Irish Literary Revival information


The Irish Literary Revival (also called the Irish Literary Renaissance, sometimes nicknamed the Celtic Twilight though this has a broader meaning) was a flowering of Irish literary talent in the late 19th and early 20th century. It includes works of poetry, music, art, and literature.

One of its foremost figures was W. B. Yeats, considered a driving force of the Revival.

Because of English colonial rule, matters of Gaelic heritage were sometimes viewed in a political context.
