More About the Author
Product Description
Book Description
A work of unusual and complex range, Lord Kilgobbin was Lever's last novel and was published in the year of his death, 1872. It is also his most avowedly political in theme and treatment. The distillation of a lifetime's observation, analysis and commentary the novel inches despairingly towards an advocacy of Home Rule. With its settings spanning the Irish midlands to imperial London, and Turkey to Greece, the book's heroine, Nina Kostalergi, emerges as the daughter of an Irish gentlewoman and a Delos prince. It is also remarkable for the fact that its hero is a Fenian. When the novel first appeared the abortive Fenian Rising of 1867 was still fresh in the public mind, and Lever spins a gripping tale of Irish politics in a context of imperial negotiations.
Lever wrote 30 novels and five volumes of short stories and essays. --This text refers to an alternate Paperback edition.
