George William Russell (1867-1935) Irish poet, theosophist and mystic painter. The author's first collected poems which succeeded in establishing him as a part of the Irish Literary Revival alongside the likes of W. B. Yeats and Joyce; indeed Russell appears as a character in 'Ulysses' dismissing the protagonists theories on Shakespeare.

Dame Agnes Jekyll (1861-1937) British artist, writer and philanthropist. Perhaps best known as a patron of the Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood.
