Lady Gregory 
Our Irish Theatre (Barnes & Noble Digital Library) 
A Chapter of Autobiography

Upon publication of this 1913 account of the Irish Literary Revival, the
New York Times called it ‘the record of an enthusiasm . . . almost like finding one’s self in a fairy tale.’  Yeats, Synge, and other luminaries of the Irish literary fundament appear in Lady Gregory’s detailed history.
