Abridged translation of the author's An history of the life of James, Duke of Ormonde. An abridged translation into French of Thomas Carte's An history of the life of James, Duke of Ormond, London 1736, an important historical source book for this period of Irish history. A key supporter of English royalist control in Ireland, Ormond became a major figure in English and Irish politics on the restoration of Charles II. Though broadly historical in content, this account of Ormond's life is fictional in its presentation. It is told in the first person and contains subjective commentary and emotional responses alongside the narrative of events. Physical description: 2 volumes in 1 ; 16 cm. more |
