ENGL 20523 - The Hidden Ulster

Institution:

University of Notre Dame

Subject:

English

Description:

This course introduces students to the literature, language, culture and history of Ulster in Ireland and confronts the stereotypes of binary opposition that commonly mark the region. Through close textual readings of literary texts from the seventeenth century onwards, we discuss and interrogate the literary, religious, cultural and linguistic forces that shaped identity in Ulster from the colonial period onwards and explore the shared heritage of both communities -Irish/English, Catholic/Protestant, Native/Planter. This course will suit English majors and those interested in the study of identity formation and competing cultural ideologies. No prior knowledge of Irish is required for this course. All texts will be in translation.
