"The Last September" is a novel by the Anglo-Irish writer Elizabeth Bowen published in 1929, concerning life at the country mansion of Danielstown, Cork during the Irish war of independence. Surrounded by burnings and killings beyond the confines of the house, the Naylor and the Montmorency families and their guests are preoccupied by tennis parties and dances, only dimly aware that the world of the Anglo-Irish gentry is about to disappear. The novel is notable as a valuable document of this class in the dying days of English rule in southern part of Ireland

A film version was released in 1999. It was directed by Deborah Warner and produced by Yvonne Thunder from a screenplay by John Banville. The music was by Zbigniew Preisner and the cinematography by Slawomir Idziak.

The film stars Maggie Smith, Michael Gambon, Keeley Hawes, David Tennant, Lambert Wilson, Jane Birkin and Fiona Shaw.
