Somerville and Ross

Irish writers. Somerville and Ross were both members of the Anglo-Irish ascendancy, Martin living at Ross House, County Galway, and Somerville in the village of Castletownshend, County Cork. Their best-loved collaboration is the ‘Irish RM’ trilogy: Some Experiences of an Irish RM (1899), Further Experiences of an Irish RM (1908), and In Mr Knox's Country (1915), but their masterpiece was The Real Charlotte (1894). Chronicling the financial and amorous ambitions of Charlotte, the novel displays Somerville and Ross's characteristic wit and astute analysis of late 19th-century life in upper-class rural Ireland.

Their work is celebrated as some of the most subtle and entertaining of the period.
