Catalogue synopsis
Project Gutenberg supplies this automated synopsis of the opening text:
"My Lords of Strogue, Vol. 1 (of 3)" by Lewis Wingfield is a historical novel written in the late 19th century. The book explores the political and social landscape of Ireland during a tumultuous period of its history, particularly focusing on the rise of the Irish Volunteers and their quest for independence. The central figure appears to be Lord Glandore, whose tumultuous relationships within his family highlight the intersection of personal and national conflict. The opening of the novel depicts a vibrant scene in Dublin celebrating the victory of the Volunteers in November 1783. Citizens, adorned in military garb and festive decorations, fill the streets in joyful mourning for a newfound sense of freedom, while a simultaneous undercurrent of tension looms as past grievances and religious divides flare. As the narrative unfolds, complex characters such as Lady Glandore and the priestly figure of John Philpot Curran emerge, revealing deeper societal issues—particularly regarding the status and rights of Irish Catholics. The chapter concludes with a series of politically charged discussions, hinting at impending challenges to the hopeful atmosphere.
