add to cart   close window

This article focuses on the book "The Last September," by Elizabeth Bowen. Bowen shows in fiction the reverse face of the Irish coin during the Sinn Fein, a political movement of Ireland, struggle for freedom. Here is a family that to Sinn Feiners represented England entrenched, trying to carry on according to their traditions in face of an upheaval they refused to acknowledge. Sir Richard and Lady Taylor are of the class that in the old days would have been known as the "Castle crowd" In Ireland they were English, in England, Irish. It is a good tale of honest-minded, unintellectual, well-bred people set in a time decidedly out of joint.
