Autorenporträt

Martin Ross, the literary pseudonym of Violet Florence Martin, was an eminent Irish author known for her collaboration with her cousin Edith Somerville, with whom she jointly wrote under the name 'Somerville and Ross'. Born on June 11, 1862, in Ross House, County Galway, Ireland, Violet came from an Anglo-Irish family and grew up in the historic environment that would later imbue her writings with a rich patina of local Irish tradition and society. Martin's education included a blend of home tutoring and formal instruction in Germany, which added a European sensibility to her literary style. Martin, together with Somerville, became renowned for her incisive wit and keen observation of the Irish rural life of the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Their work, such as 'Some Irish Yesterdays' (1906), is a collection of sketches that deftly blend humor with the depiction of an Ireland teetering between tradition and modernity. Their narratives often focused on the Anglo-Irish gentry and are acclaimed for their character-driven storytelling and vivid portrayal of the landscapes and people of Ireland. Martin's contribution to literature and Irish national identity remains significant as her works continue to resonate with readers interested in the Irish experience and historical milieu. She passed away on December 21, 1915, leaving a legacy that, intertwined with the voice of her cousin Somerville, persists in the canon of Irish literature.
