Dion Boucicault 
The Shaughraun [EPUB ebook] 
AN ORIGINAL DRAMA IN THREE ACTS, ILLUSTRATIVE OF IRISH LIFE AND CHARACTER

Delightful, romantic, heartfelt and, summed up in three acts, ‚The Shaughraun‘ is one of Dion’s Boucicault’s most successful plays.

Robert Ffolliott, a young Irish gentleman and fiancé to Arte O’Neil, has returned to Ireland after escaping his sentence in Australia for involvement in the Fenian movement. However, it is soon revealed that he is not guilty, but has been framed by Kinchella, a squireen who seeks to take his land and his fiancé Arte.

What follows is a melodrama that will leave you in suspense and laughing hysterically at every page turn.

Dion showcases a heartfelt and funny display in English/Irish relations, a romance that will warm your heart, and characters you will not forget.
