Lady (Sydney) Morgan, de soltera Owenson, fue una novelista irlandesa y una de las figuras literarias más vívidas y comentadas de su generación. Inició su carrera con un volumen precoz de poemas y una colección de melodías irlandesas para las que compuso letras, marcando una tendencia que Thomas Moore adoptó con gran éxito. Su novela "St. Clair" (1804), que abordaba el matrimonio mal avenido, el amor desdichado y el culto apasionado a la naturaleza, con una clara influencia de Goethe y Rousseau, atrajo inmediatamente la atención. La obra de Morgan se caracteriza por su estilo apasionado y la exploración de intensas experiencias emocionales.
