Résumé
Considering herself as a « national novelist », Lady Morgan does not restrict herself to describing the effects of hunger, she offers a detailed description and analysis of the social and economic systems generating poverty and famines in nineteenth century Ireland. She attributes responsibilities and suggests remedies. Her style combines the lyrical and the technical and the novels at times become « fictions of fictions » in that literary composition is but a mask hardly hiding the author’s political purpose.
