Riassunto

Belmont Castle is an elaborate roman-a-clef, satirizing the lives of several prominent figures of the Anglo-Irish establishment and redressing a painful love affair from Tone's past. Written in a style that mocks the popular sentimental fiction of the period, Belmont Castle gives us a xenophobic Lord Charlemont, a foppish Sir Thomas Goold, a social-climbing William 'Index' Ball and 'Humanity' Dick Martin as one of several villains in a frothy tale of love and intrigue, abductions and duels, dances and dandies, blushing belles and charging rams.

Product Description:

(Here we have the novel written by Tone in 1790 - a mixture of fact and fiction blended together to expose the gentry of the day in Ireland. Marion Deane notes steers us through the truths, half-truths and innuendo shedding light on the great and the good Anglo-Irish Dublin in the period of Grattan's Parliament)
