Gentry Life in Georgian Ireland: The Letters of Edmund Spencer (1711-1790)

In this collection of 120 letters, we follow Spencer's sometimes desperate hunt for preferment, making full use of an extended network of patronage which includes, rather surprisingly, a number of Jacobite sympathisers. Along the way he paints a vivid picture of everyday life in eighteenth century rural Ireland.
