ENGL 419 - Recent Irish Writing


3 Credit(s) | Lecture |
Course can be counted for credit once

Description:
A study of Irish literature after the age of Yeats and Joyce, the course examines invention, adaptation, and development, in the major genres, of Irish writing during decades of economic depression, cultural isolation, war, and renewed sectional and international tensions. Emphasis is given to the re-emergence of Irish writings, particularly in the achievements of the Ulster poets, in our own day. “If you would know Ireland,” advised Yeats, “body and soul-you must read its poems and stories.”
