Beschreibung

My lords of Strogue: A chronicle of Ireland from the Convention to the Union Vol. II presents a vivid portrayal of a nation caught between celebration and unrest. It immerses the reader in a charged political moment where outward expressions of pride conceal deeper fractures rooted in power, religion, and identity. The narrative evokes a country balancing on the edge of transformation, where public festivity masks unresolved tensions and historical grievances. Through glimpses of private discord and public celebration, the novel captures a fragile unity threatened by ideological divergence and institutional exclusion. The ceremonial pomp of victory highlights contrasting realities, as symbolic gestures fail to erase the inequalities that persist beneath the surface. The unfolding political dialogue and conflicting aspirations reveal a broader search for legitimacy, justice, and national coherence. The story reflects how familial relationships often mirror larger societal struggles, with private loyalties clashing against public duties and historical allegiances. My lords of Strogue: A chronicle of Ireland from the Convention to the Union portrays a critical juncture where the promise of change is met with the burden of past injustice and the complexity of forging a unified national identity from divided roots.

Lewis Strange Wingfield was an Irish writer, painter, actor, and avid traveler known for his wide-ranging pursuits and creative output in the late 19th century. He was born on February 25, 1842, to Richard Wingfield, 6th Viscount Powerscourt, and Lady Elizabeth Jocelyn. Coming from an aristocratic background, he pursued unconventional paths for someone of his standing, developing a reputation for his theatrical roles and vivid travel accounts. His interest in performance extended into his writing, which often combined dramatic flair with historical insight. Wingfield painted and exhibited his work while also contributing as a correspondent and observer in places experiencing social and political change. His passion for travel led him to diverse locations, and these experiences frequently shaped the settings and atmosphere of his novels. He was known for exploring complex emotional and philosophical ideas through characters set against the backdrop of historical turbulence. Wingfield shared his life with Cecilia FitzPatrick from 1868 onward. He died in 1891 at the age of 49, having left behind a legacy of work that spanned the arts and reflected a curiosity for both the inner lives of people and the forces shaping their world.
