Abstract

Roger Casement was a British diplomat, human rights activist, Irish revolutionary nationalist, and anti‐imperialist. He was born in Sandycove, County Dublin, in Ireland on September 1, 1864, the son of Roger Casement (an officer in the British army) and Anne Jephson. His father was Protestant and his mother was Roman Catholic, but he was raised a Protestant by his father's relatives in Ulster, following the deaths of both his parents by the time he was 13 years old. Casement left formal education at the age of 16, securing a clerical position with a shipping company in Liverpool. In 1892, he entered the British colonial service.
