1995. Sinclair-Stevenson. First. Hard Cover. Book- VG+. DJ- VG. 10x7.5. 373pp. Many colour and b/w photos by Mark Fiennes, 1 map. For seven hundred years the Ascendancy dominated Ireland. Within their demesnes landlords built their great houses, landscaped their parks and spent wealth gathered from rents. In the twentieth century they vanished, leaving behind ruins and a reputation for being ogres. Making use of letters, diaries, memoirs, estate documents, inventories, travellers' tales and family reminiscences, this examines the lifestyle of those described as 'rural sovereigns'.
