Historical Notes

Samuel Lover (1797-1868) was an Anglo-Irish novelist, songwriter, and painter. Privately educated, Lover fled his father’s stockbroking office and became a successful painter, largely of portraits. He also wrote songs, notably “Rory O’More” (1826), which he also developed as a novel (1837) and a play (1837). His best known novel is Handy Andy (1842), often seen as one of the sources of the “stage Irishman,” a popular theatrical stereotype. After failing eyesight forced him to give up painting, he gave successful entertainments using his own writings in both Great Britain and North America. "Samuel Lover". Encyclopædia Britannica.
