This biography presents Lady Wilde as the linchpin of the Wilde family. Courageous and strongminded, as a young woman she defied her Protestant family’s pro-Union politics and, during the terrible days of the Great Famine, writing under the name of Speranza, she electrified Ireland with her passionate tirades in verse and prose against the English.
