Description

Lives Less Ordinary: Dublin's Fitzwilliam Square, 1798-1922 In this captivating exploration of Dublin's Fitzwilliam Square, Andrew Hughes brings to life the remarkable stories of its inhabitants. Over sixty-nine houses, four corners of Georgian Dublin, a true-life cast of characters shaped the history of the city and beyond. From the intrigue of drawing rooms to the battlefields of war, these individuals left an indelible mark on Irish life, politics, law, and culture in the 19th and early 20th centuries. Hughes weaves together tales of artistic expression, social convention, and personal scandals, creating a fascinating portrait of individual lives and their collective impact on the world. This updated edition offers a fresh perspective on Dublin's past, with stories that are both varied and wide-ranging, yet anchored by their connection to Fitzwilliam Square.
