George William Russell (1867-1935) who wrote under the pseudonym AE was an Anglo-Irish supporter of the Nationalist movement in Ireland, a critic, poet, and painter. He was also a mystical writer, and centre of a group of followers of theosophy in Dublin, for many years. He worked many years for the Irish Agricultural Organization Society (IAOS), an agricultural co-operative movement founded by Horace Plunkett. When Plunkett needed an able organiser, W. B. Yeats suggested Russell, who became Assistant Secretary of the IAOS. Russell was editor from 1905-1923 of The Irish Homestead, the journal of the IAOS, and infused it with vitality that made it famous half the world over. He was also editor of The Irish Statesman from 1923 until 1930.

Autorenporträt
George William Russell, known also by his pen name AE, was a seminal figure in the Irish literary renaissance. Born on April 10, 1867, in Lurgan, County Armagh, Ireland, Russell was not just an author but also a painter, economist, and a leader of the Irish cooperative movement. His contributions span various fields, yet it is his literature and poetry that have left an indelible mark. A key aspect of Russell's literary contribution can be traced to his involvement with the Theosophical Society, which deeply influenced his philosophic thought and in turn infused his writing with mysticism, spirituality, and a deep preoccupation with metaphysical themes. His engagement with Theosophy is prominently reflected in his works like 'AE in the Irish Theosophist', where he shared his esoteric visions and thoughts with a blend of poesy and intellectual insight. Russell's literary style was distinctive for its lyricism and often carried an ethereal quality that transcended the conventional literary trends of his time. He was an associate of W. B. Yeats and played a crucial role in the cultural nationalism that was part of the fabric of the Irish revival. Russell's poetry and essays reflect a profound understanding of Irish rural life and an unwavering commitment to a vision of a harmonious and spiritually enriched world. He passed away on July 17, 1935, in Bournemouth, England, leaving behind a legacy cherished by scholars and readers of Irish literature and history.
