Overview

"My Lords of Strogue, Vol. 3" by Lewis Wingfield is a historical novel written in the late 19th century. This volume concludes a chronicle set in Ireland during a tumultuous period, exploring the consequences of a rebellion and the moral dilemmas faced by its characters. The main characters include the conflicted Robert Emmett and the scheming Cassidy, who navigate the challenges posed by political unrest and personal ambition against the backdrop of impending doom. The opening of the volume sets a tense scene in Dublin, where the Lords and Commons are grappling with fear and shame regarding the rebellion and public opinion. The narrative introduces Robert Emmett, who is disheartened by the treatment of the Irish and the indifference from England. As tensions rise, the plot unfolds with characters engaging in negotiations and conflicted loyalties. Cassidy, caught between financial temptation and personal loyalty, faces an inner struggle that parallels the larger conflict in Ireland. Meanwhile, the political landscape is fraught with treachery, as the dialogue among the ruling class reveals their fear of losing control amidst the chaos. This compelling opening hints at the complex interplay of personal ambitions, societal turmoil, and the cost of rebellion. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
