	Irish literature - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-14)
		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.

	CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: Irish Literature
		Early Irish literature and the sagas relating to the pre-Christian period of Irish history abound with references to ogham writing, which was almost certainly of pagan origin, and which continued to be employed up to the Christianization of the island.
		These, according to Irish historians, were a body of Irish janissaries maintained by the Irish kings for the purpose of guarding their coasts and fighting their battles, but they ended by fighting the king himself and were destroyed by the famous cath (or battle of) Gabhra (Gowra).
		The Irish probably learnt the use of letters in the second century, but did not use the Roman alphabet until the country was converted to Christianity in the fourth and fifth centuries.

	Bryn Mawr Classical Review 2003.12.12
		In contrast to the confidently affirmative response of Brian Arkin ("Women in Irish Appropriations of Greek Tragedy," 198-212, esp. 202), McDonagh suggests throughout his essay that the drama affords no easy response to this question, and he leaves readers to ponder the implications of the ambiguity.
		Given the collection's stated interest in "versions of Greek tragedy," the inclusion of Síle ní Mhurchú's and Patricia Kelly's list of (mostly) ancient texts of all genres that were translated into Gaelic during the nineteenth and twentieth centuries ("Translations into Irish of Greek Drama and of Other Works Concerning Greece," 87-100) is a bit puzzling.
		The list is surely meant to help readers appreciate the broad historical context of the plays examined in the volume, specifically the importance of the classical literature and scholarship in Ireland, but its exact contribution is unclear.

		Yeats died in the South of France in 1939, and was buried in 1940 in Sligo.
		The whole Irish Revival is a reaction against this attitude, a movement towards the colony and away from the mothercountry, a replacement of 'Englishness' by 'Irishness'" (48).

		Because the Irish literary revival writers and the contemporary Irish poets constitute rather closely knit communities, the Emory and Boston College archives are highly cross-referential.
