Lady (Sydney) Morgan, née Owenson, était une romancière irlandaise et l'une des figures littéraires les plus vives et les plus commentées de sa génération. Elle débuta sa carrière avec un recueil précoce de poèmes et une collection d'airs irlandais pour lesquels elle écrivit les paroles, lançant une mode adoptée avec un succès notable par Thomas Moore. Son roman "St. Clair" (1804), explorant le mariage mal avisé, l'amour infortuné et un culte passionné de la nature, avec une influence évidente de Goethe et Rousseau, attira immédiatement l'attention. L'œuvre de Morgan se distingue par son style passionné et l'exploration d'intenses expériences émotionnelles.
