| Short Title: | Modern Irish Lit |
| Description: | This course will focus on Irish literature of the 20th century. Authors to be studied include W.B. Yeats, Lady Augusta Gregory, James Joyce, Elizabeth Bowen, Sean O'Casey, J.M. Synge, Nuala Ni Dhomhnaill, Jennifer Johnston, and Seamus Heaney. As we read lyrical and passionate plays, poems, stories, and novels, we will consider what outlooks on nation, empire, gender, language, and religion these works share. As a class we will determine what Irish literature has to teach us about the ethnic, religious, and class conflicts that have historically divided Ireland. Literature readings will be supplemented by a few historical essays to provide background information. |
