Henry Stratford Persse
Henry Stratford Persse (1769–1833) was an Irish writer. Persse was a younger son of the Persse family of Roxborough, and of the same family as Lady Gregory. Because he inherited not wealth or land estate, he was a Landwaiter of the Customs House in Galway for about twenty years before his death in 1833. He was married to Anne Sadleir and had twenty-two children. Ten of these survived infancy. Of these, Richard, Dudley and Theophilus were sent by their father to America in 1821 with various siblings following after.

Augusta, Lady Gregory
Isabella Augusta, Lady Gregory (''née'' Persse; 15 March 1852 – 22 May 1932) was an Irish dramatist, folklorist and theatre manager. With William Butler Yeats and Edward Martyn, she co-founded the Irish Literary Theatre and the Abbey Theatre, and wrote numerous short works for both companies. Lady Gregory produced a number of books of retellings of stories taken from Irish mythology. Born into a class that identified closely with British rule, she turned against it. Her conversion to cultural nationalism, as evidenced by her writings, was emblematic of many of the political struggles to occur in Ireland during her lifetime. Lady Gregory is mainly remembered for her work behind the Irish Literary Revival. Her home at Coole Park in County Galway served as an important meeting place for leading Revival figures, and her early work as a member of the board of the Abbey was at least as important as her creative writings for that theatre's development. Lady Gregory's motto was taken ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
