- Summary
- "A portrait of a neglected poet and memoirist whose life brought her into contact with some of the major literary figures of early twentieth-century Ireland. Sheila Wingfield (1906-1992), Anglo-Jewish heiress and 'poetess wife' of the last Powerscourt to live on that estate, did not fit easily into any of the worlds she inhabited." "In conflict with her ancestry and her responsibilities and Viscountess Powerscourt, Sheila Wingfield struggled with the demons of alcohol, drugs, illness and conflicted relationships. Deeply private, she remained passionately committed to her writing - a commitment that isolated her from those around her. A selection of her poetry features in an appendix."--BOOK JACKET.
