Celtic Revival
The
Celtic Revival
(also referred to as the
Celtic Twilight
) was a variety of movements and trends in the 19th and 20th centuries that saw a renewed interest in aspects of Celtic culture. Artists and writers drew on the traditions of
Celtic literature
and
Celtic art
, in most cases what art historians call
Insular art
(the
Early Medieval
style of
Ireland
and
Britain
). Although the revival was complex and multifaceted, occurring across many fields and in various countries in
Northwest Europe
, its best known incarnation is probably the
Irish Literary Revival
. Here, Irish writers including
William Butler Yeats
,
Lady Gregory
,
"AE" Russell
,
Edward Martyn
and
Edward Plunkett
(Lord Dunsany) stimulated a new appreciation of traditional
Irish literature
and
Irish poetry
in the late 19th and early 20th century.
