Amanda McKittrick Ros, born Anna Margaret McKittrick on December 8, 1860, in Drumaness, Ireland, was a noted Northern Irish writer, best known for her debut novel 'Irene Iddesleigh', published in 1897. Ros's writing is often remembered for its unique use of language, characterized by convoluted metaphors, overly grandiose diction and complex, verbose sentences that have fascinated scholars and readers alike. Her literary style, widely regarded as one of the worst in English literature, has ironically garnered a cult following and even inspired an informal club of renowned writers, including Aldous Huxley and J.R.R. Tolkien, who would compete to read her work without laughing. Ros saw herself as a serious and significant author, penning a limited but impactful oeuvre including novels and poetry; her unintentional contribution to the genre of comedic literature has nonetheless cemented her place in the annals of literary history. Despite the derision, Ros continued to write with unassailable confidence, leaving behind a legacy as a writer whose works transcend the boundaries of conventional critique and embody a category all their own (Todd, 2014).
