Ireland, cradle of literature
A world-renowned literary heritage
They include Oscar Wilde, James Joyce, George Bernard Shaw, Samuel Beckett… Irish writers who have left their mark on literature.
They wanted to pay tribute to Ireland, their country, or their region. Like James Joyce with Dublin, or William Butler Yeats with County Sligo, who found their inspiration in the authenticity of the Irish country, its nature and culture.
Ireland is still particularly proud of its heritage. As long as the country regularly devotes museums and exhibitions (temporary and permanent) to Irish writers, retracing their lives, their work and their talent.
They are also taught at Ireland’s leading universities, and their texts are analyzed, dissected, savored and glorified in all their beauty.
