Note
Rosa Mulholland (1841-1921), was born in Belfast and wrote over 40 novels, both for adults and children, as well as poetry, writing sometimes under the pseudonym, “Ruth Murray”. Mulholland studied at the South Kensington School of Art in London, initially intending to be an artist. Charles Dickens encouraged her writing and published her stories in his Household Works and All the Year Round. John Millais also expressed interest in her work and illustrated some of her poetry. W.B. Yeats included her story “The Hungry Death”, a story about the Irish famine, in his collection Representative Irish Tales (1891) and described her as “the novelist of contemporary Catholic Ireland.” Mulholland also influenced Katharine Tynan, who dedicated Ballads and Lyrics (1891) to her. She published extensively in The Irish Monthly. She married John Gilbert (1829-98), an historian and secretary of the Public Record Office of Ireland. He was knighted in 1897, and after his death she wrote his biography, Life of Sir John T. Gilbert (1907). Her sister, Clara Mulholland, also wrote children’s books and her sister Ellen married Lord Charles Russell, who was Lord Chief Justice of England and brother of the editor of The Irish Monthly, Matthew Russell SJ.
