Excerpt:Lady Gregory pictured on the frontispiece to "Our Irish Theatre: A Chapter of Autobiography" (1913) Isabella Augusta, Lady Gregory (15 March 1852 22 May 1932), born Isabella Augusta Persse , was an Irish dramatist and folklorist . With William Butler Yeats and others, 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, 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 , 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 for the theatre's development as her creative writings. Lady Gregory's motto was taken from Aristotle : "To think like a wise man, but to express oneself like the common people." Early life and marriage Lady Gregory was born the youngest daughter of the Anglo-Irish landlord family Persse in Roxborough , County Galway . Her mother, Frances Barry, was related to Standish Hayes O'Grady, 1st Viscount Guillamore , and her family home, Roxborough, was a 6,000-acre (24 km²) estate, the big house of which was later burnt down during the Irish Civil War . She was educated at home, and her future career was strongly influenced by the family nurse (i.e. n... ... Read more

From the Publisher
"In most cases, illustration defers to the narrative flow of the story it accompanies, but Richard Doyle (English, 1824-1883) was more concerned with establishing a magical atmosphere in his paintings. Imagination unfettered, he created lustrous, colorful, and highly detailed worlds for his large cast of fairies, elves, and animals to inhabit. Twenty-four fine Doyle illustrations from the 1870 book In Fairyland, accompanied by Doyle's idiosyncratic captions, adorn this calendar, along with captivating quotations concerning fairies.¶ 13 x 12" wall calendar (opens to 13 x 24") with twelve full-color reproductions.

Excerpt: Patrick Swift (192783) Artist born in Dublin, Ireland Patrick Swift was a painter and key cultural figure in both Dublin and London before moving to the Algarve in southern Portugal, where he is buried in the town of Porches. In Dublin he was part of the McDaid's pub circle of artistic and literary figures that included Patrick Kavanagh, Anthony Cronin, Brendan Behan, et al. He later moved to London where he became an integral member of the Soho set that included Francis Bacon, George Barker, Elizabeth Smart, et al. In London he founded and co-edited - with the poet David Wright the magazine X which Swift used to promote artists such as Francis Bacon, Alberto Giacometti, Lucian Freud, Frank Auerbach, Craigie Atchison and David Bomberg (whose posthumous papers Swift edited). In Portugal he continued painting while also writing and illustrating books on Portugal and founding (with the Portuguese artist Lima de Freitas) Porches Pottery which revived what was a dying industry. During his career Swift only held two solo exhibitions: Dublin in 1952 and Lisbon in 1974. His first exhibition at the Waddington Gallery in 1952 was highly acclaimed. However, he appears to have had very little interest in showing his work. His friend, David Wright, has recalled finding him actively hiding his work because he was expecting a millionaire art collector to visit. This aversion to publicity means that, even while he was at the heart of artistic activity in London and Dublin, there...More: http://booksllc.net/?id=25243094 ... Read more
