Edith Somerville Livres
Edith Somerville était une écrivaine talentueuse qui, aux côtés de sa compagne de toujours Violet Martin, a signé des récits évocateurs de la vie irlandaise. Son œuvre se caractérise par un œil attentif aux nuances de la société rurale, capturant son humour, ses difficultés et ses traditions profondément ancrées avec une authenticité remarquable. La prose de Somerville est souvent imprégnée d'une sensibilité gothique, explorant les thèmes de la mémoire, de la perte et de la présence spectrale du passé. À travers ses représentations vivantes, elle offrit aux lecteurs un portrait complexe et durable d'une Irlande en mutation.

Durch Connemara
Mit dem Eselskarren in Irland
Hinter dem Schreibduo »Somerville & Ross« verbergen sich die beiden irischen Großcousinen Edith OEnone Somerville (1858–1949) und Violet Florence Martin alias Martin Ross (1862–1915), die mit großem Erfolg Romane, Reisebücher, Kurzgeschichtensammlungen und zahlreiche Artikel und Beiträge für Zeitungen und Zeitschriften schrieben. In dem 1893 erschienenen Bericht ihrer Reise durch Connemara bürsten sie das Bild Irlands als pittoreske Idylle gnadenlos gegen den Strich, voller Humor, mit großem Interesse und aufmerksamem Blick für das Kuriose und Außergewöhnliche, verfasst in einem wunderbar lakonischen, selbstironischen Stil. Die Autorinnen verbinden eine Leichtigkeit und eine leise Ironie im Tonfall mit messerscharfer Beobachtungsgabe und einer stimmigen Abbildung sozialer und politischerVerhältnisse. Ihr amüsanter Reisebericht ist zugleich eine scharfsinnige Auseinandersetzung mit den gewaltigen politischen und sozialen Umbrüchen in Irland zum Ende des 19. Jahrhunderts. Herausgegeben, erstmals ins Deutsche übersetzt und mit einem Nachwort versehen von Elvira Willems.
