Sydney, Lady Morgan, authoress of "The Wild Irish Girl", 1856. Lady Morgan is to be numbered amongst self-educated geniuses. But that her education was sedulously attended to from her earliest years is proved by her knowledge of foreign languages, and early acquaintance with English classical literature, apparent, to the very verge of pedantry, in her first works...Her contemporaries have seen her sparkling forth at the very earliest period of her girlhood with a fertility, versatility, and at the same time strength and maturity of genius, perfectly unequalled by any of her age or sex. Gifted with a fervid imagination, with exuberant powers of invention, with an astonishing command of language, she possessed also in an eminent degree that faculty which ungallant critics are fain to deny to the ladies of the creation - humour - genuine, golden, inexhaustible - and even rollicking Irish humour...'. From "Illustrated London News", 1856

EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures Sydney Owene Morgan (1771-1859), an extraordinary Irish authoress who rose to prominence in the literary world with her groundbreaking novel, "The Wild Irish Girl," published in 1806. Born into a humble family, Lady Morgan's intellect and insatiable curiosity were nurtured through self-education. Her mastery of multiple languages and classical literature is evident in her early works, showcasing her dedication to learning. Lady Morgan's literary prowess was recognized from a young age, as she began publishing works at the tender age of 19. Her contemporaries marveled at her ability to produce works of remarkable fertility, versatility, and depth, all while displaying a strength and maturity that surpassed her peers. Endowed with a fervid imagination, Lady Morgan's stories came alive with exuberant powers of invention and an astonishing command of language. Her works were not only intellectually stimulating but also possessed a genuine, golden, and inexhaustible sense of humor, even showcasing rollicking Irish humor that defied the expectations of her critics. This photograph, taken by the esteemed photographer Smyth in 1856, captures Lady Morgan's enchanting presence and the indomitable spirit that fueled her literary genius. Her impact on the literary landscape of her time is immeasurable, and her works continue to captivate readers to this day.
