Lover, Samuel (1797–1868)

Irish novelist and songwriter, born in Dublin. Lover wrote a number of songs, ‘Molly Bawn’ and ‘The Low-Backed Car’ being particularly popular. One of the founders of the Dublin University Magazine in 1833, he also wrote several novels, the best known of which are Rory O'More (1837), originally a ballad, and Handy Andy (1842). His short Irish sketches were combined with his songs into one-man shows called ‘Irish Evenings’ and ‘Paddy's Portfolio’.
