Bester Preis: € 4,99 (vom 28.12.2023)Lady Gregory's Toothbrush
ISBN: 9781901866674 bzw. 190186667X, in Englisch, The Lilliput Press, neu, E-Book.
Biography & Autobiography, `It is the battle between those who use a toothbrush and those who don’t.’ So wrote Augusta Gregory to W.B. Yeats; she was referring to the riots at the Abbey Theatre over The Playboy of the Western World, and she knew which side she was on. In this remarkable biographical essay, Colm Toíbín examines the contradictions that defined the position of this essential figure in Irish cultural history, The wife of a landlord and MP who had been personally responsible for introducing measures that compounded the misery of the Irish peasantry during the Great Famine, Lady Gregory devoted much of her creative energy to idealizing the same peasantry – while never abandoning the aristocratic hauteur, the social connections or the great house which her birth and marriage had bequeathed her. Early in her writing life, her politics were staunchly unionist – yet she campaigned for the freedom of Egypt from colonial rule. Later she wrote plays celebrating rebellion, but trembled in her bed when the Irish revolution threatened her property and her way of life. Lady Gregory’s capacity to occupy mutually contradictory positions was essential to her heroic work as a founder and director of the Abbey Theatre – nurturing Synge and O’Casey, battling rioters and censors – and to her central role in the career of W. B. Yeats. She was Yeats’s artistic collaborator (writing most of Cathleen Ní Houlihan, for example), his helpmeet, and his diplomatic wing. Toíbín’s account of Yeats’s attemts – by turns glorious and graceless – to memorize Lady Gregory’s son Robert when he was killed in the First World War, and of Lady Gregory’s pain at her loss and at the poet’s appropriation of it, is a moving tour de force of literary history. Toíbín also reveals a side of Lady Gregory that is at odds with the received image of a chilly dowager. Early in her marriage to Sir William Gregory, she had an affain with the poet and anti-imperialist Wilfred Scawen Blunt and wrote a series of torrid love sonnets that Blunt published under his own name. Much later in life, as she neared her sixtieth birthday, she fell in love with the great patron of arts John Quinn, who was eighteen years her junior. Lady Gregory’s Toothbrush is a sharp, concentrated, witty and much-needed reassessment of a major cultural figure who has been oddly taken for granted and often badly misunderstood. eBook.

In May of 1844, the Vermont educator, reformer, and social worker Asenath Nicholson set out from New York on a fifteen-month visit to Ireland determined to ""investigate the condition of the Irish poor."" On the eve of the Great Famine, she traveled on foot with her polka coat, velvet bonnet, and black bearskin muff through the west and southwest singing hymns and reading the Bible to the local people and sharing their hospitality. Nicholson describes a rural people struggling with poverty and chronic unemployment who received their American visitor with generosity and kindness. Her account is a unique and compelling glimpse into Ireland just before the catastrophe of the famine, which she later described in a similarly powerful narrative, Annals of the Great Famine.
