Jane Wilde, die unter dem Pseudonym "Speranza" schrieb, war eine irische Dichterin, die sich leidenschaftlich für die nationalistische Bewegung einsetzte. Sie widmete sich intensiv dem Sammeln und Bewahren irischer Märchen und leistete damit einen wichtigen Beitrag zur Erhaltung des irischen Volksguts. Ihr Werk spiegelt ihre tiefe Verbundenheit mit der irischen Kultur und Tradition wider. Wilde war zudem die Mutter des berühmten Dramatikers Oscar Wilde.
