- catalog abstract ""Edith Somerville, 1858-1949, was one half of the writing duo Somerville and Ross, best known for The Real Charlotte (1894) and Some Experiences of an Irish R.M. (1899). This biography draws on newly available material, both written and photographic, to illuminate the woman, her work and her world." "Edith Somerville's family background and relationships provided a rich source of material for her writing. Gifford Lewis teases out these connections, examining the practicalities of being simultaneously one half of a writing partnership that lived in separate parts of Ireland and an individual completely immersed in her locale." "The book brings to life the world of Somerville and Ross, painting a vivid portrait of the vanished era of the 'big house'. Edith Somerville emerges as an extraordinary woman - farmer, horsewoman (she was the first woman Master of Foxhounds in Ireland), artist, champion of women's rights (she was President of the Munster Women's Franchise League) and writer."--Jacket.".
