Description

"The Kiltartan History Book" was written as a historical masterpiece by Lady Gregory, an Irish playwright, folklorist, and literary icon. With an eye-catching new cover and a beautifully typeset copy, this version of THE KILTARTAN HISTORY BOOK is both modern and legible. The story is full of unexpected twists and turns that will keep the reader engaged. Some narratives are violent and strange, whereas others creep up on you and slowly bother you in. Readers are compelled to keep reading because the title character is so self-indulgent. Lady Gregory's work, noted for its painstaking research and enthralling storytelling, contributes significantly to Irish history and literature. The literary work sheds light on many aspects of Kiltartan's past, including its cultural legacy, social traditions, and historical events. Lady Gregory weaves a lovely tapestry of the region's past using her deep knowledge of Irish folklore and oral traditions.

Author Biography:

Isabella Augusta, Lady Gregory (March 15, 1852 - May 22, 1932) was an Irish dramatist, folklorist, and theater manager. She co-founded the Irish Literary Theatre and the Abbey Theatre with William Butler Yeats and Edward Martyn, and authored numerous short plays for both companies. Lady Gregory wrote a number of works that were retellings of stories from Irish mythology. She was born into a class that identified strongly with British rule, yet she rebelled against it. Her conversion to cultural nationalism, as indicated by her works, was symbolic of many of Ireland's political conflicts during her lifetime. Lady Gregory is most known for her contributions to the Irish Literary Revival. Her home at Coole Park in County Galway served as an essential gathering location for key Revival leaders, and her early work as a member of the Abbey's board was at least as vital for the growth of that theatre as her creative writings. Aristotle inspired Lady Gregory's motto: "To think like a wise man, but express oneself like the common people."
