Lady Gregory's Toothbrush

Colm Tóibín's biographical essay on Lady Gregory is a deft and surprising portrait of a woman who held together the Abbey Theatre through riot and revolution. Tóibín explores the contradictions in her life - unionist yet anticolonial, aristocratic yet devoted to the peasantry - with the sharp sympathy that marks his best work. This is a compact, essential read for anyone interested in the tangled roots of Irish cultural history.
