ENGL 20545 - The Modern British and Irish Short Story

Institution:

University of Notre Dame

Subject:

English

Description:

This course will trace the generic development and changing structures of the short story form - there is more involved here than mere brevity - and will also provide a series of readings from the major British and Irish short story writers from the twentieth century. We will read from the short story theories of these individual authors, where such theory exists, and will examine the important connections between the form and the idea of a "`national" literature. Writers will include: James Joyce, Frank O'Connor, Liam O'Flaherty, Mary Lavin, Kate Roberts, D.H Lawrence and Virginia Woolf.
