Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book brings together various essays and sketches, most of which were originally published in newspapers and magazines. They cover a wide range of topics, from travelogues to literary criticism, and encapsulate the authors' experiences of living in Ireland, Denmark, and France. The… author's observations of people and places are sharp, often humorous, and always honest. The narratives reflect upon the cultural differences she encounters, as well as the broader social and political issues of the day, such as Irish nationalism and the role of women in society. While her writing is firmly rooted in the late 19th century, the author's insights into human nature and the human condition have enduring relevance today and her keen eye for detail brings the past vividly to life. This collection will appeal to anyone interested in Irish history, culture, or travel writing, as well as readers who enjoy good storytelling and sharp social commentary. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item.

Hardback. Condition: Fine. First Edition. STRAY-AWAYS. E. OE. Somerville and Martin Ross. Longmans Green & Co, Ltd., London 1920 First Edition 280pp Illustrated Hardback. Somerville and Ross were two extraordinary Irish writers. Second cousins and products of the Anglo-Irish ascendancy world, they reacted both with and against t…heir environment to present in their books a deceptively indulgent view of the Irish and English. The reality of their lives was somewhat different. Each was gifted, but it was only in combination that they could fulfil their true potential. When Martin Ross died in 1915 as a result of a riding accident, Edith continued, through spiritual communication, to see herself as collaborating with her dead cousin, whose name she never ceased to add to the title page of her books. Edith Somerville in the fascinating alternative guises of master of fox hounds, spiritualist, artist and practical feminist. Born into land-owning Protestant families in the South West of Ireland in the mid-nineteenth century, Edith Œnone Somerville (1858-1949) and Violet Martin (1862-1915), wrote in partnership as Somerville and Ross. Their novels and short stories intimately detail the social and political conditions of the late nineteenth and early twentieth century in Ireland. They produced one of the most popular and best-selling series of comic Irish short stories of its time - the Irish R.M. tales (1899-1914) - as well as one of Ireland's most critically acclaimed novels to date, The Real Charlotte (1894). After Ross's death, Somerville received messages from her via 'automatic writing', and used this spiritual communication to continue their literary collaboration. This collection includes among many others a piece called 'At The River's Edge' which is considered by many to be Violet Martin's finest piece of writing. This copy is bound in original blue linen covered boards with black titling and decoration to the front board and spine which is a trifle sunned. The f.e.p. has some curious marks however the stock is crisp, bright and unmarked. A FINE example of an uncommon title. A dustwrapper is not present. This is just one of a great number of Somerville & Ross books I am selling, please see my listings for other titles. Ref J7.
