3.15* The Role of the Courtesan by Louis Allen
Verdi's La Traviata is based on the play La Dame aux Camélias by the younger Dumas. But Dumas's play is in turn based on the real figure of the celebrated courtesan of Paris society, Marie Duplessis. The type she embodies is not coniined to France: women like her have played a crucial role in other societies.

'She didn't know he was dead, not even missing. She opened the biscuit-box, maybe thinking it contained a present. Can you see her doing that? Can you imagine her, a girl in a flowered dress, pausing as she hurried out to her office, her fingers tearing off brown paper?'
An old Irish schoolteacher re-assesses her life. 'There are the three places: Belfast, Haslemere and that town.'

The intensity of the quarrel between Unionist and Nationalist within Northern Ireland has defied several attempts at political settlement, despite a spirit of unprecedented agreement between Britain and the Irish Republic. Nevertheless, reappraisals and new attitudes are emerging which could contribute towards a settlement.
Brian Walker examines the influence of the current thinking on the Irish problem, with the help of leading politicians, historians, and others.
