Edith Somerville, 1858-1949, and Violet Martin Ross, 1862-1915, are among the best known names in English-Irish literature. They were cousins who entered a literary partnership that produced the 19th century Irish novel, The Real Charlotte and its series of comic stories, Some Experiences of an Irish RM. Somerville and Ross exchanged many hundreds of letters - which were often lively and full of close observation. The letters are amused, intelligent and curious, recording aspects of Irish life previously overlooked. Their portrait of Ireland - during a momentous 30-year period up to 1915 - is both vivid and comprehensive. The letters chronicle the last days of the big house and chart the course of a unique collection between two gifted and unusual women.

Ireland's foremost female writers of the nineteenth century, Edith Somerville and Martin Ross, advocated the 'High Art of Comedy' during the period of transition and turbulence in the Irish countryside. This critical biography of their collaboration, from 1890 to Martin Ross's death in 1915, studies the self-conscious artistry of the creators of the finest novel of the nineteenth century The Real Charlotte (1894). It considers the influence of both popular culture and high art in the treatment of the volatile Irish landscape and looks for the first time at the contexts of the immensely popular Irish R M stories and Edith Somerville's accompanying illustrations. The writers' sly send-ups of romantic notions of Irishness are revealed, while using certain expectations of a picturesque countryside to their own advantage. The book recontextualizes the writers' fiction and illustrations through inter-disciplinary and cross-cultural methods by considering the influence of the visual arts, theatrical production, antiquarian study, and literature derived from Irish, British, and European sources. In addition to Somerville and Ross's interest in popular and elite art forms, the book stresses the writers' all-consuming interest in land politics, suffragism, the Irish character and the Irish language, the workings of the law in the Irish countryside, and - above all - money and its lack in the small farms and cottages of Ireland.

Edith Somerville (1858-1949) was an Irish novelist who wrote in collaboration with her cousin Violet Martin ("Martin Ross", 1862-1915) using the pseudonym Somerville and Ross. Together they published a series of 14 stories and novels, the most popular of which were The Real Charlotte (1894) and Some Experiences of an Irish RM (1899). The cousins first met in 1886 and their literary partnership began the following year. Edith was devastated by Violet's death, which was partly attributed to a riding accident in 1898 from which she never fully recovered, and she continued to write under both their names claiming that they kept in contact through spiritualist seances. Edith was also an accomplished artist who exhibited her work in Dublin and London between 1920 and 1938, and illustrated numerous children's books and sporting picture books. A keen sportswoman herself, in 1903 she became master of the West Carbery Foxhounds. This work was originally serialised in The Ladies' Pictorial together with the accompanying illustrations which are based on Edith's own sketches, before being published in book form in 1893.
