- Binding: Paperback
- Publisher: Farrar Straus Giroux
- Publish date: 06/01/1999
Description:
From personal letters & other sources, Stella Tillyard has recreated the life of a headstrong aristocrat who died & martyred rebel for the cause of Irish independence. Lord Edward Fitzgerald joined the British army as a teenager, but radical sentiments soon prevailed over loyalty to the Crown. In North America in 1787, he spent time with the Iroquois; back in Europe, he became a disciple of Thomas Paine & joined the Irish underground. Even his love life was political - from his tragic affair with the wife of Richard Brinsley Sheridan to his marriage to the daughter of a French Republican. Lord Edward was plotting for Ireland's independence when, as the bloody rebellion of 1798 raged around him, he was mortally wounded by British soldiers.
