Lady Augusta Gregory, born Isabella Augusta Persse (18521932), was a pivotal figure in the Irish Literary Revival and a co-founder of the renowned Abbey Theatre, Dublin. Her literary career, rich with contributions to both the dramatic and folkloric traditions, bore witness to her deep immersion in the cultural and literary life of Ireland (Kohfeldt, 1985). Her collaboration with eminent figures like W.B. Yeats and Edward Martyn underlined her significant role in the resurgence of Irish cultural identity. A prolific playwright and folklorist, Lady Gregory is perhaps best known for her compilations of Irish myths and legends, cementing her reputation as a preserver of Irish folklore for posterity (Gregory, 1902). Her literary style often encompassed the use of Hiberno-English, a dialect which she championed as a valid medium for Irish literature, capturing the authentic voice of the Irish peasantry. In her dramatic work, 'Three Last Plays,' Lady Gregory explores themes of love, duty, and sacrifice, with an eye to both the mystical and the everyday aspects of Irish life. This collection, and indeed much of her oeuvre, reflects a deep sense of national identity, interwoven with the threads of myth and folk tradition that constitute the rich tapestry of Irish storytelling (Gregory, 1928).
