ENGL 20537 - Introduction to Irish Studies

Institution:

University of Notre Dame

Subject:

English

Description:

This course will provide an outline of the field of Irish studies. We will look Ireland its internal and external relations through an interdisciplinary lens that connects literary, sociological, political, historical, and economic perspectives. We explore several key elements of the study of Ireland using critical scholarship, archival information, and a range of creative works including films (from The Quiet Man to Once), literature (from Bram Stoker and Oscar Wilde to Nuala Ní Dhomhnaill and Seamus Heaney), and music (from 18th-century harpist Turlough Carolan to U2 and Dropkick Murphys). This course is open to students at every level and there are no prerequisites for this class other than an interest in Ireland and the Irish. While this is an introductory class, the interdisciplinary focus will also benefit students who have studied Ireland in other courses. Requirements will include brief response papers, a midterm and final exam.
