Dunsany Lord Dunsany (1878-1957), Edward John Moreton Drax Plunkett 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).

8. Lord Dunsany—Edward John Moreton Drax Plunkett A brief biography of Lord dunsany, chessplayer, author, lecturer and playwright. http://www.ourcivilisation.com/smartboard/shop/dunsany/about.htm

Lord Dunsany 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.

Lord Dunsany B ritish peer, Edward John Moreton Drax Plunkett was the 18th Baron Dunsany, whose family seat is in County Meath, northwest of Dublin. He fought in the Boer War and WWI. An excellent chess player, Lord Dunsany drew Capablanca in a simultaneous exhibition given by the World Champion in London; his "The Three Sailors' Gambit" is considered among the best chess stories. D unsany was one of the harbingers of modern fantasy, along with William Morris and George MacDonald. A successful playwright, he once had five concurrent plays running on Broadway ( Five Plays ). He wrote over seventy books, many with a quill pen, others dictated to his wife, beginning in 1905 with The Gods of Pegana , and including the very readable memoirs Patches of Sunlight and While the Sirens Slept . In the words of the ardent admirer H.P. Lovecraft: "To the truly imaginative he is a talisman and a key unlocking rich storehouses of dream." Such magical tales as "Idle Days on the Yann" and "A Shop in Go-by Street" conjure idyllic realms of fantasy far away from the worries of the common world though they may well have troubles of their own.
