Muze Annotation: A picaresque novel portraying the adventures of an 18th-century rake and social climber. Redmond Barry, the headstrong son of impoverished Irish gentry, kills a man in a duel and flees to the Continent to escape arrest. Concealing his true identity, he joins the British army and fights the French in the Seven Years War. Later he deserts and becomes the accomplice of a famous gambler and swindler. He marries an English aristocrat and nearly becomes a peer of the realm himself, but he is exposed as an imposter and criminal by his envious stepson.
