Irish Renaissance

The Irish Renaissance was a cultural revival during the late 19th and early 20th centuries that sought to celebrate and renew Irish identity through literature, art, and music. It aimed to foster pride in Ireland’s unique history, language, and traditions, countering centuries of British dominance. Key figures like W.B. Yeats and Lady Gregory created new Irish works, blending modern ideas with Ireland's rich cultural heritage. This movement inspired national pride and played a significant role in Ireland’s push for independence, leaving a lasting impact on Irish cultural and artistic expression.
