	Robert Emmet History
		Emmet was described by Surgeon Wright in 1799 as 'a young man with military talent' who evidently sponsored his admission to the reformed Dublin-based Directory by January of that year.
		Emmet was the key link man between the exiled United Irish leadership on the continent and the new cadres which had coalesced after 1798 in Britain and Ireland.
		Emmet, however, had decided that it was not worth risking these men in a doomed effort and did not send off the rockets.

		Emmet's personal fame, fanned by his rousing `speech from the dock', has ensured a lasting place in the folk memory of Ireland and he was unquestionably the premier nationalist hero figure of the 19th Century.
		Emmet's father was the State Physician of Ireland, and, ironically, the man responsible for the health of King George III in the unlikely event of a royal visit to Dublin.
		Emmet was already a hero-martyr and his demand to be vindicated by the sole means of Ireland taking its place 'amongst the nations of the Earth' has resonated with periodic vigour ever since.

		Emmet ensured that his death was steeped in resonances of classical republicanism—the Senecan tradition of the death that puts the political and juridical system itself on trial.
		Emmet had earlier stressed to the French that seeming Irish placidity when the Union was passed was only ‘the silence of politics, under a state of persecution’.

		Robert Emmet was still seen as Thomas Addis’s brother, rather than as a figure in his own right, or a military strategist as Elliott and O’Donnell would have him, by an informer who was the legal advisor to the Ulster Directory.
		Emmet, at that time, was more dangerous to the movement he sought to promote than he was to the government, closer indeed to Borges’s traitor (if rather more innocent) than to Berlioz’s hero.
		To read about Emmet on the bicentenary of his rebellion and execution is to encounter a striking contrast between the display of pre-revisionist methodology, in all its weakness, on the part of two young historians, and a brilliant masterclass in how history and legend might be interpreted, by Marianne Elliott.
