'Lady Gregory. An Irish Life' - Judith Hill

Sutton Publishing 2005, hardcover, 420pp. Former library usual markings, stamps, stickers, pen marks inside blank rear cover but otherwise reasonable condition.

'Lady Gregory, founder of Dublin's Abbey Theatre, close friend, collaborator and patron of W. B. Yeats, author of numerous essays, plays and translations of Irish legends, was the daughter of a Galway landowner and never expected to make her mark on the literature or land of her birth. Yet she became a key figure in the Irish Revival. In this new biography Judith Hill investigates Augusta Gregory's many varied relationships, explores the contradictions and achievements of her life, and, for the first time, brings her out from the shadow of Yeats to stand alone.'
