Beskrivelse af The Irish Heiress
The Irish Heiress: A Comedy, In Five Acts is a play written by Dion Boucicault in 1842. The play is set in Ireland and follows the story of a wealthy Irish heiress, Eily O'Connor, who is pursued by two suitors, one of whom is a wealthy Englishman. The play explores themes of class, wealth, and love. The plot revolves around Eily's refusal to marry the Englishman, Lord Kilmore, despite his wealth and social status. Instead, she falls in love with her childhood friend, Terence O'More, who is a poor but proud Irishman. The play also features a subplot involving Eily's father, Sir Lucius O'Connor, who is in financial trouble and seeks to marry off his daughter to save his estate. Throughout the play, Boucicault uses humor and satire to comment on the social and political issues of the time, including the tension between the Irish and English, the power of the aristocracy, and the role of women in society. The play was a popular success in its time and has remained a classic of Irish theater.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
