English 329 - Inventing Ireland:National Identity-Literary Form in the Irish Republic

Institution:

Colgate University

Subject:

Description:

M. Coyle A study of Irish writers since the late nineteenth century. Eager to shake off colonial influences, Irish writers have sought to define a distinctly Irish literary tradition. This project characteristically worked by turning to history older than anything English, either to the forgotten writings of Irish antiquity or to elements from Classical antiquity. What these writers made is nothing less than our modern sense of Ireland; and Ireland itself figures as perhaps their most important literary creation of all - an all-encompassing palimpsest of history kept present in the very landscape and its monuments. ENGL 329 ordinarily runs as an extended study course. (Post-1800 course.)
