Great-Uncle McCarthy by Somerville and Ross

  • サマリー

  • Edith Somerville and Violet Florence Ross (pen name Martin Ross) were Anglo-Irish writers, most famous for Some Experiences of an Irish R. M. (1899) and Further Experiences of an Irish R.M. (1908). These were later adapted for a television series in the 1980s.

    Great-Uncle McCarthy is the first story in the former collection. It follows the life of Major Yeates, who accepts the position of a resident magistrate in Ireland. Upon arriving, he discovers his new home may be haunted. My reading is an extract taken from that chapter.

    Somerville and Ross wrote other works, including the novel The Real Charlotte (1894). After the death of Ross in 1915, Somerville continued to write and publish stories under their joint names, claiming they kept in contact through spiritualist seances.

    Violet died in County Cork in 1915. Edith died at Castletownshend in 1949 and is buried alongside her literary partner and companion at Saint Barrahane's Church.
