Per Wikipedia, Isabella Augusta, Lady Gregory (Née Persse; 1852 - 1932) Was An Irish Dramatist, Folklorist And Theatre Manager. With William Butler Yeats And Edward Martyn, She Co-Founded The Irish Literary Theatre And The Abbey Theatre, And Wrote Numerous Short Works For Both Companies. Lady Gregory Produced A Number Of Books Of Retellings Of Stories Taken From Irish Mythology. Born Into A Class That Identified Closely With British Rule, She Turned Against It. Her Conversion To Cultural Nationalism, As Evidenced By Her Writings, Was Emblematic Of Many Of The Political Struggles To Occur In Ireland During Her Lifetime. Lady Gregory Is Mainly Remembered For Her Work Behind The Irish Literary Revival. Her Home At Coole Park In County Galway Served As An Important Meeting Place For Leading Revival Figures, And Her Early Work As A Member Of The Board Of The Abbey Was At Least As Important As Her Creative Writings For That Theatre's Development. Lady Gregory's Motto Was Taken From Aristotle: "To Think Like A Wise Man, But To Express Oneself Like The Common People."She Married Sir William Henry Gregory (-1892), A Widower With An Estate At Coole Park, Near Gort, On 4 March 1880 In St Matthias' Church, Dublin. Sir William, Who Was 35 Years Her Elder, Had Just Retired From His Position As Governor Of Ceylon (Now Sri Lanka), Having Previously Served Several Terms As Member Of Parliament For County Galway. He Was A Well-Educated Man With Many Literary And Artistic Interests, And The House At Coole Park Housed A Large Library And Extensive Art Collection, Both Of Which Lady Gregory Was Eager To Explore. He Also Had A House In London, Where The Couple Spent A Considerable Amount Of Time, Holding Weekly Salons Frequented By Many Leading Literary And Artistic Figures Of The Day, Including Robert Browning, Lord Tennyson, John Everett Millais And Henry James. Their Only Child, Robert Gregory, Was Born In 1881. He Was Killed During The First World War While Serving As A Pilot, An Event Which Inspired W. B. Yeats's Poems "An Irish Airman Foresees His Death", "In Memory Of Major Robert Gregory" And "Shepherd And Goatherd". The Gregorys Travelled In Ceylon, India, Spain, Italy And Egypt. While In Egypt, Lady Gregory Had An Affair With The English Poet Wilfrid Scawen Blunt, During Which She Wrote A Series Of Love Poems, A Woman's Sonnets.In 1904, Lady Gregory, Martyn, Yeats, John Millington Synge, Æ, Annie Horniman And William And Frank Fay Came Together To Form The Irish National Theatre Society. In November 2020 It Was Announced That Trinity College Dublin, Whose Library's Forty Busts Previously Represented Men Only Was Commissioning Four Additional Busts Of Women And That One Of Them Would Be A Bust Of Lady Gregory.
