Londresen jaio zen, irlandar familia noble baten oinordeko gisa. Kenten hezi ondoren, Dunsany gaztelua bizi izan zen. Bigarren Boer Gerran eta Lehen Mundu Gerran parte hartu zuen eta 1916an Dublingo Pazko matxinadan zauritu zuten. 1921ean epaitu eta isuna ordaintzera kondenatu zuten.

William Butler Yeatsekin eta Lady Gregoryrekin lan egin zuen Abbey Theatreren alde. Irlandako xake eta pistola txapelduna izan zen eta bidaietan eta ehizan aritu zen. Gainera, Dunsanyren xake izeneko joko asimetriko bat asmatu zuen. Ondoren, ohorezko doktoretza jaso zuen Trinity College Dublinen.

Ehunka ipuin, eleberri, antzezlan eta saiakera idatzi zituen. Ezagunenak The King of Elfland's Daughter eta The Gods of Pegāna dira. Bere lanak fantasiazko generoaren oinarria izan ziren literaturan.
