Jane Wilde, píšící pod pseudonymem "Speranza", byla irská básnířka a horlivá podporovatelka irského nacionalistického hnutí. Svůj zájem zaměřila na sběr a uchování irských pohádek, čímž přispěla k zachování irského folklóru. Její literární dílo reflektuje její hluboké spojení s irskou kulturou a tradicemi. Wildeová byla také matkou známého dramatika Oscara Wildea.
