    A brief biography of Lord Dunsany, chessplayer, author, lecturer and playwright  
    http://www.ourcivilisation.com/smartboard/shop/dunsany/about.htm
    
    Extractions: Edward John Moreton Drax Plunkett, was born in London on the 24th of July 1878. His father, John William (1853-1899) was a scholar, sportsman and keen mechanical engineer (he installed the first Irish telephone system and developed his own x-ray machine). His mother, who married John William in 1877, was a cousin, Ernle Grosvenor, descended from James Drax of Barbados and related to the famous Richard Burton. Edward had one brother, Reginald, who became a renowned Admiral, inherited his mother's estate and changed his name to Drax in later life. The 16th Lord, Edward, also an Admiral, left all of his property except Dunsany Castle, directly to his namesake grandchild. Edward, Eddy to his father and later Eddie to his immediate circle, grew up at the family property in Shoreham, Kent, Dunstall Priory, and at Dunsany. He went to school at Cheam and Eton and entered Sandhurst in 1896. He inherited the title in 1899, fought in the Boer War (Coldstream Guards) and returned to Dunsany in 1901. Taking after his mother, who was nearly 6' tall, Edward was a lean 6'4" and considered rather handsome. He was also a keen marksman and a fine player of cricket (Dunsany had a fine cricket ground), tennis (there is a court beside the Castle) and chess (he was an amateur champion and drew with Grand Master Capablanca; he also wrote chess puzzles for the Times and invented his own variant form of chess). In 1903, Lord Dunsany met Beatrice Child-Villiers, daughter of the Earl of Jersey; they were married in 1904 and remained devoted to each other for the rest of their lives. Another of the Jersey daughters married into the Pakenham family, Earls of Longford, and there was much contact between the families; Edward used to make items such as decorative seals for his younger relatives.

    Extractions: And little he knew of the things that ink may do, how it can mark a dead man's thoughts for the wonder of later years, and tell of happenings that are gone clean away, and be a voice for us out of the dark of time, and save many a fragile thing from the pounding of heavy ages; or carry to us, over the rolling centuries, even a song from lips long dead on forgotten hills." Lord Dunsany A complex and fascinating character, and an important contributor to literature, Lord Dunsany was a versatile and creative writer, with works including fantasy, drama, poetry, science fiction, prose, autobiography ... He was familiar with many other key Irish literary figures (W.B. Yeats issued a "Selection from the Writings of Lord Dunsany") and was also, among other things, a champion at chess (Irish national champion, holding Capablanca to a draw and inventing his own variety of the game) and shooting, an artist (drawings and figurines) and a keen hunter. He once ran for public office, and was thought by some of his peers to be a little eccentric but he was a devoted family man and heir to a great old family tradition with a keen sense of heritage and duty. Property in his care included Dunsany Castle (Ireland's oldest remaining family home, begun c. 1180 and seen by the family as part of the national heritage, to be maintained despite the many challenges which saw so many fine old buildings abandoned across Ireland and the U.K. in Lord Dunsany's lifetime), and its Estate, Dunstall Priory and Ivy Cottage in Shoreham, Kent, and Trim Castle, Ireland's largest castle (now in the care of the State and open to visit).

Educated at Eton and Sandhurst, Dunsany served in the South African War and World War I. His first book of short stories was The Gods of Pegana (1905); his first play, The Glittering Gate, was produced by the Abbey Theatre in Dublin in 1909; and his first London production, The Gods of the Mountain, at the Haymarket Theatre in 1911. As in his more than 50 subsequent verse plays, novels, short stories and memoirs, in these works Dunsany explored in a richly coloured prose mysterious kingdoms of fairies and gods; he also introduced a characteristic element of the macabre.

    Extractions: Dunsany, Edward John Moreton Drax Plunkett 18th Baron (1878-1957) The ornate fantasy of Lord Dunsany (otherwise known as Edward John Moreton Drax Plunkett; he was the eighteenth Baron Dunsany) was the product of a writing career of astonishing longevity, extending from the first decade of this century through 1948; he died in 1957. His literary works are highly poetic and imaginative. They began in 1905 with the mythological novel The Gods of Pegana. At Yeats's invitation he wrote many plays for the Abbey Theatre, including The Glittering Gate (1909) and The Laughter of the Gods (1919). His verse is contained in Fifty Poems (1930) and Mirage Water (1939). He also wrote an autobiographical series: Patches of Sunlight (1938), While the Sirens Slept (1944), The Sirens Wake (1945) and To Awaken Pegasus (1949). He achieved enormous popularity with his stories, novels, and plays (he was also an accomplished dramatist, perhaps the only major one in the literature of fantasy); this bejeweled style was of a piece with all the exotica of the East being discovered by the pre-World War I Intellectuals through the Ballets Russes and the ever-growing importing of art and ideas from India and the Moslem world. There are innumerable short stories, all the very essence of concise elegance. Typical are "The Hoard of the Gibbelins," in which it is told how the Gibbelins, who eat, "as is well known, nothing less good than man," protected their hoard of wealth from an epitomal Hero (and oh, what a devestating last sentence that story has!), and "The Distressing Tale of Thangobrind the Jeweller, and the Doom Than Befell Him" (whose title alone should intrigue), the hero of which has an encounter with Hlo-hlo, the spider idol.
