Edith Somerville

    Edith Somerville fu una scrittrice di talento che, insieme alla sua compagna di una vita Violet Martin, scrisse racconti suggestivi sulla vita irlandese. La sua opera è caratterizzata da un occhio attento alle sfumature della società rurale, cogliendone l'umorismo, le difficoltà e le tradizioni profonde con notevole autenticità. La prosa della Somerville è spesso intrisa di una sensibilità gotica, esplorando temi come la memoria, la perdita e la presenza spettrale del passato. Attraverso le sue vivide rappresentazioni, offrì ai lettori un ritratto complesso e duraturo di un'Irlanda in trasformazione.

      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.
