Excerpt: William Butler Yeats (pronounced ; 13 June 1865 28 January 1939) was an Irish poet and dramatist, and one of the foremost figures of 20th century literature. A pillar of both the Irish and British literary establishments, in his later years Yeats served as an Irish Senator for two terms. He was a driving force behind the Irish Literary Revival, and along with Lady Gregory and Edward Martyn founded the Abbey Theatre, serving as its chief during its early years. In 1923 he was awarded the Nobel Prize in Literature for what the Nobel Committee described as "inspired poetry, which in a highly artistic form gives expression to the spirit of a whole nation." He was the first Irishman so honored. Yeats is generally considered one of the few writers who completed their greatest works after being awarded the Nobel Prize; such works include The Tower (1928) and The Winding Stair and Other Poems (1929). Yeats was born and educated in Dublin but spent his childhood in County Sligo. He studied poetry in his youth, and from an early age was fascinated by both Irish legends and the occult. Those topics feature in the first phase of his work, which lasted roughly until the turn of the century. His earliest volume of verse was published in 1889, and those slow paced and lyrical poems d...More: http://booksllc.net/?id=33684 ... Read more

Extrait : Oscar Wilde, de son nom complet Oscar Fingal O'Flahertie Wills Wilde, est un écrivain irlandais, né à Dublin en Irlande le 16 octobre 1854 au 21 Westland Row, et mort à Paris d'une méningite le 30 novembre 1900. Oscar Wilde est le fils de Sir William Robert Wills Wilde, chirurgien irlandais, et de Jane Francesca Elgee ("Speranza"), poétesse et nationaliste irlandaise. Oscar fait d'abord de brillantes études au Trinity College de Dublin, puis au collège Magdalen d'Oxford ; il s'y distingue par son goût pour la discussion, le raffinement, ce qui lui vaudra d'être raillé par ses camarades. Cela ne l'empêcha pas de défendre avec les poings sa réputation (son frère était boxeur), ce qui est paradoxal et contredit l'image de dandy qu'il laissera à la postérité. Lord Alfred Douglas, surnommé « Bosie », et Oscar Wilde.En 1878, il reçoit le Newdigate Prize pour son poème sur Ravenne. Il en profite pour créer le mouvement de l'Art pour l'Art. Après l'obtention de son diplôme à Magdalen, Wilde retourne à Dublin, où il rencontre Florence Balcombe, dont il s'amourache. Quand il apprend ses fiançailles avec Bram Stoker, Wilde lui annonce son intention de quitter définitivement l'Irlande.

Excerpt: Sir William Rowan Hamilton (4 August 1805 2 September 1865) was an Irish physicist, astronomer, and mathematician, who made important contributions to classical mechanics, optics, and algebra. His studies of mechanical and optical systems led him to discover new mathematical concepts and techniques. His greatest contribution is perhaps the reformulation of Newtonian mechanics, now called Hamiltonian mechanics. This work has proven central to the modern study of classical field theories such as electromagnetism, and to the development of quantum mechanics. In mathematics, he is perhaps best known as the inventor of quaternions. Hamilton is said to have shown immense talent at a very early age, prompting astronomer Bishop Dr. John Brinkley to remark in 1823 of Hamilton at the age of eighteen:...More: http://booksllc.net/?id=39817 ...

High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! The Abbey Theatre, also known as the National Theatre of Ireland, is a theatre located in Dublin, Ireland. The Abbey first opened its doors to the public on 27 December 1904. Despite losing its original building to a fire in 1951, it has remained active to the present day. The Abbey was the first state-subsidized theatre in the English-speaking world; from 1925 onwards it received an annual subsidy from the Irish Free State. Since July 1966, the Abbey has been located at 26 Lower Abbey Street, Dublin 1. In its early years, the theatre was closely associated with the writers of the Irish Literary Revival, many of whom were involved in its founding and most of whom had plays staged there. The Abbey served as a nursery for many of the leading Irish playwrights and actors of the 20th century, including William Butler Yeats, Lady Gregory Augusta, Sean O'Casey and John Millington Synge. In addition, through its extensive programme of touring abroad and its high visibility to foreign, particularly American, audiences, it has become an important part of the Irish tourist industry. ...
