| Publisher Description: In 1829, Mrs. S.C. Hall, an Irishwoman living in England, published Sketches of Irish Life and Character. This and many subsequent works established her reputation as a sharp interpreter of Irish character. What makes her work particularly interesting is that it displays a tolerance and lack of bigotry that was unusual for its time, and that she is openly critical of government mismanagement and misrule. This book explores her life and literary achievement. |
