Interesting biography - of a rebel who died fighting for justice for Ireland I didn't know much about Edward Fitzgerald until I picked up this book, other than he lived during an era I find fascinating. As I delved into this biography, I learned a lot about the culture of the 18th-century British aristocracy and Fitzgerald's unique family. Still, it was until the later chapters, when Fitzgerald matured, married, and started plotting an uprising that I really became interested. I knew that France had encouraged Irish rebellions at various points in history, but I was unfamiliar with this case and it was fascinating to see the story unfold, even if it did not end well for Fitzgerald. aucune critique | ajouter une critique

"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. 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."
