Robert Lynd

    Robert Lynd byl irský esejista známý svou uhlazenou literární dikcí a silným irským nacionalismem. Své eseje publikoval pod pseudonymem Y.Y. a jeho týdenní příspěvky pro New Statesman byly považovány za nenahraditelné. Lynd se zajímal o irskou kulturu a jazyk, byl členem Gaelské ligy a jeho práce se dotýkaly irské historie a politiky. Jeho literární hostiny v Londýně přitahovaly významné irské i anglické autory, což z něj činilo důležitou postavu literární scény své doby.
