(es) Eleanor Lucy Hoult, known by her pen name as Norah Hoult (10 September 1898 – 6 April 1984) was an Irish writer of novels and short stories. A prolific writer, Hoult wrote twenty-three novels and four short story collections. Her work deals primarily with themes of alcohol abuse, prostitution, class dynamics and ill-fated marriages. Between the 1940s and 50s, Hoult's work was frequently banned by the Irish Censorship Board. Hoult was born in Dublin. Her mother, Margaret O'Shaughnessy, was a Catholic who eloped at the age of 21 with a Protestant English architect named Powis Hoult. Owing to her parents' death, Hoult and her brother were sent to live with their father's relations in England and were educated in various boarding schools in the North of England. Hoult's mother died when she was nine years old and her father died only months later. Hoult began her career in journalism, working for British newspapers. She worked first for the Sheffield Daily Telegraph, followed by the Telegraph and Pearson's Magazine. Her first book, , appeared in 1928. This collection of five short stories received critical praise, and has been reprinted several times, both individually and in selected editions. It was followed by a novel, (1930), which deals with a woman's unhappy marriage to an alcoholic. This novel exemplifies Hoult's interest in depicting the strain of social constrains and maintaining respectability in Ireland during the 1930s and 1950s. Hoult married the writer Oliver Stonor, and lived with him at The Cottage in Windsor Great Park for a year; the marriage was dissolved in 1934. She returned to Ireland to collect material for her writing in 1931, and remained there until 1937, when she moved to New York for two years. Her next two books, (1935) and its sequel (1937), show Irish family life before World War I. Fellow Irish writer, Seán Ó Faoláin, wrote to Hoult in 1936 to congratulate her on . O'Faolain wrote that he 'admire[d] the strength of it [...] and the sympathy of it'. Contemporary critics are similarly complimentary about her work, comparing her not only to short story writers such as O'Faolain and Frank O'Connor but also to novelists including Kate O'Brien and Edna O'Brien for the way in which her work examines the influence of the Catholic Church on the quotidian lives of Irish women. In 1939 she settled in Bayswater, London, not far from Violet Hunt upon whom Claire Temple the protagonist in (1944) is modelled. The novel is set in London during the Second World War in which the trauma of the Blitz impacts upon Claire Temple, a novelist suffering with dementia. In 1957 she returned to live in Ireland. In 1977 she published her last book. She died at Jonquil Cottage, Greystones, County Wicklow, on April 6, 1984. Hoult was a friend of many notable Irish figures including Republican James Stephens and poet and medic Oliver St. John Gogarty. Hoult was also friends with the Scottish writer Fred Urquhart and some of their correspondence is preserved in his archive. Despite a 44 year publishing career, critics have described Hoult's work as "overlooked" and "neglected". Nicola Beauman is quoted as saying Hoult "is a very good example of a woman writer who falls completely out of fashion and is forgotten. She was an absolutely brilliant writer and well-known at the time in a way she isn't now". Beauman, editor at London's Persephone Books, has revisited Hoult's work since her death. In 2005 Persephone Books republished her novel . The aim of Persephone books is to shed light on women writers who have been overlooked in the Irish literary canon. (en) |
