"The 1800 'Union' of Britain and Ireland engaged the two countries in a relationship that was contentious and contradictory, but also enlarged the creative arena for talented personalities in literature, politics and the visual arts. This book explores how London attracted not only Wilde, Yeats and Shaw, but also theatrical impresario Bram Stoker, history painter Daniel Maclise, charismatic politician Charles Stewart Parnell, fearless writer Lady Morgan and colourful journalist T. P. O'Connor among many others." "Through focusing on the visual representation of the Irish, the diversity of these influential individuals and the changing perspectives on Ireland that developed during the second half of the nineteenth century are revealed."--BOOK JACKET.
