Lady Gregory

Isabella Augusta, Lady Gregory (Roxborough, Condado de Galway, 15 de marzo de 1852 – Coole Park, Condado de Galway, 22 de mayo de 1932), de soltera Isabella Augusta Persse, fue una dramaturga anglo-irlandesa y recopiladora de folclore. Con William Butler Yeats y otros, fundó el Teatro Literario irlandés y el Abbey Theatre, y escribió numerosas obras breves para ambas compañías. También produjo numerosos libros con versiones de las historias clásicas de la mitología irlandesa. Nacida en una clase que se identificaba profundamente con el gobierno británico, su conversión al nacionalismo cultural, tal como se evidencia en estos escritos, resulta emblemática de los cambios que ocurrieron en Irlanda durante su vida.

Sin embargo, Lady Gregory es recordada sobre todo como organizadora y una fuerza impulsadora del Renacimiento literario irlandés. Su casa en Coole Park, Condado de Galway sirvió como un punto de encuentro destacado para las figuras principales y su trabajo temprano como miembro de la dirección del Abbey fue al menos tan importante para el desarrollo del teatro como sus escritos creativos. Su lema, tomado de Aristóteles, fue "Pensar como un hombre sabio, pero expresarse como la gente corriente."
