Revolutionary Lives from Poland to Ireland

March is traditionally a month that is associated withthe Irish celebrations of St. Patrick’s Day. This month we take a page out ofthese celebrations to discuss the lives of Count and Countness Markiewicz. Apair of revolutionary personalities who straddled the boundaries between Polandand Ireland but also between counterculture and rebellion. Our guest, Dr.Lauren Arrington, author and professor of English at the University of SouthFlorida, has written a book on the pair entitled: “Revolutionary Lives.” As youwill soon hear, we were fortunate that she was able to sit down with us andshare her knowledge of them as well as the place they fit into Polish and IrishHistory.
