"Isabella Augusta, Lady Gregory (née Persse; 15 March 1852 – 22 May 1932), was a key figure in the Irish Literary Revival, a dramatist, folklorist, and co-founder of the Irish Literary Theatre and the Abbey Theatre. Her works, spanning plays and retellings of Irish myths, played a vital role in preserving and celebrating Ireland’s cultural heritage.Born into an Anglo-Irish family aligned with British rule, Lady Gregory underwent a profound transformation, embracing Irish cultural nationalism. Her shift mirrored Ireland’s own political struggles, and her collaborations with writers like W.B. Yeats shaped the identity of Irish theatre. As a writer, mentor, and theatre manager, her legacy endures as a cornerstone of Ireland’s literary renaissance."— Wikipedia.
