Description: O'Toole, Fintan. A Traitor's Kiss : The Life of Richard Brinsley Sheridan. Farrar Straus and Giroux 1998 Hardcover in DJ Very Good/Very Good Octavo 519 pp "The great Irish-English playwright--his politics, his impassioned life. A tale of stunning literary success, political celebrity and intrigue, early death, murder, treason, and revolution, this extraordinary book takes as its subject one of the most exciting and enigmatic figures in Irish and English history. Dramatist, politician, entrepreneur, philanderer, duelist, and revolutionary (or traitor), Richard Brinsley Sheridan was a man of many contradictions: a Protestant gentleman who cared about the rights of the Irish Catholic peasantry; a creative writer who was best known as a politician; a believer in sincerity yet a role-playing chameleon; a radical who masterminded the crisis following the madness of King George; a member of Parliament who associated with insurrectionists against the Crown."
