| dc.description.abstract | When Lady Augusta Gregory (1852-1932) effected her famous mid-life self-reinvention from Anglo-Irish landlady to revivalist dramatist, healing women from her locality provided significant guides and models for her new life and work. This article will discuss what Gregory learned from the lore of a local healer, the shadowy Bridget Ruane (who died c.1899). It will analyse how Gregory worked Ruane’s folk medical knowledge into her prose writings and plays, including The Pot of Broth (1904). In restoring the name of this non-elite woman from the west of Ireland, this article suggests the benefits of casting the net more widely for names to stand alongside Gregory’s as creators of Revival-era culture. | en |
| dc.description.abstract | Cuando Lady Augusta Gregory (1852-1932) efectuó su famosa auto-reinvención de casera anglo-irlandesa de mediana edad a dramaturga revivalista, las mujeres sanadoras de su localidad le proporcionaron guías y modelos significativos para su nueva vida y obra. Este artículo discutirá lo que Gregory aprendió de la tradición de una sanadora local, la oscura Bridget Ruane (que murió c.1899). Analizará cómo Gregory incorporó el conocimiento médico popular de Ruane a sus escritos en prosa y obras de teatro, incluida The Pot of Broth (1904). Al restaurar el nombre de esta mujer que no pertenecía a la élite del oeste de Irlanda, este artículo sugiere los beneficios de lanzar una red más amplia para que haya nombres se ubiquen junto al de Gregory como creadores de la cultura de la era del Renacimiento. | es |
