Lady (Sydney) Morgan, nata Owenson, fu una romanziera irlandese e una delle figure letterarie più vivaci e discusse della sua generazione. Iniziò la carriera con un precoce volume di poesie e una raccolta di melodie irlandesi per le quali compose i testi, dando inizio a una moda adottata con notevole successo da Thomas Moore. Il suo romanzo "St. Clair" (1804), incentrato su matrimoni mal giudicati, amori sfortunati e un appassionato culto della natura, con una chiara influenza di Goethe e Rousseau, attirò immediatamente l'attenzione. L'opera di Morgan è caratterizzata dal suo stile appassionato e dall'esplorazione di intense esperienze emotive.
