History of Irish Literature

Описание: The history of Irish literature is a rich tapestry of myth, rebellion, and linguistic innovation, spanning from ancient Celtic sagas like Táin Bó Cúailnge to modern Nobel laureates. Key phases include: Early Christian manuscripts (Book of Kells), 18th-century Anglo-Irish satires (Swift), Gaelic Revival (Yeats, Lady Gregory), and Modernist experiments (Joyce, Beckett). Post-independence, writers like Seamus Heaney and Sally Rooney have explored identity, conflict, and migration—blending English and Irish (Gaeilge) traditions to create a globally influential literary legacy.
