Irish cultural revival

The Irish cultural revival was a movement in the late 19th and early 20th centuries aimed at renewing Ireland’s national identity by celebrating its language, literature, music, and traditions. It emerged partly in response to British rule, fostering pride and resistance through cultural expression. Key figures like W.B. Yeats and Maud Gonne promoted Irish history, folklore, and Gaelic language, inspiring a sense of unity and pride among the Irish people. This revival helped lay the groundwork for Ireland’s independence and a renewed appreciation of Irish heritage and arts.
