The influence of Nietzsche's philosophy permeated early 20th-century Irish literature and culture, shaping the works of prominent writers like George Bernard Shaw, W. B. Yeats, and James Joyce. Shaw embraced Nietzschean ideas to develop a radical political drama, while Yeats drew inspiration for establishing a national theatre. Joyce playfully integrated Nietzsche's concepts into his fiction, reflecting on Ireland's evolving identity. Nietzsche's thoughts also resonated with Irish priests and politicians during a time of significant social and political upheaval, ultimately shaping visions for postcolonial Ireland and postwar Europe.
