Julia Kavanagh
Julia Kavanagh (7 January 1824 – 28 October 1877) was an Irish novelist, born at Thurles in Tipperary, Ireland.
==Biography==
She was the daughter of Morgan Kavanagh (died 1874), author of various philological works and some poems. Julia spent several years of her early life with her parents in Paris, laying there the foundation of a mastery of the French language and insight into French modes of thought, which was perfected by her later frequent and long residences in France.
Kavanagh's literary career began after the move of her and her mother to London in about 1844, after separating from her father in France.〔John Sutherland. “Kavanagh” in ''Companion to Victorian Literature''. Stanford University Press, 1989.〕 Thereafter she supported herself and her invalid mother, Bridget (a lifelong companion), with her writing career.〔 Her first book was ''Three Paths'' (1847), a story for the young; but her first work to attract notice was ''Madeleine, a Tale of Auvergne'' (1848), a story of “heroic charity and living faith founded on fact.”〔
Julia and her mother were again living in Paris from the early 1860s, but moved to Rouen and then to Nice on the outbreak of the Franco-Prussian War. Julia died in Nice in 1877, unmarried and a devout Catholic. Her last words, in French, were: “Oh Mama! how silly I am to have fallen.”.〔C.W. Wood, Preface in: Julia Kavanagh, Forget-Me-Knots, London, Richard Bentley & Son, 1878〕 Bridget continued to live in Nice until her death in 1888. In 1884 she donated a painting of Julia by Henri Chanet to the National Gallery of Ireland.〔National Gallery of Ireland, Illustrated Summary Catalogue of Paintings, item 312, Dublin, 1981〕〔Eileen Fauset, The politics of writing: Julia Kavanagh, 1824-77, Manchester University Press, 2009〕
