  • "Trollope's tale of Ireland, set during the famine. Two Fitzgerald cousins vie for the love of Lady Clara Desmond, the penniless beauty. One has money and title but all that is threatened by a secret."@en
  • "Castle Richmond is the third of five novels set in Ireland by Anthony Trollope. Castle Richmond was written between 4 August 1859 and 31 March 1860, and was published in three volumes on 10 May 1860. Castle Richmond is set in southwestern Ireland at beginning of the Irish famine. Castle Richmond is situated on the banks of the Blackwater River in County Cork. Trollope's work in Ireland from 1841 to 1859 had given him an extensive knowledge of the island, and Richard Mullen has written that ""All the principal strands of his life were formed in Ireland.""<s."@en
  • "Sir Thomas Fitzgerald, a wealthy landowner living at Castle Richmond, County Cork, married Mary Wainwright, whose former husband was believed to have died in Paris. There were three children, Herbert, Emmeline and Mary. Nearby lived the Countess of Desmond, with her daughter Clara and her young son Patrick. Owen Fitzgerald, a relative of Sir Thomas, and his heir after Herbert, lived at Hap House not far away. Owen was in love with Lady Clara and considered himself engaged to her, but the Countess would not acknowledge the engagement, giving as her reason the unconventional life Owen was supposed to live in his bachelor quarters. Her real reason was that she herself was in love with him."@en
  • "Anthony Trollope, an Englishman, settled in Ireland in 1841 after volunteering to serve as a postal surveyor's clerk in Connacht. Trollope soon began to thrive in his new locale, marrying Rose Heseltine in 1844 and completing his first novel, The Macdermots of Ballycloran, the following year. Along with this first literary venture, Trollope went on to write an additional four novels set in Ireland. Though many of these works were not enthusiastically received upon publication (publisher Henry Colburn even noted to Trollope that it was clear "readers do not like novels on Irish subjects as well as on others"), they demonstrate the development of Trollope's early style and also capture Ireland during a tumultuous time in its history (the Great Famine and its aftermath). Considered one of the novelist's forgotten masterpieces, Castle Richmond was the third Trollope novel to feature an Irish background, portraying a stirring tale of a County Cork castle owner set during the earliest days of the famine."@en
  • "Set during Ireland's Great Famine, this 1860 novel follows the loves and fortunes of two families, the Desmonds and the Fitzgeralds, who find themselves caught in a web of intrigue and blackmail. One of Trollope's more poignant works, readers continue to visit Castle Richmond for its vividly drawn characters and sparkling dialogue."
