About this Item

THERE ARE NO TARIFFS OR CUSTOMS DUTIES ON BOOKS. A biography of the 18th century revolutionary Edward Fitzgerald, the son of Emily Lennox, one of the sisters featured in 'Aristocrats'. The book naturally follows on from 'Aristocrats' and is planned to make, with her third book, a trilogy which describes the fortunes of the extended Lennox family between 1740 and 1850. Edward Fitzgerald was born in 1763. He spent his childhood in Ireland. In 1780, he joined the army and sailed to America where he fought in the war for Independence. Back home he was elected to Irish Parliament and became a member of the Irish opposition. His political interests became increasingly radical, and he was eventually embroiled in the Irish rebellion, dying in prison. His life was extraordinary colourful and dramatic: as complex and interesting in its political dimension as in his love life. A magnificent sequel to 'Aristocrats'. *Miniscule (2mm) scuff to top left corner of cover. Otherwise very good condition.
