About the author

The Hon. Emily Lawless (17 June 1845 – 19 October 1913) was an Irish novelist and poet from County Kildare. According to Betty Webb Brewer, writing in 1983 for the journal of the Irish American Cultural Institute, Éire/Ireland: "An unflagging unionist, she recognised the rich literary potential in the native tradition and wrote novels with peasant heroes and heroines, Lawless depicted with equal sympathy the Anglo-Irish landholders."

Reviews

[Kathleen F · Rating 4 out of 5]

I'm partial to this book because I wrote my master's thesis on it. So I'm giving it four stars because I find it so interesting, rather than for the quality of its prose.

Emily Lawless was a peer of W.B. Yeats, Lady Gregory and the literary nationalist movement (otherwise known as the Celtic Twilight)--respected authors of their time who were trying to create an Irish national identity through very idealized portraits of Irish Catholics/the peasantry.

Hurrish, written against the backdrop of the Irish Land Wars of the 1880s, gives a much more problematic view of Ireland at that time. Lawless, as a member of the disenfranchised Anglo-Irish landlord class, asks important questions about what Ireland is becoming.
