Editorial Reviews
Book Description
Set in Ireland during the famine years of 1845-7 at a time when Trollope was living in the rural south-west of the country, Castle Richmond relays the story of the Fitzeralds and their fight to retain their family home. Trollope creates a disturbing picture of the lives of the laboring Irish poor both before and during the famine.
Download Description
Among the different houses in the country at which he had become intimate was that of the Countess of Desmond. The Countess of Desmond did not receive much company at Desmond Court. She had not the means, nor perhaps the will, to fill the huge old house with parties of her Irish neighbours--for she herself was English to the backbone. Ladies of course made morning calls, and gentlemen too, occasionally; but society at Desmond Court was for some years pretty much confined to this cold formal mode of visiting. Owen Fitzgerald, however, did obtain admittance into the precincts of the Desmond barracks.
