Book summaryThis important novel, written in 1812, was a work of social criticism that raised people's consciousness about the evils of absentee landlords, specifically the English in Ireland. The story involves the efforts of young Lord Colambre to right the wrongs done by his aristocratic parents, who are oblivious to the wretchedly impoverished condition of the tenants on their Irish estates. |
