- About The Author
- Sydney, Lady Morgan was an Irish author who lived from 25 December 1781? to 14 April 1859. She is best known for her novel The Wild Irish Girl (1806), which has political and patriotic undertones and has been called a "proto-feminist" book by some critics. Some of her writing, like travelogues about Europe, caused a lot of trouble and was even banned. Percy Bysshe Shelley and Lord Byron were two people who stood up for her. Robert Owenson, also known as MacOwen, and Jane Hill had a daughter named Sydney Owenson. Robert Owenson was a skilled actor from Ireland who was known for his comedic roles. He was born and raised in London. It was in England that he met and married Jane Hill, who was the daughter of a trader from Shrewsbury and was a Protestant. Owenson and his wife moved back to Ireland for good in 1776. They made their home in Dublin, and Owenson made a living by acting in theaters in Dublin, Drumcondra, and Sligo. They had a daughter named Sydney around 1778. She was named after her father's grandma. It's still not known the exact date that Sydney was born; one of her quirks was that she was often vague about her age. Later in life, she would say that she was born on December 25, 1785. She kept this lie up for so long that even her death record, which says she was "about 80 years," isn't sure what age she really was.
