Autorenporträt

Martin Ross was the pseudonym of Violet Florence Martin (1862-1915), an Irish author known for her collaboration with her cousin Edith Somerville. Together, they penned a series of novels and stories under the joint pen name of Somerville and Ross. Born into an aristocratic family in County Galway, Martin was educated at home and later, in her writing partnership with Somerville, became part of the literary tapestry of the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Their work is often characterized by its wit, narrative charm, and the vivid portrayal of rural Irish life. 'In Mr. Knox's Country' is one of the titles that showcases the duo's prowess in encapsulating the idiosyncrasies and spirit of the Irish countryside with humor and keen social observation. Although their literary partnership was cut short due to Martin's untimely death in 1915, the legacy of the authors endures, and their books are considered important contributions to the canon of Irish literature, offering insights into the complexities and transitions of Irish society at the time.
