William Butler Yeats (1865-1939) was an Irish poet and playwright who helped to inaugurate the Irish Literary Revival. He and his sister Elizabeth Corbett Yeats (1868-1940), a member of William Morris's circle, started the Cuala Press in 1908. Their sister Lily Yeats (1866-1949), an embroiderer involved with the Arts and Crafts movement, ran an embroidery workshop affiliated with the Cuala Press. Together, the press and workshop were called Cuala Industries.

Rachel Annand Taylor (1876-1950) was a Scottish poet and biographer. Nora Florence Dryhurst (c. 1856-1930) was an Irish journalist and suffragette. [George William Russell, Frank O'Connor, Edward Plunkett, George Moore.]

Edward John Moreton Drax Plunkett (1878- 1957) published under the name Lord Dunsany; he was in fact 18th Baron of Dunsany and a British subject, but through his contacts with Irish writers, he played a role in the Irish Literary Revival. He was primarily a writer of short stories and novels, especially science fiction and fantasy, and a playwright.
