Edith Somerville and Martin Ross were second cousins born to distant branches of a prominent Anglo-Irish Ascendancy family. They lived together at the Somerville home for most of their adult lives, traveling frequently to Europe and collaborating on numerous books and articles. Their most famous novel, The Real Charlotte, was published in 1894. After Ross's death in 1915, Somerville continued to write and publish under both names, claiming that the partnership endured beyond the grave.

Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. nach der Bestellung gedruckt Neuware - Printed after ordering - ''Somerville and Ross'' were the pseudonyms of Irish cousins Edith Somerville and Violet Martin, who wrote a series of humorous and satirical stories about the life and times of a resident magistrate (R.M.) in Ireland. First published in 1899, ''Some Experiences of an Irish R.M.'' is a collection of these stories, which were based on the authors' own experiences and observations of Irish society in the late 19th century.The book follows the misadventures of Major Sinclair Yeates, an Englishman who is appointed as a resident magistrate in rural Ireland. Yeates soon finds that his job is not quite what he expected, as he must navigate the eccentricities and contradictions of Irish society, as well as deal with the often-comical antics of the local people.Throughout the book, Somerville and Ross use their sharp wit and keen observations to satirize the social and political issues of their time, including the tensions between the English and Irish, the role of women in society, and the hypocrisy of the ruling class.Despite its satirical tone, ''Some Experiences of an Irish R.M.'' also offers a sympathetic portrayal of the Irish people and their way of life, as well as a glimpse into the complex and often troubled history of Ireland during this period.Overall, ''Some Experiences of an Irish R.M.'' is a classic work of Irish literature that combines humor, satire, and social commentary to create a vivid and entertaining portrait of Irish society in the late 19th century.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
