Celtic Revival

The Celtic Revival was a cultural movement in the late 19th and early 20th centuries aimed at rediscovering and promoting Celtic heritage, art, literature, and traditions, particularly in Ireland, Scotland, and Wales. It sought to celebrate ancient folklore, myths, and the Gaelic language, often in response to British colonialism. Key figures included writers like W.B. Yeats and poets like Lady Gregory, who produced works that reflected Celtic themes. This revival significantly impacted literature, music, and visual arts, fostering a sense of national identity and pride among the Celtic peoples while influencing broader cultural movements in Europe.
