Specifikacia Vicereines of Ireland
This book tells the untold story of the women who were the faces of the British administration in Ireland. As the wives of the country's viceroys, the vicereines were once the fashionable figureheads of social, cultural, and charitable life at Dublin Castle, in the days before Irish independence. Exploring the portraits, papers, and personal objects they left behind, this book sets out to recapture their lost legacies. Fabrics shimmer, flowers blossom, and pearls glint in the painted world of the vicereines. But behind these genteel images were activists and advocates who, as the studies in this book reveal, touched almost every facet of Irish life. Campaigns to develop hospitals, relieve poverty, promote Irish fashions, and, remarkably, mitigate what several perceived as the injustices of British rule in Ireland, are just some of their overlooked initiatives.
