Abstract
Augusta Gregory used her power in the domestic sphere as a mechanism for effecting change in the public sphere. Her career as a writer was forged by her creative responses to her private life: marriage at the age of twenty-eight to William Gregory; an important love affair with Wilfred Scawen Blunt; the freedom and responsibility that came with being widowed at just thirty-nine years of age. Recently, with a focus on Gregory’s relationships with Sir William, Blunt and Gregory’s protégé, W. B. Yeats, Lucy McDiarmid shows how, ‘surrounded by men and pleasing them, Lady Gregory created a public voice for herself and entered the world of professional authorship’.
