The first book by the Irish writing duo of Somerville and Ross, An Irish Cousin was initially intended as a sensational, Gothic novel, but underwent a transformation after Edith visited an aunt and was struck by the impoverishment of her once-landed gentry relative. The decline in the class of Irish who owned land became the theme of the novel.
Giới thiệu về tác giả
Edith Somerville (1858–1949) was born on the island of Corfu, but grew up in the Irish countryside, which inspired her writing. She and her cousin, Ross, wrote novels, short stories, travel essays, and memoirs together. After Ross’s death, Somerville published three more novels, all with Ross’s name on them alongside hers.
Violet Florence Martin (1862–1915) published with her cousin under the pen name of Somerville and Ross. They were lifelong companions and literary partners, writing the popular “R. M.” stories, comprising Some Experiences of an Irish R. M. and Further Experiences of an Irish R. M., as well as other works.
