The writer and translator Anne Plumptre (1760-1818) and her sister
Annabella, also a writer, divided their time between Norwich and
London, where they moved in radical and dissenting circles. Anne
also travelled abroad, publishing a three-volume description of
three years' residence in France (also reissued in this series) in
1810, and this work on Ireland in 1817. The first part describes a
journey to Dublin in 1814, the city and its society, and the
counties of Antrim, Down and Wicklow, and the second a further
visit which included Dublin, Cork, the lakes of Killarney, and
Limerick. Plumptre states that her 'constant aim has been to
examine every object with accuracy, to pursue every inquiry with
impartiality', and though the book is full of descriptions of
landscape and literary associations, Plumptre also gives her views
on the current political state of the country and the nature of its
people.
