Hall, Anna Maria (1800–1881)

Irish novelist. Born in Dublin, Hall spent her childhood in County Wexford, before moving to London in 1815. Her works include Sketches of Irish Character (1829), The Buccaneer (1832), and The White Boy (1845). She also contributed many sketches to the Art Journal, edited by her husband, Samuel Carter Hall (1800–1889). Together they collaborated to produce Ireland, its Scenery and Character (1841).

Although Hall left Ireland at an early age, it provided the background for several of her successful books.
