ISBN10: 1903688655, ISBN13: 9781903688656, [publisher: Ulster Historical Foundation, Belfast] Hardcover First Edition 2006. xi, 307pp. B&W and colour illustrations. "The Pursuit of the Heiress is a new, greatly enlarged and more widely focused version of what the late Lawrence Stone described as "a brilliant long essay or short book on the subject of the role of heiresses among the Irish aristocracy," which was published by the Ulster Historical Foundation under the same title in 1982 and has long been out of print. The new book comes to the same broad conclusions about heiresses namely that their importance as a means of enlarging the estates or retrieving the fortunes of their husbands has been much exaggerated." Illustrated endpapers and colour frontispiece. Both book and unclipped dust jacket are in excellent condition. All contents are tight and clean. There are no inscriptions. PLEASE NOTE: Heavy book so extra will be needed for shipping to non-UK customers.
