	Lady Gregory
		Lady Augusta Gregory was born at Roxborough, County Galway, Ireland, in 1859.
		Lady Gregory excels in the one-act form; in her longer plays, like The Image, she lacks the necessary skill in the construction of a moving and interesting story.
		Of mystic and tragic beauty Lady Gregory is more sparing, but The Traveling Man and The Gaol Gate, the latter in particular, are noble bits of pathos, well written in stately and rhythmical prose.

	A DEVOTED LADY
		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.
		Lady Gregory had not experienced the love of family as a child or as a wife, and thereafter she sought the feeling in friendship.
		Lady Gregory wrote the tragedies as more playwrights came to the Abbey and she saw an opportunity and need for expansion.

		Lady Gregory’s early writing is represented by an essay on Egypt, and the editing of Sir William’s autobiography and his grandfather’s letters.
		Time spent among the native Irish shone through Lady Gregory’s dramatic works in the integrity of the dialogue, the worldview of many of her characters, and in the plausibility of some seemingly implausible plots.

	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.

	Lady Gregory's Toothbrush - Reviewed by Ann Skea - Eclectica Magazine v8n1
		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.

	Lady Gregory - Irish Literary Revival
		After the death of her elderly husband, Sir William, in 1891, Lady Gregory began her transformation into one of the nation's cultural champions.
		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.

	Lady Gregory
		Lady Gregory obviously sought out their company, as the heirs to a great inheritance—an inheritance of imaginative and humorous speech.
		Lady Gregory, whom it would be unfair to praise as a great writer, has ;at least qualified as one by inventing a new language out of her knowledge of Irish peasant speech.
		The second volume of the Irish Folk-History Plays, even if it reveals only Lady Gregory's talent rather than her genius, is full of odd and entertaining things, and the notes at the end of both of these volumes, short though' they are, do give us the franchise of a wonderful world of folk-history.

	Literary Encyclopedia: Augusta, Lady Gregory
		Lady Augusta Gregory was one of the most revered and prominent figures of the Irish Literary Renaissance.
		Gregory served as a managing director for the Abbey through its first twenty years of existence, and in her literary work, she helped to craft the political and aesthetic philosophy through which the Abbey sought to create a positive and vibrant Irish cultural identity in the years just before and after Ireland gained its independence.
		Gregory’s literary career did not begin in earnest, though, until after her husband’s death in 1892.

	Literary Encyclopedia: The Rising of the Moon
		Lady Gregory’s The Rising of the Moon was first produced by the Irish National Theatre on March 9, 1907.
		The reception of Synge’s and Gregory’s plays highlights the fact that, in 1907, the Irish National Theatre essentially served two audiences: a nationalist audience who cheered any attack on British authority but were sensitive to any criticism of the Irish people, and an Anglo-Irish audience whose sensibilities were almost precisely the reverse.
		Gregory had expressed a similar sentiment a few years earlier in Kathleen ni Houlihan, a play she co-wrote with W. Yeats, but the political implications of that play were diffused by its historical setting.

	Coole Lady review
		Lady Gregory is chiefly remembered as the engine behind the founding of Ireland’s national dramatic venue, The Abbey Theatre in Dublin.
		Coole Lady is not a nostalgic monologue, nor a sentimental memory play, but rather a play which reminds us of the big achievements of Lady Augusta Gregory and, perhaps more important, introduces us to the character of the woman behind those achievements.
		A principal US repository of Lady Gregory’s papers is The Berg Collection, New York Public Library, The Research Facility, Fifth Avenue at 42nd St., New York City.

	RTÉ.ie Entertainment: Lady Gregory: An Irish Life by Judith Hill
		Although she was co-founder of the Abbey Theatre and, together with Yeats, Synge and O'Casey, a key figure in the Irish Literary Revival during the early years of the twentieth century, her reputation has remained very much in the shadows.
		Born to a Galway landowner in mid-nineteenth century Ireland, and landowner herself at Coole Park, Lady Gregory, despite her Anglo-Irish identity, gradually became a nationalist.
		Much of what she collected was used in the plays that she wrote for the Abbey and these plays defined the identity of the theatre, kept audiences coming back for more - and kept it solvent.
