A propos du livre

À propos de l?auteur

George William Russell was born on April 10, 1867, in Lurgan, United Kingdom. He was an Irish writer, poet, painter, editor, and critic, deeply involved in the Irish nationalist movement. Russell was also an active figure in mysticism, contributing significantly to theosophy and its Dublin-based circle. His work often reflected his interests in spirituality and national identity, influencing both literature and political thought in Ireland. He married Violet Russell in 1898, and their marriage lasted until his wife's death in 1932. Russell passed away on July 17, 1935, at the age of 68 in Bournemouth, United Kingdom. He was buried at Mount Jerome in Dublin, Ireland. Russell was widely recognized for his multifaceted contributions to the arts and intellectual life, and he gained the affectionate nicknames "Strayed angel" and "The hairy fairy" due to his eccentric personality and his role as a guiding figure in the artistic and nationalist communities.
