Book Description
A farmer’s daughter, a convent girl, a lover of the Irish countryside, a poet, novelist and short story writer, a journalist, a friend of the English during war and peace, a fighter for justice, a Catholic, but able to see and decry the interference of religion in politics: this is in part Katharine Tynan Hinkson (1859–1931), usually known as Katharine Tynan, who lived in Ireland and England, and wrote through the turbulent times of Irish politics, suffrage, the Great War, and civil war in Ireland. Her background was rural Ireland, her father being a prosperous land-owning farmer. Educated locally and at a convent, she left aged fourteen and spent much time reading and enjoying the countryside, which became a foundation for her poetry and storytelling. She was aware of the politics of Ireland through her politically active father, and she joined the short-lived Ladies’ Land League in 1881 and was a fervent admirer of Charles Stewart Parnell. Her first major literary friendship was with her mentor, the Jesuit Father Matthew Russell, editor of the Irish Monthly, who published much of her work. He introduced Katharine to the Catholic literary couple Wilfrid and Alice Meynell in London in 1884, a visit which formed a deep love and admiration for Alice. The Meynells published much of her poetry in the Weekly Register and Merry England. Katharine made many visits to England and settled in England in 1893 after her marriage to Harry Hinkson, making it her home until returning to Ireland in 1912. After the Great War, she moved between England and Ireland, finally settling in London where she died. Katharine’s life spanned Anglo-Irish politics, the suffrage movement, the Easter Rising of 1916, the Great War (her two sons served in the British Army) and its aftermath. Her letters cover these events and the friendships and correspondence with many literary persons, including George William Russell (A.E.), G. K. Chesterton, Wilfrid Scawen Blunt, Clement King Shorter, the writer Frank James Mathew and the novelist May Sinclair. An early friend of W. B. Yeats, she was seen as part of the Irish literary revival, although in a minor role. Throughout her life she suffered from very poor eyesight. She published five autobiographies, which, together with the letters, provide us with valuable insight into her life and times.

Book Description
Thanking him for "...that pretty Tourgeneff; it was of all books the one I should have chosen. My friends usually think I prefer poetry to all else and as I gradually acquire all the good poets they are driven to giving me minor ones when I should so infinitely prefer good prose...In advance I must say how much I shall appreciate the cheap editions. I suppose they reprint Stevenson's things. These I should like to see sometime and Besant's newest novels, - all Stevenson roughly. I have an immense admiration for him;" adding "The Mayor of Kilkenny sent me his book some time ago, but I have never yet looked into it. I did not care very much for the Mayor and he committed the unpardonable offence of spelling my name with a C degrading my regal Katharine in a half-bourgeois, half-old-maidish Catharine. Mr. Yeats whose poetry you heard of is here now, has been here since November. He is going to bring out a volume of his poems by subscription. Will you be a subscriber and can you get any subscribers? The price will be 5/. There is a poem of mine in the New York Catholic World - do you know the magazine? - This month; perhaps you will see it. I have not set seen it, as they have not had sufficiently good manners to send me a copy. I am doing a good deal of prose at present, today I finished an article on Dublin for Oscar Wilde's Woman's World. There are also some articles of mine on Irish life coming out in The Magazine of Art; one has already appeared. I am going to send a poem to The Century. Mr Williams of the Providence Journal who was here in autumn, promised me an introduction to Mr. Gilder. An artist here who was asked at one time to submit his work to The Century thinks of illustrating the poem, which will be about the "Children of Lis." I have been pulling my room to pieces and will tell you about my alterations and additions in my next letter. Perhaps you will come across my friend Mr. Hodgson; if so say you are a friend of mine. He is at 5 Boylston Place, the office of the Psychical Society. My sisters are very indignant because you never mention them. Ask for them in your next without betraying that I told you to."
