	Lady Gregory - Irish Literary Revival
		Isabelle Augusta Gregory is easily the best known literary figure to have been born and raised in Galway.
		It was at the young age of 50 that she first mastered the Irish language, a development that would be critical for her many prodigious contributions to the Gaelic League and other efforts to strengthen nationalism through the public appreciation of Irish literature and speech.
		Because of Lady Gregory's prominent position in the revival, her home at Coole Park in Galway became a second home for the writers of this Irish Renaissance.

		The fading of Augusta Gregory's reputation is in part a consequence of her devotion to the sometimes overbearing Yeats, who included her in his great aristocratic fantasy, glorifying her as a presiding genius of the Irish literary renaissance.
		Augusta Gregory, née Persse, was born in 1852, 13 years before Yeats, and brought up in the grand family house at Roxborough to be unquestionably Protestant, "with much Bible reading and devotion to duty".
		Augusta Gregory, who was later to cast off the remnants of her loyalty to the Crown, first played her part in the Irish Renaissance as a collector of folk-tales.

		And it was another success for Augusta Gregory and W.B. Yeats in their fight against the censorship of Irish drama, and in their efforts to encourage Irish writing and establish Irish literature as a valuable part of the Irish culture.
		The paradox of this was that at a time when militant Irish Nationalists were attacking the landowning gentry, Lady Gregory was both a nationalist (in her passionate love of Ireland and her literary work) and a landowner who spent a great deal of her time in England.
		But at the age of twenty-seven, she accepted the proposal of Sir William Gregory, a widower, thirty-five years older than herself, who had been a parliamentarian and Governor of Ceylon and who was, at the time of their marriage, a trustee of the National Gallery in London.

		She remembers her marriage in 1880 to Sir William Gregory of Coole Park, Galway, a favorite of Queen Victoria and a Governor of Ceylon (a man some 35 years her senior and a widower).

		Lady Gregory spent much of her life trying to shed the comforts of her birth, forgetting the leisure possible, and working to lose the conventions of her class.
		It was this time spent with tenants that she continued to learn of the dialect, "thoughts, beliefs and customs of the West of Ireland." (Malone, 40) The stories made her happy to remember her childhood in the nursery with her nurse, listening to stories; and it played to her historical passions.
		Lady Gregory had not experienced the love of family as a child or as a wife, and thereafter she sought the feeling in friendship.

	UW Press - : Lady Gregory's Toothbrush
		Yet, Lady Gregory devoted much of her creative energy to idealizing that same peasantry, while never abandoning the aristocratic hauteur, the social connections, or the great house that her birth and marriage had bequeathed to her.
		Lady Gregory's capacity to occupy mutually contradictory positions was essential to her heroic work as a founder and director of the Abbey Theatre in Dublin—nurturing Synge and O'Casey, her battles with rioters and censors, and to her central role in the career of W. Yeats.
		Tóibín's account of Yeats's attempts—by turns glorious and graceless—to memorialize Lady Gregory's son Robert when he was killed in the First World War, and of Lady Gregory's pain at her loss and at the poet's appropriation of it, is a moving tour de force of literary history.
