	June 13 Birthdays: William Butler Yeats — FactMonster.com
		1865–1939, Irish poet and playwright, born in Dublin.
		The greatest lyric poet that Ireland has produced and one of the major figures of 20th-century literature, Yeats was the acknowledged leader of the Irish literary renaissance.
		The Irish Literary Theatre produced several of Yeats's plays including Cathleen Ni Houlihan (1902), and—after the Abbey Theatre was opened—The Hour Glass (1904), The Land of Heart's Desire (1904), and Deirdre (1907).

		The generation of Irish poets that followed Yeats were, to simplify, divided between those who were influenced by his early Celtic style and those who followed such modernist figures as James Joyce and Samuel Beckett, both of whom wrote poetry as well as their better known fiction and drama.
		Although the documented history of Irish theatre began at least as early as 1601, the earliest Irish dramatists of note were William Congreve, one of the most interesting writers of Restoration comedies, and Oliver Goldsmith and Richard Brinsley Sheridan, who were two of the most successful playwrights on the London stage in the 18th century.
		However, it was in the last decade of the century that the Irish theatre finally came of age with the emergence of George Bernard Shaw and Oscar Wilde and the establishment in Dublin in 1899 of the Irish Literary Theatre.

	An open national identity: Rutherford Mayne, Gerald MacNamara, and the plays of the Ulster Literary Theatre *. \| ...
		During the early decades of the twentieth century, while Ireland's Abbey Theatre tried hard to create a unified image of nationhood in the figure of a West-of-Ireland peasant, a little theatre company in the North of Ireland addressed issues of national representation by very different means.
		The literary magazine Uladh, four issues of which were published during the Ulster Literary Theatre's first season, provides a wealth of information on the ideological foundation of the company.

	Literary Encyclopedia: Beckett, Samuel
		Having begun literary life as a modernist and promoter of the reputations of Proust and Joyce, in the years before and after the Second World War he found his own voice (“began to write what I feel”) and continued to develop this voice unstintingly and without compromise until the year of his death.
		The major change wrought by Beckett in the tradition of prose fiction was to eviscerate the formerly sure and reliable notions of character, location, culture and narrative convention (in a manner comparable to composer Anton Webern's contraction of the classical orchestral symphony into a five-minute episode of music studded with silence).
		In theatre likewise, Beckett proved that compelling drama could be made from breaking, not following, the accepted laws of incident, characterisation and dramatic context.
