In the great house of Coole Park, Co. Galway, Ireland, Lady Augusta Gregory played host and patron to playwright W.B.Yeats, J.M. Synge and others who formed the Irish Literary Renaissance and created It seems fitting that the venerable Lady should again come to the rescue of a literature festival in her closest town, Gort, Co. Galway. A painting of Lady Augusta Gregory has been presented by writer Rosemarie Rowley to Galway's Western Writers' Centre - Ionad Scríbhneoirí Chaitlín Maude - to be auctioned or sold off to support the forthcoming 'Forge at Gort Literature Festival,' planned for the end of March. The popular literature festival, now in its fourth year, has been refused funding by The Arts Council. Several Irish writers have already contributed financial sponsorship to keep the festival going. |
