Castle Richmond
1859
Castle Richmond is a historical novel by Anthony Trollope, first published in 1859. Set in southwestern Ireland during the onset of the Irish famine, it follows the lives of the Fitzgerald family and their interactions with the Countess of Desmond. The narrative explores themes of class disparity, love, and societal expectations, particularly through the evolving relationship between Owen Fitzgerald and Lady Clara Desmond. This work is notable as the third of Trollope's five Irish novels, reflecting his deep understanding of the socio-political landscape of Ireland during this period.

“But though I do not believe in exhibitions of God's anger, I do believe in exhibitions of his mercy. When men by their folly and by the shortness of their vision have brought upon themselves penalties which seem to be overwhelming, to which no end can be seen, which would be overwhelming were no aid coming to us but our own, then God raises his hand, not in anger, but in mercy, and by his wisdom does for us that for which our own wisdom has been insufficient.””
— Anthony Trollope
“The men who think of superannuation at sixty are those whose lives have been idle, not they who have really buckled themselves to work. It is my opinion that nothing seasons the mind for endurance like hard work. Port wine should perhaps be added.””
