<p id="wx20">Edward Dunsany era il figlio di John William Plunkett ed Ernle Elizabeth Ernle-Erle Drax e suo zio era il celebre ammiraglio Reginald Aylmer Ranfurly Plunkett-Ernle-Erle-Drax. Dopo aver studiato a <a href="/wit/Eton" title="Eton" wx:linktype="known" wx:pagename="Eton" wx:page_id="196838" id="wx21">Eton</a> e <a href="/wit/Sandhurst" class="new" title="Sandhurst" wx:linktype="unknown" wx:pagename="Sandhurst" id="wx22">Sandhurst</a>, prestò servizio come ufficiale durante la <a href="/wit/Seconda_guerra_boera" title="Seconda guerra boera" wx:linktype="known" wx:pagename="Seconda_guerra_boera" wx:page_id="39973" id="wx23">seconda guerra boera</a> e durante la <a href="/wit/Prima_guerra_mondiale" title="Prima guerra mondiale" wx:linktype="known" wx:pagename="Prima_guerra_mondiale" wx:page_id="3531" id="wx24">prima guerra mondiale</a> tra i fucilieri. Era un eccellente cacciatore e sportivo e fu campione irlandese di pistola e di scacchi. Ottenne la fama con i suoi racconti brevi, i suoi romanzi, le sue opere teatrali e le sue poesie. I suoi più importanti racconti brevi furono pubblicati in antologie tra il <a href="/wit/1905" title="1905" wx:linktype="known" wx:pagename="1905" wx:page_id="4781" id="wx25">1905</a> e il <a href="/wit/1919" title="1919" wx:linktype="known" wx:pagename="1919" wx:page_id="4767" id="wx26">1919</a>: la prima di queste raccolte, <i id="wx27">The Gods of Pegāna</i>, fu la prima ed unica che pubblicò su pagamento.</p>

<p id="wx28">La particolarità delle sue opere sta nell'ambientazione, un <a href="/wit/Mondo_immaginario" title="Mondo immaginario" wx:linktype="known" wx:pagename="Mondo_immaginario" wx:page_id="631259" id="wx29">mondo immaginario</a> con una propria storia, una propria geografia ed i propri dei: questa particolarità, insieme a numerose altre peculiarità stilistiche e compositive di Dunsany, influenzerà profondamente l'opera di <a href="/wit/Howard_Phillips_Lovecraft" title="Howard Phillips Lovecraft" wx:linktype="known" wx:pagename="Howard_Phillips_Lovecraft" wx:page_id="46461" id="wx30">Howard Phillips Lovecraft</a>.</p>
