okay so guys today we're gonna talk about cultural nationalism okay so this is the last section in your second year course and cultural nationalism is a type of nationalism that focuses on a shared culture within a nation so for Ireland we're talking about literature and drama the Irish language Irish dancing and Gaelic games so the GAA and etc so we're gonna start with the Bailey Gleek okay so the Gaelic League was founded by two men Oh McNeill and Douglas Hyde in 1893 and their aim was to promote the Irish language and so they went about establishing a newspaper which was all Australia and was called untied of soulish they trained traveling teachers so they trained teachers to or they trained people to be teachers and those those teachers would move around the country and hold workshops and classes in different towns and villages and parishes across the country they organized fashion ER and Kaleigh to encourage Irish dancing and music and the results were that they helped it did help slow the decline of the Irish language because speaking Irish Irish dancing Irish songs and music and Kaleigh etc all became more popular and it was opportunity for people to meet and Irish and speaking classes it's where future President Eamon de Valera met his wife and it contributed to the formation of the Irish identity so speaking Irish is a key part of our identity as Irish people so the next section is the Irish literary revival and I was founded by lady Gregory an RL pal WB Yeats and it was founded in the 1880s the aim was to promote Irish literature written in English okay so they were promoting and novels and plays that were written by Irish people but they were written in English and they established the Irish literary Theater and probably the most famous thing that they did or the most well-known thing that they did is that they established the Abbey Theatre in 1904 okay so we all know the Abbey Theatre I'm sure you've all been there at some point so they found it lady Gregory and WB Yeats fan to the Abbey Peter in 1904 is the very first theatre in Ireland so the results of the Irish literary revival and the Irish Taoiseach revile revival and the daily Gleek are existing at the same time okay you can see that so um new playwrights had their works shown in Ireland okay so normally and before the Irish century revival playwrights who wanted to write in English had to have their and they had to go to England and have their place shown in England now they were able to have their place shown in Ireland so again it contributed the development of Irish identity but it also encouraged Irish people to read works by Irish writers to the likes of Sean O'Casey and Brian Friel writers like that who AM were writing in Ireland writing about Irish life and Irish culture but they were writing in English and that made their works very accessible to Irish people so it did improve the popularity of reading Irish literature among the population
