Julia Kavanagh was the daughter of Morgan Kavanagh (died 1874), author of various philological works and some poems. 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.
Julia Kavanagh's first book was Three Paths (1847), a story for the young. But her first work to attract notice was, 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.
Julia Kavanagh was a prolific contributor to periodical literature, and also wrote many biographical sketches. Her style is domestic, simple and pleasing, aimed at younger woman readers. Her most popular novels were perhaps Adele (1857), Queen Mab (1863), and John Dorrien (1875).
