Research Abstract

The publication of the translation of Nuala Ni Dhomhnaill’s Irish language poetry and Yeats and the World of Irish Folklore is the main achievement of this research project. Paying a special attention to Irish-language literature, this study aimed at the examination of its relation to the English-language literature in the 20th century Ireland. What has been revealed so far is that while Irish is a minority language and it depends on the close connection to the English-language world for its survival, Irish-language literature has made a distinct contribution to the global world.
