Autor

Martin Ross is the pseudonym of Violet Florence Martin, an Irish author born on June 11, 1862, in Ross House, County Galway, Ireland, and deceased on December 21, 1915. She was part of the literary duo known as 'Somerville and Ross' along with her cousin Edith Somerville. They became eminent figures in Anglo-Irish literature, renowned for their collaborative works that often depicted Irish society with wit and insight. 'Further Experiences of an Irish R.M.' is the sequel to their highly acclaimed book 'Experiences of an Irish R.M.', which continued the tales of Major Yeates, a Resident Magistrate in rural Ireland. Their works reflect the tradition and transition of Irish life at the turn of the 20th century, combining humor with astute observations of the social and political nuances of the time. Martin's literary collaboration with Somerville has left a lasting impression on Irish literature, and her contributions to the genre of comic fiction are celebrated. Her writing style, characterized by satire and an ability to capture the dialect and dialogue of Irish communities, has been a major influence on the portrayal of Irish rural life in literary works that followed.
