The Dublin Literary Revival

The Dublin Literary Revival was a cultural movement in early 20th-century Ireland focused on rediscovering and celebrating Ireland's literary heritage. It aimed to revive interest in old Irish myths, poetry, and storytelling, fostering pride in national identity. Prominent writers like W.B. Yeats and Lady Gregory helped established this movement, which influenced Irish literature, arts, and cultural nationalism. The revival also sought to elevate Irish playwrights and writers, contributing to a broader sense of cultural independence and contributing significantly to Ireland’s modern literary tradition.
