Synopsis
Excerpt from The Danvers Papers: An Invention
The Castle stands at the head of the lough. It is a castle only by courtesy, being really a large substantial building, showing traces of the handiwork of various generations, but nothing older than the bastard Tudor of the early Stuart reigns. Within, however, it is a delightfully irregular house, rendered charming by Irish warmth and brightness, and teeming with old traditions, droll, fantastic, or terrible, though even the most frightful seem to lose their horror when told round the cheerful fireside of Sir Bernard and Lady Danvers.

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book unveils the remarkable story of Lady Penelope Danvers, a 17th-century woman whose life mirrors the tumultuous era she lived in. Through a collection of letters, the author paints a vivid picture of Penelope's marriage to a dissolute Stuart loyalist and her unwavering adherence to Protestantism amidst the religious and political upheaval of the time. As the narrative unfolds, we witness Penelope's struggles with her husband's cruelty, her defiance against societal norms, and the heartbreaking loss of her child. The book offers insights into the complexities of 17th-century marriage, the status of women, and the clash between religious and political allegiances. It explores themes of faith, resilience, and the limits of female agency during a period of profound social and religious change. Ultimately, the book sheds light on the remarkable life of a woman who navigated the treacherous waters of a patriarchal world, leaving a testament to the indomitable spirit of those who dared to challenge the status quo. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
