Young Ireland appears to have had the misfortune of being born into a family in which the father-son relationship was strained by ambiguity of affection and parental identity, and complicated by evidence of his father Samuel Ireland's obsession with the life and work of Shakespeare, as well as with a more general project of upward-class mobility.
