Description

This course is a study of representative drama, fiction, and poetry from the writers of the Celtic Movement in the early twentieth century to the new voices of contemporary Ireland. We will examine how some of the most important Irish writers in this century have questioned what it means to be Irish. In representing versions of Irishness, they take up issues like national identity, political violence, the rights of women, the role of religion, and the effects of modernization, which matter not only to the Irish but to all people.
