Catalogue Note
Dramatist, folklorist and co-founder of the Abbey Theatre with W. B. Yeats, Lady Gregory played a central role in the Irish Literary Revival of the early 20th century. Her residence, Coole Park, became a meeting place where the leading lights of the movement would draw inspiration from one another. Through his brother W.B. Yeats, Jack also visited regularly.
