Írska spisovateľka Lady (Sydney) Morgan, rodená Owensonová, bola jednou z najvýraznejších a najdiskutovanejších literárnych postáv svojej generácie. Svoju kariéru začala predčasným zväzkom básní a zbierkou írskych melódií, pre ktoré zložila slová a tak udávala módu, ktorú s úspechom prevzal Thomas Moore. Jej román "St. Clair" (1804), opisujúci neuvážené manželstvo, nešťastnú lásku a vášnivé uctievanie prírody, s jasným vplyvom Johanna Wolfganga von Goetheho a Jeana-Jacquesa Rousseaua, okamžite vzbudil pozornosť. Morganová bola známa svojim vášnivým štýlom a zobrazením silných emócií.
