The first book by the Irish writing duo of Somerville and Ross, An Irish Cousin was initially intended as a sensational, Gothic novel, but underwent a transformation after Edith visited an aunt and was struck by the impoverishment of her once-landed gentry relative. The decline in the class of Irish who owned land became the theme of the novel.
