The Irish Literary Movement - Detailseite

The Irish Literary or Celtic Renaissance Movement of the late 19^th and early 20^th centuries revived the Gaelic cultural heritage in order to recreate the cultural identity of Ireland after centuries of English political and cultural domination.  Thus, this movement also had an immense political impact on the struggle for Irish `Home Rule`.  We will explore the contribution and limits of this movement (both in aesthetic and political terms) to the modernization of literature in the early 20^th century – on a European scale.
