, first as an IRCHSS post-doctoral fellow, and afterwards as a part-time lecturer and tutor. Her publications include the monograph A Provisional Dictator: James Stephens and the Fenian Movement (UCD Press, 2007), and various academic articles on nineteenth-century Irish nationalism.

'University College Dublin Press has now published over thirty 'Classics of Irish History'. These contemporary accounts by well known personalities of historical events and attitudes have an immediacy that conventional histories do not have. Introductions by modern historians provide additional historical background and, with hindsight, objectivity.' Books Ireland Nov 2007 'Scholars of nineteenth-century Irish and Irish-American politics should reacquaint themselves with these classics, part of a long running and immensely useful series from University College Dublin Press.' Irish Literary Supplement Fall 2008

• Introduction by Marta Ramon; Prefatory Note; 'The Faith of a Felon' and Other Writings.
