Morgan, Sydney

    0.03 sec.

Morgan, Sydney (c. 1783–1859)

Irish writer. Born at sea, she was educated at the Huguenot school in Clontarf, County Dublin, and accompanied her actor–manager father Robert Owenson on his tours through Ireland. Her volume of poems set to Irish tunes, Twelve Original Hibernian Melodies (1805), were a forerunner of Thomas Moore's Irish Melodies. She then wrote the novels St Clair (1804), The Novice of St Dominick (1805), and The Wild Irish Girl (1806), the book which established her reputation. Mature works include O'Donnell (1814) and The O'Briens and the O'Flaherties (1827), which strongly supported Catholic emancipation, and describes the variety of life in Connacht, which she knew well, having spent time there as a young girl.

Passages from my Autobiography appeared in 1859.
