Excerpt from Martha, Lady Giffard, Her Life and Correspondence (1664-1722): A Sequel to the Letters of Dorothy Osborne Miss Longe has been good enough to ask me to write a few words of preface to her "Letters of Martha, Lady Giffard." This I do the more willingly remembering the kindness of other members of her family to myself when I was preparing my editions of Dorothy Osborne's "Letters." It was as far back as 1886 that an article of mine, drawing a fancy portrait of Dorothy Osborne, taken from some extracts from her letters printed in an appendix to Courtenay's "Life of Temple," happened to fall into the hands of the late Mrs. S. R. Longe, who, with characteristic unselfishness, was pleased to write to me as "a fellow servant" of Dorothy Osborne, and place at my disposal the transcripts of the letters and the notes that she had made. It was from these transcripts that the volume I published in 1888 was printed. At that time it was not thought advisable by the experts of the publishing world to print all the letters; but when, in 1903, it became possible to make a more complete book it was through the courtesy of Miss Longe's father, Mr. Longe of Spixworth Park, that the Letters of Dorothy Osborne were at length published.

Women’s Life Writing and Early Modern Ireland provides an original perspective on both new and familiar texts in this first critical collection to focus on seventeenth-century women’s life writing in a specifically Irish context. By shifting the focus away from England—even though many of these writers would have identified themselves as English—and making Ireland and Irishness the focus of their essays, the contributors resituate women’s narratives in a powerful and revealing landscape. This volume addresses a range of genres, from letters to book marginalia, and a number of different women, from now-canonical life writers such as Mary Rich and Ann Fanshawe to far less familiar figures such as Eliza Blennerhassett and the correspondents and supplicants of William King, archbishop of Dublin. The writings of the Boyle sisters and the Duchess of Ormonde—women from the two most important families in seventeenth-century Ireland—also receive a thorough analysis. These innovative and nuanced scholarly considerations of the powerful influence of Ireland on these writers’ construction of self, provide fresh, illuminating insights into both their writing and their broader cultural context.
