Explore literary Ireland: From WB Yeats' Drumcliffe to James Joyce's Dublin

Ireland has a long and illustrious literary legacy. This Saturday marks 150 years since the birth of poet William Butler Yeats, one of many talents to have found fame beyond Irish shores. Oscar Wilde, James Joyce, George Bernard Shaw and Samuel Beckett are also among the country's greatest exports, along with – more recently – Seamus Heaney, Colm Toibin and Roddy Doyle. Ireland's cultural calendar is packed with events commemorating its famous writers, and there are plenty of places with bookish connections to visit.
