The eldest son, Sir Patrick, is a traditionalist who is resistant to change and modern ideas, while the younger son, Charles, is more progressive and open-minded.The play revolves around the conflict between these two brothers and their differing views on society, politics, and love. Sir Patrick is engaged to a wealthy heiress, Miss Fitzharding, but is also in love with his cousin, Lady Emily. Charles, on the other hand, is in love with Miss Fitzharding's sister, Clara, who is a strong advocate for women's rights and social justice.Throughout the play, the characters grapple with issues such as class, gender, and politics, and must navigate the changing landscape of Irish society. The Sons of Erin or Modern Sentiments is a witty and satirical commentary on the social and political issues of its time, and remains a fascinating insight into the cultural and intellectual climate of early 19th century Ireland.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
